Project Management Framework

At the highest level, PCC’s Project Management Framework will address the following components and, when implemented, will contribute to the success of any project. The PCC Project Management Methodology is based on a framework consisting of several key factors, namely:

• Best practices in software development
  
• Clearly defined critical success factors and a phased project lifecycle that addresses each success factor
  
• Understanding of the unique elements of the particular engagement that must be managed to ensure success
  
• Risk mitigation by implementing “industry best practices” to guide each phase of the project
  
• Delivery model that meets the client’s implementation schedule as well as conforms to the client’s organizational structure
  
• Communication plan designed that focuses on free and open horizontal and vertical communication across the client’s organization and the project team
  
• Utilization of tools to help track, control, and report on project tasks and schedule
  
• Management processes that are easy to use and implement and are focused on quality
  
• Availability of best resources to bring success to the project
  

Project Life Cycle

The Project Life Cycle for a PCC project consists of five distinct phases: project initiation, planning, execution, controlling, and closing. Each phase of the project life cycle has key deliverables and tasks that define it.

Following this industry-standard approach with the guidance of PMP certified project managers allows PCC to bring success to any project.

“PCC far exceeded our expectations. The new web based system is very easy to use. They were very cost effective and on time.”
