Project Management Approach:
Our approach for developing the deliverable reports is driven by an integrated methodology offering well-established project management, consulting services, technical delivery frameworks and methods. These methods provide the framework for managing the project team and helping to keep the project on track. IBM's project management methods address key management concerns and potential impacts to scope, schedule, and cost, and are designed to provide the identified deliverable Materials. The key processes in IBM’s project management methods are as follows:
- Scope management and change management
