PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Managing a project often requires very specific technical as well as organizational skills. Project management's main challenges are:
ensuring that a project is delivered within the defined constraints (ie. time, budget, quality
optimizing the allocation of resources
the integration of the different inputs to meet pre-defined objectives
adapting to a constantly changing landscape of IT and business influences
A project manager works with many different resources and constraints: people, policies, regulations, quality standards, information systems, budgets, risks, schedules, etc. Effective execution of the project manager's tasks is crucial to the success of a project; that is why Cambridge trains its project managers within the world-class Project Management Institute (PMI®) framework, and many are already PMP® (Project Management Professional) certified. A Cambridge PMP-certified project manager is guaranteed to have a solid foundation in the six principal project management domains: project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, closing, and professional and social responsibility.
A highly qualified project manager from Cambridge is the assurance that your project will be efficiently organized and that your resources, or those from external companies, are properly managed to deliver on each requirement and to complete the project within the pre-defined timeframe and budget, whilst meeting the strictest quality standards.
BUSINESS ANALYSIS
Business analysis helps companies improve their organizational structure in order to reduce overall costs and to provide more effective use of scarce resources. The primary role of our Business Analysts is to define and scope the business as a whole, and plot its strategic direction. When engaging Cambridge for a project, its team of Business Analysts will first help you capture, qualify, and quantify the functional requirements. Further to that, they will lead you through the identification of initiatives that will enable your business to meet your strategic goals.
The Business Analyst will plan and execute the requirements development processes and help you clarify and prioritize them for implementation. During this independent initiative, they will document the process and outcome, and provide a clear and concise roadmap that will enable a project team to successfully implement the required solutions.
Cambridge Business Analysts will communicate the requirements and describe the techniques that will allow each stakeholder to have an understanding of each requirement and how it will be implemented.
Together with the technical project teams, the Cambridge Business Analyst works to make the perfect recommendations for the solutions to be implemented. The Business Analyst is not only responsible for assessing whether the selected solution fits the strategic goal of customers, but also to determine how to support the implementation of the solution.
