Project Management

Managing your projects efficiently and cost-effectively.

Researching possible software solutions to increase work efficiency

Businesses are becoming increasingly reliant on Information Systems. When we think of IT best practices, we tend to think of software development; the processes behind creating, testing, and implementing an app or system, business intelligence etc. But that’s only part of the picture. There’s a lot more to business analysis and project management than just information systems. Workflow – this refers to the process of how a business moves from A to B, such as handling customer service requests, or the process of how a product moves from design to market and eventually to support. Planning – a business needs to make sure they have all the necessary resources, such as workforce. At AM Cross Country we can manage the system strategy conversion for you, to enable your full time employees to focus on what they do best, serve your clients.

Company policies and workflows

Company policies are set in place to establish the rules of conduct within an organization, outlining the responsibilities of both employees and employers. The management of company policy and procedures aim to protect the rights of workers as well as the business interests of employers. Putting Your Workflow on autopilot and let automations do the manual labor for you. Hit The Ground Running by automating your workflow.

Estimating costs and time requirements of projects

Project cost estimating is a process that can be broken down into five steps:

Compile a list of tasks and the resources required to complete them
Identify and allocate resources to tasks based on your team’s capacity
Estimate the task length to create a project schedule (with some buffer)
Calculate the project cost based on a chosen estimation method
Use project cost estimating tools to track budgets in real time

We use Gantts model to do this for you.

Evaluating risks and predicting potential problem

A risk prediction model is a mathematical equation that uses risk factor data to estimate the probability of an outcome. Risk prediction models are widely studied and mostly developed using logic regression. There are different models available and applicable to specific circumstances.

Developing quality assurance practices and assessments

The Quality Assurance (QA) approach to addressing quality of care issues incorporates three core quality assurance functions: defining quality, measuring quality, and improving quality (QAP/URC, 2001a.) The QA triangle effectively illustrates the synergy between these three QA functions.

Establishing deliverables

When projects are time sensitive and cost increases when timelines are not adhered to, it could possibly damage your business’ image and negatively impact on your profitability. We, here at AM Cross Country Consulting, are well equipped to set up Gantt charts to plan your projects in cooperation with your personnel and manage deliverables for your company. We can report back on deliverables to give you peace of mind that all is on track.

Acting as a liaison between the business and its Information Technology (IT) department or clients

So you are looking to expand your business, or design a new product line, but the existing business is keeping you too busy. Let us be your link between your existing business and service providers, supply chain and/or clients so that you can be less overworked and more creative.

Evaluating Key Performance Indicators

Measuring performance while projects are being executed, is both important and time consuming. Setting KPI’s for employees will not only help you manage the project efficiency, but also gives you a tool to manage your employee’s performances. KPI’s can also be used to measure performances of service providers, supply chain and systems. We can formulate those performance indicators for you, measure and evaluate them and document the results.

Modifying the business plan

It is important that a business plan be converted into a strategic plan when the business starts operating. Keep it up to date with ever changing technology and business practices, and new innovations. The purpose of a business plan is not only to start a business, but also to expand and grow your business to ensure you have a competitive advantage.

Facilitating meetings and educational workshops for team members

It is not the innovative idea or the finance of the idea that makes it a great one, it is the team. While it takes an entrepreneur to fabricate an innovative idea, and a financier to finance it, the team can make or break the project. Therefore we can facilitate and minute meetings with your team, structured and sensible, to have their ideas and monitor their progress and challenges. We can facilitate team building or individual sessions.
