Services - Project Management

Our experience in managing projects in the early stage of development can help those approaching this world for the first time to make the right decisions at the right time.  The work done up front in the development of a new technology/product determines the ultimate success of the effort because it is here that many decisions are made that later on cannot be changed without much cost or slip in schedule.

In addition to good project management practice, we combine our technology management as well as our technical expertise to enable the management, decision making and control process to consider all aspects of the project simultaneously.  Our ability to understand the intimate relationship between business and technical aspects of a project, and the conflicting objectives that they often have, enables us to offer a substantial benefit to our clients.

We apply proven management practices for planning, executing and tracking project and budget progress.  In addition, we apply advanced systems dynamics techniques where applicable to understand the dynamic nature of the organization and/or market in order to plan and test management policies and strategies before actually putting them into practice.  With these tools we are able to set up model of business systems as they apply to the client and evaluate the impact of making certain choices on the long term outcome of the project or company.  These tools can also be applied in the study and management of internal organizational processes and management strategies.

An example of the application of systems dynamics to business practice is detailed in “Evolving the Product Development Process,” by Marco Serra.  For a copy of the complete study, please email us at info@serra-engineering.com.
