Project Management

What We Do:

WCTS follows the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) as the Standard for Project Management. Our certified Project Managers tailor standardized processes for each project.

WCTS uses an Integrated Program Management Office (PMO) approach to ensure basic Project Management Institute (PMI) standards are adhered to. We establish PMO functions such as Finance, Human Resources, Contracts, Logistics, Security, Risk Management, and Quality Assurance. We staff the PMO with Subject Matter Experts (SME) and other professionals with certifications in Project Management, Knowledge Management, and Lean Six Sigma. In lieu of an oversight function, the PMO serves as an enabler to our PMs and their teams.

How We Do It:

We use a predictive approach when the scope and requirements are easy to define and well understood. Our experience in similar projects can save resources.

We use an adaptive (Agile) approach when requirements are complex or expected to evolve. An iterative approach seeks stakeholder acceptance before advancing to the next phase.

We designed an Earned Value “LIKE” approach to our management team’s analysis and variance reporting and mitigation decisions; it highlights an approach to organizing, planning, budgeting, accounting, analyzing, reporting, revising, and maintaining a complete operational picture of all on-going tasks. We develop program metrics that are simple and traceable to real data.
