Project management

Successful project management is the glue that holds technically complex and demanding IT projects together.

At Eduserv we have a dedicated projects team with over fifty years’ combined experience in handling a wide range of projects for clients from government, commercial, charity, cultural heritage and public sectors.

Our approach to project management centres around really getting to know your requirements from the start. We’ll then tailor a personalised approach that will help deliver results to your scope, timescales and budget.

We’re big enough to be able to provide the full service, dedicated support that you would expect from large IT projects, but small enough to be entirely flexible to work in a way that suits you. This includes regular communication through methods which we’ll agree together – such as weekly conference calls, highlight and traffic light reports, project board meetings, risk and issue reviews, project governance updates – and of course, we’re always on hand via email or phone when you need to talk.

Highly qualified project management professionals

As you would expect, our project managers are qualified in all the major project management disciplines and are members of professional organisations, including:

• PRINCE2
• SCRUM
• Managing Successful Programmes (MSP)
• Association for Project Management (APM)
• Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
• Rapid Application Development (RAD)

From the very beginning of a project you’ll be allocated a Project Manager who will be your dedicated point of contact throughout. Our Project Managers work right alongside our technical staff so you can enjoy excellent levels of access to the teams who are working on your project.

Project management services we can offer

• Budget management
• Risk management
• Project planning
• Quality management
• Project consultancy

Because we handle both infrastructure (hosting) and development (web content management and application development) work, our project managers can manage the entire process of planning, developing and launching your project. This includes managing the transition from PRINCE2 to an ITIL-managed environment.

At an early stage we’ll identify risks and issues and agree contingency and mitigation plans with you. We’ll explain the implications of technical complexities in plain English and, if you choose, give you detailed reports on technical work.
