Program Management
In over 20 years, JSC has successfully managed numerous initiatives ranging from small size projects up to multi million programs with coordination of +30 individual projects, with international setup and in complex and sensitive environments.
Our support spans across all phases of the initiative – from inception to its closure.
Inception
Define objectives, scope and expected deliverables, check project set-up, and support the approval process
Planning
Break project down into manageable parts, define measurable milestones linked to deliverables / benefits
Requirements
Manage requirements, i.e. ensure a clear definition and a mutual understanding, challenge requirements, track changes
Monitoring
Measure progress with regard to deliverables, monitor schedule as well as project cost and benefit realization
Risk Management
Identify and assess project risks, initiate risk-mitigation measures
Third party Management
Ensure sound and reliable cooperation with third parties involved in the project, keep control on partners
Closure
Safeguard know-how for the client, i.e. lessons learned, complete documentation, transfer to operations
Especially complex and/or sensitive IT programs are usually accompanied by uncertainty and unrest – e.g. within the IT management, in the workforce, in the business.
Appropriate communication and change management activities are a corner stone for success of the IT program. Therefore we pay special attention to stakeholders and their interests and the set-up of appropriate activities based on a thorough analysis.
