Fusion5 offers highly skilled and experienced project managers, all of whom have extensive track records of proven delivery both in public and private sector organisations.

Our project managers have experience in the delivery of large-scale application software projects, custom development projects, change management projects, as well as more traditional project and programme management engagements.

Programme Management

Fusion5's Programme Management services include the coordination of diverse projects that address common business issues or procedures. It involves the process through which a series of projects are coordinated, controlled, managed and offers methods in which communication occurs and knowledge is distributed across these multiple projects.

Typically programme management is applied in projects that are large scale, require large investments and have many interdependencies; often a major business transformation exercise is being performed in parallel.

Benefits of Fusion5's Programme Management include:

• Create a framework for project execution
• Provide methodology, tools, techniques and knowledge assistance to project teams
• Ensure integration and coordination between projects
• Effectively deploy organisation resources
• Allow project managers to lead and focus on issue resolution
• Focus project teams on deliverable production
• Reduce project cycle time
• Mitigate project risk
• Timebox implementations.

Fusion5 can assist organisations to develop a roadmap of projects over a two to three year timeframe, identify the dependencies between the projects and align programmes to business outcomes. Fusion5 project and programme managers can also assist organisations to undertake initial sizing (resource and cost) estimates.

Project Management

Project Management involves the management of a set of related activities which, when completed, will achieve a specific objective. It supports the process by which a project is initiated, controlled and brought to successful conclusion for our customer.

• Planning and estimating
• Project structure
• Change management
• Project infrastructure
• Quality management
• Risk management
• Monitoring and reporting
• Issue management
• Change control
• Budget control

Fusion5 is able to deploy our own proven project management method, FOCUS. FOCUS provides rigor and structure for the implementation of projects. It is based on iterative development principles, with the intent of speeding up project delivery whilst managing implementation risk.

The Fusion5 FOCUS method comes with a set of project management templates to fast track the initiation stage of the project.

In addition, Fusion5 can align projects to PMI or PRINCE2 methods. We are experienced in both traditional “waterfall” and “iterative” software development and project management approaches.
