Project Management
We make projects move! If you have a project that has been sitting on the shelf for longer than you care to admit, we can help. Communication is the backbone of our projects and what leads to successful project completion and satisfied customers time and again.
With extreme care and organization, we create agendas, monitor deadlines and adhere to the budget.
At the onset of a project, we work with your team to determine periodic meeting times which we can host using our web meeting software. We know the balance between being friendly but also firm with the team members. During the project we keep detailed records of decisions made and actions taken so that at the close of the project you will be left with a document that tells the story of the project.
We work with our clients in two ways on projects.
Assist Existing Project Manager
We can come alongside their existing Project Manager as an assistant. This is a good fit when your team has a Project Manager that really needs full oversight of a project and wants to keep a level of involvement, however, they would like someone experienced to do some of the Project Management tasks for them. We have both large corporate clients and medium size clients who have taken this approach and we are happy to assist in any capacity.
Project Manager Role
We can come into an organization that does not have any Project Management resources and help them look at what projects they have, create a plan to get those completed, then act as their Project Manager to push them to completion.
Below are some ways we can help when it comes to Project Management
Map the plan
If you have multiple projects that need to be completed, we can walk through those with you to help plan the order of projects and decide which projects are inter-related.
Organize the workflow
When just beginning a project it’s important to organize the plan of “attack” and decide when meetings will be held, who will attend, who will make the agenda items, how training will work, etc.
Create agenda
We can prepare your project meeting agendas for you with timed sections and leaders assigned.
Monitor deadlines
We help your team by monitoring and reminding of future deadlines.
Action Log
We keep track of all those to do tasks on an action log in our Project Management software (or yours if you prefer) that your team can access.
To Do Lists
Out of any good meeting come “to do lists” and projects can have hundreds or thousands of tasks that need to be completed. When we are engaged for Meeting Documentation or Project Management, we document those items and create the to do list for your team.
Periodic Meetings
At the onset of a project, we work with your team to determine periodic meeting times which we can host using our web meeting software.
Documentation of Decisions Made
During the project we keep detailed records of decisions made and actions taken so that at the close of the project you will be left with a document that tells the story of the project.
Overall communication is the backbone of our projects and what leads to successful project completion and satisfied customers time and again.
Testimonial
Structured Inc. has been Wiser Strategies’ go-to resource for project management, administrative management and tech support for two years. I highly recommend their team, which is an unusual combination of organizational and technology experts.
It’s not easy to find professionals who can come into your business and efficiently outline your processes, develop systems to enable you to get and stay organized, and keep you on task within complex operations. In fact, I had tried several part-time assistants and they either weren’t able to manage the process or wanted me to adapt to their way of doing things. Not so with Structured Inc. They grasped what we wanted to accomplish, helped us get more efficient, and then became a part of our team to facilitate our monthly invoicing review meetings and execute our intricate billing process.
Structured Inc. also provides our technology support. They recommend new technology when needed, ensure we have firewalls to keep information and systems safe, and assess and resolve issues on an ongoing basis.
Thanks, Structured Inc., for being a partner in the growth of Wiser Strategies. Having you on our team has made a big difference and we appreciate the value you bring.
(Even after two years we are still amazed when we watch Lindsey’s efficiency during our meetings!!)
