Project Management

Project management is the key to a successful implementation effort. No matter how impressive the proposed technology, without an experienced project management team, the ability to achieve a timely, on-budget project is drastically diminished.

A project management plan provides guidance on how the project scope will be defined, documented, verified, managed and controlled by the project management team. The launch of the project is the starting point from which the expectations, milestones and successes will be set and measured. Stewart utilizes the Project Management Institute's (PMI) best practices throughout each project lifecycle, and provides the foundation for all project communications, risk management, personnel management, change order management and product/solution delivery. Five essential project management phases are implemented: Initiation; Planning; Executing; Monitoring/Controlling and Closing, each of which is crucial to successful project completion on time and within budget.

Stewart provides the expertise to guide and train government project development teams from start to finish on both small and large-scale project implementation.
