Project Planning / Management

Every project begins with the initial Project Planning Phase. The first step is to gain an in-depth understanding of the scope and overall direction of the program of work as perceived by the Client.

The next step is to nominate the Project Team, identifying the resources on both sides that will be involved in the Project, and defining the lines of communication and the working relationship between ExchangeWise and your personnel.

We then arrange consultations with the key Client Project Team members. We recommend that the Project Leader, the Senior Management Coordinator, and the MX-Contact Specialists all be involved, as well as any other individuals that you feel are necessary.

The initial objectives are to:

Agree on the specific objectives to be attained through the project
Develop plans and schedules
Allocate resources and define responsibilities

Following these initial consultations, ExchangeWise is in a position to develop a Project Plan. This plan includes the milestones, the actions, and the responsibilities to be attained by personnel of both organisations.

We will allocate personnel resources, and schedule and initiate tasks required for requirements definition, customisation, external system integration, data conversion, system installation, and training.

The timeframe for project meetings (where applicable), interviews with key managers and project personnel, and availability of key platform hardware and project data is especially critical in order to ensure that all phases of the project can be accomplished by the scheduled project completion date.
