PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Gatt Consulting Ltd uses timely and value-for-money methods for managing projects. A project is a planned undertaking of a set of linked tasks and activities aimed at delivering a particular goal or objective. A project has a definite beginning and ending and requires skillful management of human, financial and material resources to achieve success. The features that differentiate projects from on-going operation are that:

  • the work is one-off
  • the organisation or management processes are specific to the project
  • the objectives are achieved at the completion of the project

Gatt Consulting Ltd provides project management that ensures:

  • Clarity about the objectives, outputs and outcomes of the project
  • Key tasks, timeframes and deliverables are identified, planned, linked and managed
  • Clarity about roles, responsibilities and accountabilities
  • Good facilitation (and using in-house reference groups to build in-house capability)
  • Understanding of resource and other constraints and risks, with strategies to manage these  
  • Good relationship building and communication
