SERVICES: PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Business decisions guide the project …
Copas + Associates helps define and manage the work.

From specifying equipment and software to selecting vendors and service providers, from corporate divisional carve out or consolidations to supporting the new operations start-ups — Copas + Associates has core competencies in project management.

On I.T. projects, cheaper usually equates to better resource management, the right person doing the right task at the right time. Copas + Associates are uniquely qualified to provide a high quality, comprehensive analysis and project management services.

Some of our basic resource management principles are:

  • Complete high priority projects first
  • Assign resources based on skill
  • Start the project with all resources in place
  • Finish more by working on fewer items
  • Deliver frequently
  • Do the right task right
  • Monitor resources; measure results

There are no silver bullets. There is no easy route. Copas + Associates focus on recognizing and rewarding accomplishment, not effort. We strive to understand your objectives, operations and vision as we work objectively to create a superior long-term solution. We are objective. We do not sell equipment, software, or outsourcing services.

Some critical success factors we employ to ensure successful projects:

  • Upfront communication and planning
  • Clear identification of roles and responsibilities
  • Single point of responsibility
  • An insistence that business leads the project.

Finally, Copas + Associates ensures success with executive buy-in. Time after time, the success of any project management initiative is shown to be directly linked to the degree of executive buy-in.
