Our approach to comprehensive and effective project management is described below:

  1. A strong Program Management based on PMBOK best practices that provides an effective way to develop and coordinate requirements, manage the project risks, and manage the resources that ultimately makes the project successful.
  2. A Risk Management Plan (RMP) to identify risks throughout task execution, monitor activities for potential risks, mitigate risks, and develop contingency plans should those risks come to fruition.
  3. A highly skilled, stable, security-conscious, and multi-functional workforce with a strong team ethics to partner with our clients and work towards a shared goal.
  4. A Change Management process that helps the organizations, both Federal and Contractor staff, to embrace change in a positive manner.
  5. Customer Surveys as a tool to provide a method to assess stakeholders views on the parameters of service delivery, including quality, timeliness, and efficiency. The survey’s results are used in the Continual Service Improvement (CSI) which is one of the ITIL processes.
  6. Training program to improve the education and the professionalism of the workforce.
  7. Clear dispute resolution processes and procedures regarding the recording, reporting, scoring, and reviewing of performance.
