Project methodology
Highlights of 1stGMC's methodology for enterprise IT projects are:
The Envisioning Phase: Requirements Definition The envisioning phase focuses on achieving a shared understanding of a project's goals.
1stGMC works with enterprise clients to develop a clear vision of a project's technical and business objectives, and 1stGMC will help define how an IT project will deliver business value.
This phase establishes the project's structure, develops pilot plans and testing strategies, and addresses deployment implications, operations management and supportability, and operational acceptance criteria.
The Planning Phase: design and Architecture Proposals During the planning phase most of the planning for an enterprise IT project is completed.
1stGMC helps create the functional specification, the master project plan including milestones, and the risk management plan.
1stGMC also analyzes documentation and training requirements and finalizes work plans, cost estimates, and schedules for the various deliverables.
Because major projects are iterative and require flexibility, 1stGMC follows a formal change control process that allows projects to evolve successfully while staying within budgetary guidelines.
The developing phase: Pilots In the developing phase, 1stGMC's extensive experience setting up pilot systems makes it possible to reduce engineering risk and business disruption by thoroughly testing new infrastructure prior to deployment. 1stGMC has world-class skill in setting up proof-of-concept tests for enterprise deployments of key technologies.
The stabilizing phase: design Tuning The stabilizing phase is an iterative process that involves tweaking IT infrastructure based on the results of pilot testing and feedback from the clients and users.
Testing during this phase emphasizes functionality, performance and stability under realistic environmental conditions.
1stGMC's experience with this process can help eliminate business disruption when the project leaves the testing phase and becomes integrated into the production environment.
The Deploying Phase: Implementation During the deploying phase, 1stGMC deploys the core technology and site components, stabilizes the deployment, transitions the project to operations and support, and obtains final customer approval of the project.
After the deployment, 1stGMC conducts a project review and a customer satisfaction survey.
