IT Project Management

At any one time, Purely Computing is typically managing IT project and programme budgets in excess of £500,000 on behalf of our clients.

These projects are normally based around:

Technology Refresh projects, including upgrades for MS Windows and/or MS Office.
Relocation projects, ranging from a handful of staff moving internally to new head offices and/or data centre moves.
The implementation of new IT Infrastructure, including Standard Platform (our managed service offering), migrations to MS Exchange, Network Attached Storage, web hosted solutions and network upgrades.

Projects

Our Programme and Project Management team are all trained in our preferred methodology, Prince 2.

During the project, we expect our Project Managers to produce the following documentation (as a minimum):

Project Brief

This is a short document which is produced to ensure that we have a clear understanding of your requirement.

Project Implementation Document

This document expands upon the Project Brief and defines the project in a lot more detail.

Project Plans

Typically produced in MS Project, the details project plans allow the Project Manager to assess the progress of the project on a day-to-day basis.

Status Reports

These are typically produced weekly or fortnightly and show how the project is progressing against the Project Implementation Document.

Risk and Issue Logs

Used to identify and assess project risks and issues throughout the project lifecycle.

Test Plans

These are normally prepared by a technical resource and assessed against the acceptance criteria to ensure that the solution meets the original project objectives.

Project Closure Report

Prepared at the end of the project to verify that the acceptance criteria have been met and to identify any lessons learned during the project.
