MD+A has developed a customized project methodology adapted from the industry-standard project management processes and techniques of the Project Management Institute's Project Management - Body of Knowledge™. Our detailed project plans address key elements that can affect the success of a project, including:
- Schedule management
- Change management
- Scope management
- Risk management
- Quality control
- Communications and Reporting
- Contingency planning
- Knowledge transfer
MD+A's approach is further enhanced by employing industry-standard software development methodologies to effectively control development projects, to maintain the cost, schedule and scope while being flexible enough to address issues as they naturally arise throughout a project lifecycle. Our methods are reviewed yearly to determine whether opportunities for improvement exist, and are then subject to peer review.
Our project management plans include detailed schedules and procedures for communicating with all project decision makers and team members. Clients receive regular, detailed updates on progress, summaries of decisions taken, and the implications of all risks for delivery and quality, ensuring that the project stays in budget and in scope. Project team members receive regular feedback on performance and quality of work, so that course corrections can be easily integrated into the project approach. By communicating with all project stakeholders in this way, we avoid unwelcome surprises for our clients at project close-out.
