Project Management

The success of Artezio projects is due to their organization. Quality Management is an integral part of the general project management process.

Project management includes the following categories:

Project Planning

Planning includes the estimation of the product and task characteristics, the definition of the resources required, the definition of the roles and responsibilities of the project participants, working out schedule, as well as identification and analysis of the potential risks. The following tasks are carried out in the process of planning in Artezio:

•    Estimation (the estimation of the project scope, products and characteristics of the tasks, the definition of the project life cycle, the estimation of efforts and cost).
• Project process definition (the tailoring of the defined standard project execution process, the selection of the project life cycle model, identification of appropriate procedures and standards).
• Project plan development (definition of budget and schedule, project risks identification, plan of the project data management, resource plan, and plan of training).
• Commitment to the plan (plan analysis by all the stakeholders, resource co-ordination, definition of the roles and distribution of the obligations of the participants).

Quantitative Project Management

The process of the Quantitative Management in Artezio includes the execution of the following tasks:

•   Quantitative project management (the definition of the project goals, the selection of the process elements for statistical control, project execution management).
• Statistical process control (the definition of metrics and methods of their analysis, application of the statistical methods, monitoring of the selected process elements, registration of the statistical management data).

Risk Management

The purpose of Risk Management in Artezio is to identify the potential problems before they become apparent, planning and carrying out of the appropriate actions to mitigate and/or prevent the negative consequences of such problems. Risk management includes not only technical problems but also external and internal risk sources concerned with the costs and schedule. Risk management process at Artezio includes the following tasks:

• Preparation for risk management (definition of risk sources and categories, risk parameters definition, working out of strategy of the risk management).
• Risk analysis and identification (risk identification, evaluation, categorization and prioritizing).
• Risk mitigation (working out of the plans for risk mitigation, execution of plans for risk mitigation).

The definition of the project goals in the field of quality and characteristics of the process is an integral part of the quantitative management in Artezio. 

Project Control and Monitoring

Control and Monitoring are important to receive impartial information about the project status. The project plan is the basis of all control and monitoring activities as we monitor progress and deliverables. In Artezio the following tasks are carried out in the process of monitoring and control:

• Monitoring the progress of the project against the plan (project risks monitoring, analysis of the process of the project execution, analysis of the fulfillment of the project stages).
• Corrective actions (problem analysis, assumption of the corrective actions, carrying out corrective actions).
