Establishing the most effective project management is crucial. That is the reason why we take utmost care in assigning a project manager to a project. In some cases, the project manager is local to the client and works closely with the client liaison(s) throughout the project lifecycle. In others, we assign a project manager in our offshore office to correspond with the project manager from the client side.
The very first task of the project manager is to develop a comprehensive Project Management Plan (PMP) that establishes the following:
Process Customization - Any deviation or tailoring from ISHIR's standard Global Delivery Process and the reasons for such a deviation (budget, time pressure, etc.)
Communication Plan - How will the team communicate across geographic locations, daily and weekly status reporting mechanisms, use of instant messaging, email, video conferencing, web conferencing, telephone and other communications tools.
Roles and Responsibilities - Who does what on the project team; reporting and escalation mechanisms.
Project Audit Plan - How will the project checkpoints be audited to ensure that they have been followed consistently.
