| AINS provides the full breadth
of project management functions. We abide by the following principles:
Staffing
Select professionals to support the work assignments. Assign the most
qualified personnel to execute the specific activities and tasks issued
by the client. Leverage resources to field the best team to do the work.
Bring on key personnel and other companies as needed.
Project Plan
Develop a Project Plan (including a Work Breakdown Structure and
staffing plan) to accomplish the tasks of the work assignments. Submit
to the client for approval.
Deliverables
Provide quality products, on time and within budget. Provide progress
reports and briefings to the client as required.
Schedule
Develop schedules and milestones for progress and cost tracking.
Schedules will be based on a WBS developed for the various tasks.
Cost
Record, track, report, and proactively manage costs. Our Program Manager
will carefully monitor expended resources.
Performance
Manage costs by program/ project management leadership in relation to
project progress. Costs incurred must be commensurate with progress.
Change Management
Manage change, assess the impacts, and take appropriate action. Quantify
change in terms of staffing and cost; develop and quantify the impacts
on the progress and cost schedules.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is embedded throughout our management plan. Review
elements of the standards, detailed work plans, checklists, or other
tools used to accomplish the tasks. Review deliverables and products for
content and accuracy. Maintain customer feedback loops.
Risk Management
Manage project risks proactively. Determine the relative exposure in
terms of time and cost. Reduce risk to an acceptable level. Plan backups
and mitigation.
Communication
Ensure open communication and collaboration with the client. Begin each
Project with a Project Definition Workshop (PDW) to bring all
stakeholders together to gain a common understanding and mutual
agreement/buy-in.
Automated Management Tools
Use Microsoft Project, Primavera Project Office or other
customer-approved software for project planning, management, tracking
and reporting. |
