Services > Strategy > Program & Program Management

At Nexus, our project managers guide our clients through all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle.  Whether you are looking to design a custom enterprise application, implement a business intelligence strategy, or evaluate and select a software package, we leverage our own flexible standard processes to provide tailored, client-specific processes that are mapped to the business objectives and IT needs of the project.

During the project initiation phase, we look at key items such as development life cycle, defined deliverables, planning and tracking techniques, communication, issue resolution, and cost management. On large projects, we establish a Program Management Office (PMO) to centralize the scope, task management, and measurement of the project outcomes.

Through careful scope definition and well-defined business requirements, a comprehensive plan for success can be established. Often key tasks, constraints, and details are not accounted for, resulting in cost overruns, schedule slippage, and even project cancellation. 

Five major aspects of program management:

  1. Governance: Defining roles and responsibilities, and providing oversight
  2. Management: Planning and administering both projects and the overall program
  3. Financial management: Implementation of specific fiscal practices and controls
  4. Infrastructure:  The program office, technology, and other factors in the work environment supporting the program effort
  5. Planning: Activities that take place at multiple levels, with different goals. The program plan is not a traditional plan.

We will take a closer look at each of these aspects, contrast them with similar aspects of project management, and outline for each the effort and results required to achieve success.
