project management

Project Management is one of MCIS’s core competencies and we have been providing this service to clients in the electrical and microwave communication sectors for over 25 years.

During this time, MCIS has fulfilled a variety of project management roles for a number of clients. In all of these assignments, MCIS has successfully delivered a quality product on-time and on-budget. Clients not only benefit from our project management expertise but also from our in-depth knowledge of the wireless sector.

From our experience in project deployment and client support, and from our knowledge of industry best practices, we encourage our clients to invest time and resource at the early stages of any project to ensure that a mutually understood structure is in place, the key components of which are:

    Business Case – the reasons for the project and the justification for undertaking the project, based on the estimated costs, the risks and the expected business benefits;

    Organization – a team structure that supports; roles for decision makers, management by exception and delegation;

    Communication – defining the lines and methods of communication between the project management team members;

    Planning – describing how, when and by whom a target or set of targets is to be achieved;

    Controls – ensuring that the next level up in the project management team can; monitor progress, compare achievement with the plan and detect problems;

    Risk Management – having access to up-to-date information about risk and having a process in place to analyze, evaluate, deal with and monitor risks;

    Quality Management – having a process in place to ensure that deliverables produced by the project are a fit for the purpose;

    Change Management – having a process in place to capture, prioritize, analyze and authorize change.

Establishing these components from the outset and revisiting them throughout the project lifecycle is fundamental to our project management approach and helps ensure the successful delivery of projects for our clients.
