Outsoucing Project Management

Outsourcing Project Management

It is Valentine's day and have you fallen out of love with your project manager?  It is that time of the year again when romance is in the air.  Chocolates, flowers and cards, all around, all saying I love you.  But you don’t feel that way at all, in fact you have fallen out of love with your project manager.  You feel a bit of a humbug.  You can’t afford him all the time but you know you do need him at certain times of the year, especially when multiple projects need to be delivered.   Stop feeling so bad.  Why not outsource your project management capabilities?

Outsourcing project management means you can buy in project management expertise when you need it.  You hire the experts to plan, schedule, manage, track and report on your projects while you concentrate on your core competencies.

Benefits 

1. Outsourcers look at your processes with new eyes.
2. Best practices are followed
3. Outsourcers hit the ground running
4. You can focus on your business

Outsourcing project management is becoming more widespread and common practice.   Why not outsource your project management capabilities to People4projects.

How does it work? 

We estimate and plan the project with you in a workshop environment; we determine the key objectives, the benefits and the ROI.  We develop the project charter which includes the milestones and schedule, the project structure, the communications plan and dependencies, assumptions and risks.  At all stages we work closely with you, ensuring you get the results you need. 
Once the project charter is approved we assign tasks and dates.  We return normally once a week to hold project meetings, update the project plan, issue status reports, updating risk registers and change control logs.

In order to get the best out of outsourcing project management you must have:
1. Management buy in  - internal resources will have to be committed
2. Good  documentation – this is integral to “knowledge transfer”
3. Good communications – the relationship must work properly
4. Hire the best.

So stop falling out of love with project managers and fall in love with Project Management Outsourcing.
