For years IT projects have been getting more and more complex, and this means that demands on project management continue to increase. In particular, it is in the course of company group projects or other major projects that a high level of integration and methodology competence is required to cope with the large number of different projects and sub-projects. Frequently the initial situation means having to deal with a number of individual approaches and heterogeneous technologies, as well as complex team and supplier set-ups.

To be in a position to meet the tough expectations placed on project planning and controlling, one significant step is to implement standardized methodology. This will ensure the success of your project.

The ESPRiT project management approach is based on the internationally-recognized standard methodology PMBOK (Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, ed. PMI). This provides solutions to the various challenges, solutions that have been individually adapted to your project. Here we put particular emphasis on achieving your milestones and project results “in time, budget, quality”.

In accordance with the project situation, our consultants support you with

• defining the content of your project and distinguish between this content and other projects on the basis of the project goals and priorities, as well as the scope statement. To do this we prioritize together, make the appropriate task allocations, and keep to the team tasks. 
• planning your project: together we plan the project approach and the coordination of individual activities.
• optimizing your quality management: We implement a methodology for quality assurance and control. This is based on commonly defined quality planning with quality gates.
• implementing your risk management: We conceptualize and implement continuous risk management, so as to minimize project risks by setting up escalation procedures and providing answers to solution-critical questions.
• managing your resources: We implement central resource management on the basis of project priorities and availabilities, and we support you in focusing your critical resources on specialized project issues.
• controlling your costs: We provide you with an initial cost estimate and continuous reviews.

The benefits for you: A shorter project duration, qualitatively valuable results, and project costs that are easier to plan for, as well as the continuous benefit of higher transparency regarding the project status. In addition, as an external partner, we ensure that you have efficient and effective risk and escalation management procedures in place.
