What is Project Rescue

Project Rescue  is a service designed for business who have commissioned IT software development, or IT integration projects – but feel that the project is either already running, or is about to run over budget, past its completion deadline.

What do we do

A typical example is looking at 4 major areas of your project:

1. Project Goal: We need to analyse what your business goals are with your project – without knowing this we can’t identify how your project is going about achieving your business goals. We don’t dwell much on the past – as the past is irrelevant if we get involved in understanding what went on in the past then you’ll never move forward – it’s about moving the project on.
2. Relationships: The relationships between your internal staff, and also the relationships between your company and any external contractors.
   Relationships are key – if there is ill feeling within a working environment, or between companies – it needs to be tackled effectively, otherwise these relationships ultimately fail.
3. Project execution: We look at the basics , such as whether you are you having too many, or too few meetings, and whether the relevant people are included in the right meetings – communication is key
4. Project Implementation: We’re not experts on everything – but we’re analytical and business driven we look at supplier contracts, licencing arrangements, whether you should buy in key technology components rather than building these components. We also look at staffing issues, such as whether you have the right skills in house to acheive your project.

What do you get out of it

We identify solutions to the issues your project is facing. We put together a Project Rescue action pack which contains hard hitting advice, recommendations and guidelines for you to digest. Under further instruction we then execute that action pack through empowering your existing project managers, and project stakeholders to get back on track with managing the project as a whole.

It is not an excersise in finger pointing,  but stakeholders need to take responsibility in order to get projects back on track.

Depending on the level of consultancy we can make recommendations for changes all the way down the command chain, even up to the way your programmers are working.

We do not hold back – our advice is hard hitting, we understand that you need your project to work.
