Project Optimization Consulting
Using computer-based analysis and simulation tools, we can simulate an IT project by modeling the performance (including any rework) of all project participants. The results of this simulation can be used by project sponsors and IT managers to accurately quantify and assess resource needs, key risks and bottlenecks. It also provides a sound basis for evaluation of alternative project management strategies.
Simulation of a typical, complex IT project produces a predicted reduction of roughly 30% in project time and cost, with substantially improved confidence for success.
A typical project optimization consulting engagement requires three days with the client gathering project data. We deliver both a written report and an oral presentation summarizing the results of our analysis. The reports contain our assessment of the project's real resource needs, likely bottlenecks, training requirements and potential tradeoffs between cost, schedule and quality.
