Applications in »Time&Budget«
The biggest challenges for effective project management are numerous simultaneously running projects, rising complexity, inaccurate requirements, and incomplete objectives. Solutions must be quick and easy in their application, while being able to represent and manage various demands, disciplines, and aspects of highly complex project situations.
 
As a strategic and operational planning, controlling, and managing instrument, IME supports professional multi project management in a most comprehensive way – this already starts at the proposal phase to maintenance until end of life and across all relevant areas like definition of objectives, requirements to resource and communication management until quality and risk management and controlling. The primary objective of our methodology is to establish a solid and transparent basis for decisions, which enables optimal planning and secure execution even of the most complex IT applications. The key of our expertise lies in the reliable estimation of effort, time, resources and costs as well as defects, risk and documentation page count at any point in time in project.
 
This allows solutions to our customer’s questions:
  • What are the impacts of the current plans?
  • What staffing level for team is best?
  • How much resources are needed and when?
  • How to estimate incomplete/inaccurate requirements and change requests?
  • Which IT risk does the project have and what is their potential impact on costs?
  • Which and how many defects will occur during operations?
  • What are the values for project and maintenance costs over time?
  • How can complete transparency be established from project start until EOL (end of life)?
Complete transparency for optimal planning
Already in the proposal phase, our customers obtain complete transparency about all hard and soft facts as well as their impact on effort, schedule and costs. Through what-if-analyses and simulations of different scenarios, the effects of planning and decisions can be promptly recognized and optimally controlled. In addition with detailled plans this ensures optimal planning with minimal effort, time and demand-oriented staffing while having minimal costs, optimal quality and minimal risk. The result leads to a quick solution for conflict of goals and to a increased security in the planning process. Having knowledge about all relevant factors, an early and accurate identification of requirements and their characteristics for the efficient development and/or integration of IT of IT application is possible.
 
Precise traceability with simultaneously flexibilization
Reasonable results and ongoing monitoring of all activities and metrics for an exact traceability at any point in time ensures the successful realization of projects right from the start. High flexibility ensures despite rising complexity and continuously changing requirements/change requests and project situations the constant adjustment if basic condition change. Furthermore preventive risk and error management enable the development of solution-oriented risk mitigation and error prevention strategies. The gained transparency creates a basis for the efficient realization of all desired functions with high quality.
 
Significant shortening of estimation with enhancement of estimation accuracy
The systematic application of methodologies and standardized approaches ensures the initial and further estimation. The significant shortening of the estimation process in addition with baselines of estimates at any time allow for further substantial savings of time and resources. Thus, the application of our expertise provides optimal support for sustainable IT applications in »time&budget«.

Transparency about all relevant factors create security.
