Project Management
Project identified but no means of delivery? In-house teams not experienced in project management techniques? Chronic resource dilemma - been using day-job workers to deliver your projects only to find they never get completed satisfactorily? If this sounds familiar then you are in good company. Many organisations suffer paralysis with projects simply because they lack the project mentality or culture, and hence the skills necessary to organise, manage and deliver.
Project management is not a black art - it is at its very basic level simply common sense and sound organisational and administrative practices - but many organisations cannot cope with this burden on top of their normally well structured business-as-usual activities. Carefully defined management structures may not be adaptable or experienced enough to work in a project or matrix fashion, with devolved reporting lines.
South Barn Solutions can help you bring order to your project management needs using well tried and tested techniques using the Prince2™ processes, or based on the APM (Association for Project Management) methods. This could encompass complementary activities such as initial training for project and non-project teams, documentation systems, senior management induction, as well of course as actual management responsibility of projects.
If you already have such systems in place but need additional resources South Barn Solutions will happily fit into your existing project structure.
Programme Management
This covers the area of medium to large scale programmes containing multiple interfaced projects. South Barn Solutions can help you set up and run programme offices, as well as running the programmes themselves.
