Supervisory System Implementation Services
All SQL Power Group Inc. team members follow the Project Management principles based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) from the Project Management Institute (PMI). Our project managers are certified Project Management Professionals (PMP) in good standing. SQL Power Group Inc. manages implementation of projects using the methods outlined below.
Project Integration Management
SQL Power develops a project charter as part of the contract process to outline the scope and deliverables for the project. The scope and deliverables specified in the project charter is based on requirements and changes that occur during contract negotiation with our clients. SQL Power Group Inc. develops a project plan detailing work items, resources and deliverable dates for each implementation.
Communications Management
SQL Power Group prepares weekly status reports and conducts regular status meetings at a mutually agreed upon interval (typically weekly or bi-weekly) throughout the life of the project to ensure that our clients are informed of the project progress, issues, change requests and risks.
Scope Management
Scope is based on the definition defined in the project charter and is further detailed in the various requirements documentation. Variations from the scope is handled using typical technical-side change management procedures through a change request process. Change requests may require a change in cost or timeline if approved. Change requests are tracked in a change request log which will be reviewed at each project status meeting.
Time Management
SQL Power Group Inc. monitors progress against the project plan to ensure timely implementation of all items. Any potential delays will be identified in the weekly status report in order to ensure they can be mitigated if possible. Changes to timeline requires an approved change request.
Cost Management
All prices quoted are fixed price. Any changes in price requires an approved change request.
Risk Management
