Program and Project Management Services

A project is a temporary endeavor having a defined beginning and end constrained by time/schedule. Organizations requiring project managers often find it cost effective to hire experienced program or project managers on a temporary basis. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while adhering to project goals and constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time, budget and quality. The scenario to implement a project using a temporary team is attractive as it can offer lower overhead costs and rapid development of needed capability. However it requires careful selection of resource(s) with the right skills and experience at low costs.

Long-term projects in contrast to short term projects are characterized as business as usual (operations or programs). Efficient and effective operations also require low administrative, maintenance and oversight costs. In practice, the management of projects and programs is quite different and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management. In contrast to project management, the program management primary challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives. This requires management governance and oversight of all the projects.  Experienced and skilful program manager staff is key to achieving organization objectives.
