Project Management

Is this you?

• You have a team of skilled programmers without a project manager.
• The requirements change faster than the team can react.
• Your team wastes time on unproductive tasks.
• Your project cost and duration are unpredictable.
• Your project manager doesn't know how to communicate to your development team.
• You don't have a detailed technical plan.

We can get your project back on track with minimal process overhead.

What is it?

The Jonah Group's Project Management Service provides your team with planning and leadership skills. Your developers are freed to do what they do best -- build software. Our project managers all started out as programmers, so they understand the intricacies of the development process.

We believe that it is inefficient to manage a software project if you don't understand the principles of programming. Our managers can achieve more productivity with your team because we all grew up through the software development ranks - we understand the software development process.

During the project, we create a project extranet that links all of the documents, change requests, defect reports, contact information and meeting minutes into a single source. Team members can quickly locate information and get on with their tasks. When the project is complete the extranet and all supporting information is archived onto a CD-ROM for reference.
