Project Management
At Pythian, we realize that an integral part of successful service delivery to our customers includes comprehensive project management. This translates into:
- Clearly defined roles and responsibilities for project team members and stakeholders;
- An organizational structure that identifies clear lines of authority, accountability and responsibility; and
- A set of flexible processes to deliver required project outcomes.
Pythian’s project management practice strives to ensure expectations are clear for all involved and takes a proactive approach to managing project cost, time and risk.
Benefits: Project Management
- Manage project risk through identification, mitigation and contingency planning;
- Leverage predictable and repeatable processes for continuous improvement and adoption of lessons learned;
- Identify project objectives and success criteria during project initiation, modify (as necessary) during project planning and monitor throughout the life of the project;
- Pythian’s project tools and templates are scalable and can be modified based on a project’s size and complexity;
- Pre-selected project communication mechanisms, such as formal project status reports, ad-hoc status emails and regular status meetings with the prime project manager to ensure projects are running efficiently and effectively. The type and frequency of communication are tailored to the needs of the customer and the nature of the project itself; and
- By adding project management to the team, Pythian’s technical resources can focus on core DBA activities, while project managers address coordination, scheduling and issue management activities.
