ITSolutions builds core project management discipline into every client engagement, including contracts where management of the project itself is the key deliverable. Regardless of scope, we leverage proven project management constructs and principles from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) to ensure effective planning, efficient task management, optimum performance, and complete accountability. Our goal is to closely align project performance with agreed-upon metrics as well as the organization’s high-level mission. Our focus in the areas of Change Management, Risk Management, Opportunity Management and Quality Management has earned us national recognition for delivering projects on time and within budget.
ITSolutions Project Managers (PMs) are certified Project Management Professionals (PMPs) with extensive training and many years of practical experience. In addition to managing individual projects, we work directly with client Project Management Offices (PMOs) to support the ongoing management of a comprehensive portfolio of projects for a wide variety of organizations. We have extensive experience designing, implementing and maintaining a variety of project and portfolio management tools such as Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project Server 2007, Microsoft Excel, and the Primavera suite, including ProSight. Starting as early as a simple needs assessment or with the final Statement of Work (SOW), our comprehensive project management framework includes: Work and Organizational Breakdown Structures (WBS/OBS); Integrated Master Plan (IMP); Critical Path Method (CPM); resource allocation; baseline, staffing and variance analysis; Performance Management Baseline (PMB); basis of estimates (BOE); and budget/cost time phasing.
ITSolutions supports private companies and Government agencies by improving business performance, efficiency, and profitability. Drawing from our extensive past experience and our proprietary library of proven project plans and templates, we manage each project by phase, and we tailor the project life cycle to the type of project and the specific needs and objectives of the organization. The primary components of the Project Management Life Cycle (PMLC) iteratively under each phase include:
- Planning - ITSolutions emphasizes a clear understanding and definition of project requirements and scope, leading to development of the WBS/OBS.
- Performance - ITSolutions manages task execution and tracking; risk, quality, and cost issue reporting; and status communication to stakeholders.
- Accountability - ITSolutions conducts formalized reviews of work in progress, schedule performance, and final deliverable reviews and acceptance.
