Approach

At the core of the methodology is the principle that the project manager works for the project to ensure its success. In order to prevent any negative impact to the budget or delivery timescales its vital that the PM identifies and communicates the implications of change requests. With clear communication the project boundaries can be monitored and re-scoped if necessary.

As it is in the interest of all key stake holders for the project to succeed, its vital that the overall aims and objectives are clearly defined early on. During an initial consultation the ideas and objectives and any functions that are critical to quality can be addressed. Down to Earth explanations will be given for the different internet technologies and the possible solutions they offer.

The proposed solution can then be designed, and upon approval, planned and implemented. Great care is taken during the final stages of the project to ensure that each element is thoroughly tested and measured against the original criteria. If required a quality assurance program can also be implemented.

The Benefits

Every company by now understands the importance of having an effective web campaign. What is not so clear though is how much of a difference the delivery method and structure can make to the overall results. Having a website that never gets clicked on because SEO was never planned into the build is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Having your website delivered too late for your marketing campaign because of a lack of clear understanding of the scale of the project or simply lack of resources, simply cant happen.

Below is an outline of some of the more significant benefits of using an internet project manager;
