"When we considered the importance of the project, we realized we needed a resource that specialized in the solution as well as one who could dedicate more time to the project."
The Challenge
In today's dynamic business environment, many institutions often find themselves perpetually in multiple, active projects. Resources move from one project to the next, attempting to complete the task on time and within budget. Some institutions have even created Project Management departments as a resource pool for the institutions many projects.
In either environment, the resources assigned to the project typically have little to no specific experience or expertise with the solution being implemented. The resources simply apply standard project management methods to the project and are expected to "learn as you go". This type of approach lends to itself to project delays and change requests that increase the time and cost of the overall project.
