Project management

Formal project management has been demonstrated to significantly improve the delivery of major change programmes and their constituent projects. This:

• delivers to time and budget.
• increases the credibility of the project, and of the Senior Responsible Owner.
• demonstrates conformance with government policy.
• ensures users are involved at the appropriate time and that they see the project as a success.

The AMTEC service offering in Project Management is a practical and pragmatic adaptation of the PRINCE project management methodology. Since projects are unique undertakings, they involve a degree of uncertainty. AMTEC recommends that a project is divided up into several phases to provide better management and control, as well as appropriate links to the ongoing operations of the business itself. Collectively, these project phases are known as the project lifecycle.
