Project Charter Agility

Providing a high-level overview of the project and serving as a roadmap for the project team and stakeholders, a charter typically includes the purpose, objectives, scope, deliverables, stakeholders, assumptions, constraints, risks, team members, communication plan, and budget. It contains critical dates, milestones, assumptions, constraints, risks, and dependencies ensuring that all team members have a clear understanding of the project. 

Project Scope Strategy

BeckThom will support our client by defining the project scope plan, creating a project plan, and overseeing project team members with an ongoing guide to keep the team on task throughout the project's lifecycle—assignments for each task to specific people or resources the team can access. Written SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and with a time element or deadline).

Timeline Analysis

Timelines may lengthen if the scope increases. Reduced funding has the same effect; for instance, if a team member is let go because of financial limitations, the project may take longer. Timelines help ensure that final deliverables meet project requirements. To that end, it helps to do a bit of homework.

Budget and Cost 

A project budget includes all direct and indirect costs, such as labor and other resources required for project requirements. It is created before the project begins and often consists of a contingency reserve for unexpected costs. A budget also helps pitch a project to stakeholders and raise the necessary funds.

Evaluation an Execution

This process is usually responsible for checking in with each team member, ensuring all deliverables are completed on time, and facilitating communication and hand-offs between team members and other project deliverables. The evaluation process is the final stage of the project. This stage shows the required metrics to call this project a success.

Communication and Schedule Method

Track deadlines may involve a progress report, which is a notable place to store all project information. In project management, nothing gets done in a vacuum, and a project manager has to communicate like a pro with people of all different backgrounds. A clear schedule can be checked against actual progress at a glance, and it is worth a thousand words for both management and the workforce combined. 

Risk Mitigation Management and Planning 

This process involves monitoring and controlling project risks, reviewing and tracking, surviving and thriving. The goal is to prepare for and reduce the likelihood of adverse events while ensuring the project is delivered on time and within budget. Our team looks for risks and any issues and develops strategies to address them. You can use project roadmap tools to stay on track, such as a shared calendar, Gantt charts, or visual system boards.

Closure, Archiving Records, and Lessons Learned

Once the project is completed, the goal is met, or the process is under control and performing as expected, the project team turns over the project's output to the customer, transferring the Final Product.

Our team ensures that the project's deliverables meet the original project plan and get final approval from the project sponsor and stakeholders. Then, we pass the project on to the team or people who will own it going forward and finalize the final project team report.
