Project Management

Synergic UK Ltd have standardised our approach to completing project work by engaging with customers in accordance with the guide lines laid down in the PRINCE2 Project Management methodology.

This approach is well established within Synergic UK and has been used to successfully deliver IT projects large and small for over fifty years, which is a summation of the time the directors and senior staff have been working in the IT Industry. The clear identification of all project deliverables and communication of responsibility for delivery for both the customer and for Synergic is central to our methodology. We believe this methodology provides a high degree of flexibility in managing both pure consultancy exercises and complex technical implementations.

Synergic also believes that flexibility is the key to success. No two clients have exactly the same requirements and by providing a range of services that can be tailored and adapted to meet these needs we can provide our clients with a solution that suits them.

PRINCE2 methodology is applied to all projects undertaken by Synergic. The degree to which it is utilised varies with the size and scope of each project. This enables us to provide the optimum balance between the need to minimise risk and provide control and accountability on the one hand; and the need to ensure that project costs do not unnecessarily increase due to over-application of a particular methodology on the other hand.

This method divides projects into manageable stages enabling efficient control of resources and regular progress monitoring through the project. The various roles and responsibilities for managing the project are adapted to suite the size and complexity of the project undertaken.

Project Accreditation

Synergic project managers are technically skilled, having come from a technical consultancy background. This enables them to have a detailed understanding of the technical challenges involved with designed and implementing complex IT solutions

All project managers are expected to gain PRINCE2 Accredited Practitioner status in professional project management and will have already achieved this, or are currently working towards this accreditation with support from Synergic.

The Nominated Account Manager

Synergic will provide a nominated account manager, who will be the project manager and focal point of contact for any project, they will be responsible to our customer for any projects life cycle. This persons role is one of organisation and control, forming the hub of the project, this person is responsible for the project as a whole, for the project progress and ensuring that works are completed correctly, on time and within project brief and budget.

Controlling Change

Controlling change within a project as it grows and develops ensures that the end result remains within the original project brief. It ensures that changes are carefully managed and that risk assessment is carried out on an ongoing basis.

The benefits of a structured project approach
