Project Management

Systo has trained and experienced project managers for hire. If you don't want us to deliver a complete solution to you, but have your own resources, we can just provide project management services for you.
In a software development or implementation project, a project manager typically performs the following duties:

• Creates a project plan
  A detailed project plan will be created using Microsoft Project.
  
  
• Manages the requirements definition phase and creates a requirements document
  In larger projects, a business analyst will take on the facilitation of meetings and the writing of the document.
  
  
• Designs the system or solution
  In larger projects, a solution architect will take on the design process and the writing of the solution design document.
  
  
• Manages the development process
  This task includes the assigment of software engineers to individual tasks and the sign-off on work products. In larger projects where an architect is available, this architect is responsible for the development process.
  
  
• Change management
  The project manager will manage requirements changes and the resulting impact on the schedule and the budget. Typical response actions are budget increase, schedule increase or dropping requirements.
  
  
• Target/actual comparison
  The project manager will monitor the project's actual progress and compare it with the plan. If there is a variance, he will take action to correct it.
  
  
• Status reporting
  The project manager will formally report the project's progress to the client on a weekly basis, along with any issues that must be addressed.

• Project Plan
