Management of a project is the greatest risk factor for any corporation implementing a network or deploying infrastructure. GOS acts as an agent for our customer. We are proactive with the vendors, suppliers, facility personnel, Telco's contractors and local users. We produce a comprehensive project management manual that defines all aspects of project planning implementation and procedures.
Our project management life cycle is a step-by-step framework of best practices used to shepherd a project from initiation to conclusion. By following each step, teams increase their chances of achieving their goals, including meeting crucial deadlines and staying within budget.
We follow the five phases of the project management life cycle:
We follow the five phases of the project management life cycle:
- Initiating
In the initiation phase, the project will be defined, including its purpose, goals, scope, resources, team roles, and stakeholder expectations. - Planning
The planning phase will determine the steps to actually achieve the project goals. In other words, the “how” of completing a project. If the initiation phase involves assembling your troops, the planning phase involves deciding what to do with them. We will establish budgets, timelines, milestones, source materials, and necessary documents. This step also involves calculating and predicting risk, implementing change processes, and outlining communication protocols.
- Executing
Putting our plan into action and keeping the team on track. Generally, this means tracking and measuring progress, managing quality, mitigating risk, managing the budget, and using data to inform your decisions. - Monitoring & Controlling
This phase takes place concurrently with the execution phase. We will monitor the project's performance, gathering key data to determine whether it's performing in line with the project plan. If not, we will control the issues that need to be addressed. - Closing
In the closing phase of the project management life cycle, we will conclude project activities, turn the finished product or service over to its new owners, and assess the things that went well and didn’t go so well.
