Careful development of a comprehensive project plan that incorporates sufficient time and flexibility to anticipate and deal with unforeseen
difficulties as they arise -
An appropriate commitment of time and attention on the part of those
outside the IT department who have requested the project, combined with
a willingness to see it through to the end - Candid, accurate reporting of the status of the project and of potential difficulties as they arise
-
A critical assessment of the risks inherent in the project, any
potential harm associated with those risks, and the ability of the
project team to manage those risks - The development of appropriate contingency plans that can be employed should the project run into problems
-
An objective assessment of the ability and willingness of the
organization to stay the project course Bearing in mind all these
factors and using our experince and knowledge we will do our best to
ensure that the system implementation is success and fully meets the
