Project Manager - Large Complex Public Sector

We have developed a proven, tested methodology that has been successfully used and refined on many projects. We have found from experience that most consulting companies either have no methodology at all or have a methodology that is so pervasive and cumbersome that the methodology drives the project, rather than the methodology being used to successfully implement the project.

Companies that do not have a defined methodology tend to create systems whose progress is impossible to monitor and which are very hard to maintain since they are basically thrown together as quickly as possible.

Companies that emphasize an "all-encompassing" methodology seem to suffer from "analysis paralysis" where recording the requirements and having all i's dotted and T's crossed is more important than arriving at creative technical solutions to the business requirements. The methodology, therefore, becomes a straitjacket that confines the project rather than a technique to control the project.

Unlike these two extremes, our methodology is flexible in that it provides a set of guidelines that are conducive to completing a successful project. A RedMane project director picks and chooses the components from our methodology (based on the project type and complexity) which will guarantee the success of the project.
