Project Management

Project Management

GreySky supports clients in a wide range of projects - from delivering broadband infrastructures to providing strategy advice. To support this wide range of activities, we have developed a project management approach allowing us to constantly learn and apply our understanding to each project during its development and delivery. The approach is based on best practice developed in the US military. The approach focuses on five elements:


  • Strategic review
  • Delivery requirements
  • Task review
  • Delivery
  • Delivery review


Strategic review


Top level agreement of the overall project aims. This informs all aspects of the project since our objectives are to support our clients in achieving their objectives.


Delivery requirements


The project is broken down into the work-packages required to deliver the overall strategic aims. This is undertaken in conjunction with the client to reinforce our understanding of the overall project objectives.


Task review


Each work-package is assigned to its appropriate manager. The work-package manager will then review the task - including:


  • Task - what is required
  • Purpose - the reason behind the task
  • Strategic intent - the overall objective
  • Success - what should be achieved


Delivery


The task review empowers each work-package manager to use their specific skills and expertise to deliver their task in support of the overall project objectives. It allows work-package managers to manage any variations effectively, while maintaining the overall objectives of the project during their delivery stage.


Delivery review


The completion of each work-package includes a delivery review. This allows the results of each work-package to be assessed against the overall project progress. Other work-packages can then be adjusted to ensure overall progress and project delivery.
