Enabling our clients to succeed by continuously improving the quality of our project communications and management processes.
The ZAG IT Project Management Office (PMO) is a key component of our IT Project Consulting services. Since we are involved in complex engagements, the PMO enables ZAG to deliver effective solutions in a predictable manner. To ensure effective delivery, PMO is involved as early as possible in the scope definition process.
We offer Project Management as a stand-alone service or as part of our other IT project consulting services. With our years of experience in technology engineering, systems integration, tools, processes, and asset management, we deliver a value-driven approach that can manage project change while tightly managing cost, time and scope. As the complexity of technology integration increases, so does the need for solutions that are more predictable and defined, where outcomes can be measured and managed.
Our goal is to deliver services that meet requirements and result in client satisfaction. The PMO begins this process by defining requirements to ensure effective delivery and is involved as early as possible in the scope definition process:
Requirements gathering, project budgeting and resource assignment
Requirements review, project scheduling and project kickoff meeting and setup of project management tools
Team management, project monitoring and management, status reporting and change management
Project deliverable review and verification, project acceptance and retrospectives
Companies are looking to stay competitive and meet business demands in today’s rapidly changing environment. Projects must be completed faster and within budget, and given the complexities of business and technology today, companies are turning to project management offices (PMO) to improve processes, control costs and deliver a clearly defined outcome. The return on the PMO investment is realized through consistent processes and oversight that will deliver greater efficiency, improve customer service and satisfaction, and provide greater competitive advantage.
The goal of the PMO is to improve execution and, ultimately, profitability through efficient project execution and better reporting standards that enable strategic decision-making. To that end, more companies are turning to outsourced PMO to manage complex IT projects and initiatives. Managing projects internally can prove to be a costly and inefficient process due to inexperience, ever-changing project complexities, and inconsistent management.
ZAG employs a combination of agile IT project management methods to ensure IT project consulting success. We have found this approach to be highly effective in working through issues, while maintaining key milestones and providing executives with accurate project status. Our process provides greater visibility and continuous feedback, so we can react quickly to change, address bottlenecks faster and deliver a more consistent outcome.
Our team works closely with our clients to assess program needs and develop a PMO consistent with those goals and corporate strategies. Our services include:
Experience is key to success. ZAG can help. We have been helping clients with complex IT challenges for nearly 20 years.
