Each project manager rigorously controls and monitors their schedule. The focus on scheduling events and performance provides team members with information detailing resource and time capacity, experience, workload allocation, cost trade-off relationships, and delivery of committed resources. Quality Management: Through quality management, we actively implement ways to manage risk, deliver high-quality products, and improve financial success. All quality criteria will be framed in concrete, measurable terms: time, cost and product specifications, and performance levels. Quality control procedures are a discipline implemented by our project teams featuring reviews to determine if the proposed solutions will work and checking work products for accuracy and correctness. Budget and Scope Tracking: The Deltek system,which is linked to the project work plan,generates all necessary financial and accounting reports for monitoring expenditures and controlling costs for individual scope elements and the overall project. Communication: Our approach to managing interactions begins with the development of a clear communications plan. The project will start off with agreed-upon rules or protocols around which information can be exchanged and modified. With the Project Manager serving as the main communications point of contact, the plan ensures that the needs of all members of the team (including the client) are met. Risk and Change Management: Managing risk and change is crucial to project success. Our approach seeks to engage City staff throughout the project to minimize the occurrence and effects of change. Our approach to manage risk is to address it from the start of the project.These approaches foster technology and knowledge transfer and builds ownership in the project and ultimate products.
