Facilities Innovative Solutions’ Project Managers are responsible for accomplishing the stated strategic project objectives.
Key project management responsibilities include creating clear and attainable objectives, building the project requirements, and managing the constraints of the project management triangle, which are cost, time, scope, and quality. To put it simply, they will first determine and then implement your exact needs, based on the knowledge of the firm they are representing.
We also know there are many things that can go wrong in projects regardless of how successfully they are planned and executed. Partial or full-project failures, when they do occur, can often be traced to poor planning. This can result in adverse project outcomes including ongoing, repeated project re-plans and extensions, unclear work assignments, scope creep or unmanageable, frequently changing scope, budget overrun, missed deadlines and unusable new products or delivered features.
Planning is key, we therefore strive to develop the following elements in our project planning:
- Project management plan
- Assumptions
- Project objectives
- Tasks
- Action plan
- Constraints
- Network diagram
- Project costs
- Risk management plan
- Risk identification
- Risk analysis
- Risk mitigation
