Project/Program Management
- Project/Program Management: aka Project/Program Planning & Controls (PP&C)
- Our PP&C capabilities are based on the principles set forth in the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide and the Dept. of Defense's Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) for all aspects of PP&C.
- We utilize our approach covering the full project lifecycle, from defining business or mission requirements through the implementation of PMO best practices, tools, and training to post-production support.
- Our PMP-certified Project Managers average 7 to 15 years of technical experience managing large and small projects and programs.
- Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) Development, Sustainment & Analysis – Keeping your projects on time and on budget by looking ahead and predicting and avoiding costly mistakes and bumps in the road.
- Cost/Finance & Budget Analysis – Proactively monitor all aspects of your project’s budget for rapid identification and resolution of cost variances.
- Contract Management and Coordination - Increase efficiencies and ensure complete contract compliance through close coordination with the CO, COTR, and all project teams. Gant Global identifies critical terms and conditions within the contract, integrating them into the project plan, and working with all parties to manage contract deliverables.
Risk Mitigation & Management (RMM)
- Strategic forward-leaning risk reduction planning and methods increase probabilities of success and long-term business and mission continuity.
- GSS suggests program and project stakeholders must view risk mitigation and management (RMM) as either contingency pre-planning now or crisis management later - whether or not investing today's dollars is less expensive than tomorrow's.
- Organizations Have Insurance Policies. Why Not RMM Playbooks? Gant Global professionals deliver the expertise to prepare, protect and defend our client's from the unavoidable and unexpected risks arising from changes and conditions. Our methodical approach decomposes not only the program or project itself but the risks associate with the enterprise's level's infrastructure, culture, processes, and internal systems.
- Scalable RMM: We help organizations capture and integrate RMM with other internal functions and departments, and along with suppliers, vendors, and customers.
- We take a proactive position to diminish threats, develop alternative execution paths while identifying cost, schedule, technical and other opportunities.
- We consider every aspect of PP&C Risks -- from the seemingly benign yellow flags to major red flags -- the things that will interfere with program/project execution and success.
- GGS designs RMM plans and steps well in advance, instead of dealing with risks on an emergency basis. GGS's RMM Playbook is in place with well-planned and coordinated enterprise and project defense mechanisms that are ready at a moment's notice.
Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS)
- EVMS is the best barometer of current and future program/project cost and schedule performance.
- Earned Value is the most comprehensive trend analysis technique available for managing programs and projects. By using trend data EVM techniques are proven to successfully forecast cost or schedule overruns in the early stages of an endeavor. Because of EVM's repeatable processes, it is not uncommon for managers and executive-level directors to gain project performance insights 30, 60, 90, 120 days or more into the future.
- Gant Global Services helps clients understand, implement, and support earned value management systems (EVMS), methods, processes, and tools.
- Our experts aid clients implement and support full-rigor, 32 criteria ANSI/EIA-748 compliant EVMS initiatives on multi-billion dollar government DoD programs to less rigorous projects - EVMS-Lite.
- Either full-up or scaled EVM processes, our clients gain specific insights as to cost, schedule, risk, and deployment performance on programs and projects.
- Clients gain invaluable insights to what they need to do next and when, how to avoid cost and schedule risks, and ultimately - manage profitability.
- Our integrated approach focuses on optimizing the performance of people, structures, processes, and tools - all of which are essential to program and project execution success.
- We help clients identify and hone PP&C / EVMS strengths, and improve on the weaker ones.
- Gant Global focuses on building greater organizational skills communications and PP&C / EVMS maturity.
