Certified, Experienced Project Managers
Darby Consulting provides experienced project managers with at least 10 years of experience and PMP or CAPM certifications from the Project Management Institute or equivalent degrees. We also utilize predictive analytics and data science to help match the best IT Project Managers to the unique needs of your project.
Project Management Methodology
While it is technically feasible to implement most technologies within a few short weeks, it is often the people side of the system integration that can take much longer to change than the technology itself. A balanced framework focused on both stakeholders and technology is recommended. Our project management methodology is customized to every client and project consists of five project phases to achieve a balanced approach to implementation between stakeholder needs and technology.
We Track Our Progress to Deliver Better Results
We provide complimentary use of our cloud-based Project Performance Tracking & Reporting System to help keep our clients and consultants connected in real-time so everyone knows where we stand. Use it to document and track requirements, identify issues & risks and monitor the completion of tasks.
