Project Management

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.

Project Management Areas

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:

3. Execution

Team management, project monitoring and management, status reporting and change management

4. Closure

Project deliverable review and verification, project acceptance and retrospectives

Project Management Consulting

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.
