Methodology

Leading technology, skilled professionals, and flawless execution are essential components for creating effective web-based solutions. Equally important are the thorough planning and careful oversight that bring web development projects together.

Plante & Moran provides management of complex projects through a systematic approach based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), a set of principles developed by the Project Management Institute. Through this proven methodology, we deliver solutions that are completed on time and within budget and scope. Elements of our project management methodology include:

• Ensuring project expectations and scope are clearly defined up front.
• Open and frequent communication with clients.
• Identifying and anticipating potential project risks in order to minimize their occurrence and impact.
• Assigning only experienced personnel to projects.
• Closely monitoring project timelines and budgets.

Our Web Development Team receives comprehensive project management training and, in turn, conducts similar seminars and training programs for our clients. To complement these efforts, we've developed an extensive toolbox of project management templates, strategies, and lessons learned for managing projects. In fact, our clients now use many of these tools to manage their internal efforts.

Paired with the Web Development Team’s ingenuity and hands-on experience, our methodology serves as the foundation on which we build high-quality solutions that provide the highest levels of client satisfaction.
