jhColeman helps companies frustrated by underperforming projects to improve future results through better management and controls.

Management

We plan complex projects. Using facilitated planning sessions, frontline support, and effective project controls, we develop:

Product plans including functional requirements; concept, architecture, and parts lists; and cost targets
Project plans including responsibility matrices; master and functional team schedules; and budgets and resource plans
Management plans including processes for planning, progress reporting, issue management, and change management; and project and product review guidelines

We manage projects to plans. While the responsibility for technical management remains with clients, we assure that work is coordinated, teams have required resources, issues and changes are resolved early, reports are completed, budgets are met, and products are delivered on time. Objectively.

We also help to re-plan and manage projects in jeopardy. Activity is quickly realigned with critical objectives without losing momentum. Teams are retooled and refocused. PROJECTS TOP

Controls

We implement custom controls that help teams create and maintain plans. Controls need to provide 1. a sensible balance of uniformity and flexibility, 2. a clear value proposition for companies and their teams, and 3. the best use of commercial software that works well within IT infrastructures.

We also provide turnkey control support. From plan development to project close-out, we provide and maintain all controls based on input from project teams using companies' internal tools, our own, or a mix. PROJECTS TOP
