Project Team Consulting and Mentoring - Focusing on Specifics

Project cycles last many months. Your project managers and system engineers are committed for the duration. Our project practitioners experience many and varied project situations every month.

A day or two of consulting - a planning or re-planning workshop - can make the difference between project success and failure.

Business case development

Evaluating requirements

Planning workshops (Cards-on-the-Wall, Work Breakdown Structures, Budgets . . .)

Brainstorming solutions

Trade studies and concept selection

Recovering troubled projects

A Cards-on-the-Wall
planning session

In the Cards-on-the-Wall
project network development
method, the team hangs each
work package on the wall, by
project phase, and
interconnects them to reflect
the interdependencies.

We prefer the wall over a computer monitor because it affords the whole team room to collaborate. We use "wetware" (the brains of the team) for creating the network, and software for capturing that network and computing the critical path.
