It's the start of the project. And everyone just wants to get stuck in. So start up consultancy is the kind of job that most people don't like doing, or don't have time to do. However, without a good start up plan we all know that there will be standing time and increased project costs.
This is what we do, and do well. QEM Solutions provide this service under a fixed sum contract where the deliverables are self-managed and tailored to your individual project requirements.
This allows you to get on with what you really need to do.
So what do we do?
-
Deliverables. Review your project contracts to identify final project deliverables.
-
Identify sub-deliverables to ensure all responsibilities are allocated.
-
Create a complete deliverables matrix to communicate project requirements to team and client.
