Project Management

To succeed, a project must not only meet its deliverables, it must be on time and on budget. Careful attention to the early stages — discovery, planning, requirements gathering, and resource allocation — is where the foundation for successful project achievement is prepared.

Our AVISTA project management team works with you upfront to define:

• Coordination – Determining the “checks and balances” for subsequent communications among project team stakeholders
• Scope – Carefully outlining all work required to complete the project successfully — with no surprises
• Time management – Identifying the processes required to ensure timely completion of the project
• Costs – Determining processes required to ensure that the project is completed within the approved budget
• Potential risks – Clarifying contingency plans for known and unknown developments
• Quality controls – Ensuring that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken and any development/certification standards to which it must conform
• Stakeholder involvement – Ensuring the most effective use of the people involved with the project

AVISTA’s dedication to these principles is evidenced in our careful logging of project history in nearly 900 completed engagements. We capture all elements of project history in our proprietary knowledge base, OMNI™, to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of our future project management activities. Our OMNI system offers the industry’s most accurate project estimates, resource planning, status tracking and scheduling using real-time Earned Value tracking.
