PM/QA Training

We'll teach you to fish. A little process goes a long way towards an efficient operation. Cut down your dependency on a few key managers and expensive consultants. We'll train and empower your team with cutting edge Project Management and Testing Practices.

Problem Statement - More often than not a project fails or underperforms due to unrealistic goals, insufficient preparation, lack of identified procedures, or poor execution. Misdirection can occur at any time if proper project management is not present to oversee each stage of the project development, especially within the purview of Information Technology.

Most organizations lack the necessary resources to develop processes and templates themselves, and the individual expected to take on the role of Project Manager may have varying degrees of knowledge and experience in Project Management and Quality Assurance.

The Right Approach - A sound project management approach should first spell out the baseline requirements like quality acceptance, timeframe, management protocols, and vision definition, followed by a clear outline identifying possible approaches from which the best practice can be chosen. Each planned milestone, as set in the initial stage of project management, should be explicitly compared with the progress of actual delivery. Upon completion of project development, a stringent QA process should be imposed with no compromise. A project can only be considered successful if the above criteria are met within an organization's resource constraints.

Your staff should possess these basic project management skills and they should be armed with a practical set of tools and templates. Every team member, regardless of his or her role, needs to understand your standard testing and quality assurance process, allowing for timely correction of issues and disconnects.
