Thinkwrap Project Management
Traditional measures of project success are deliverable focused - driven by time, cost and specification constraints. Our team at Thinknostic understands the importance of rigorous planning, tracking, controls and reporting but we also believe that a project is not a true success unless the expected business outcomes are obtained. Thinknostic expands the legacy view of project management to address the fact that business needs and drivers evolve during the life of a project and the successful delivery of project-related business benefit is what really counts.
Project management methods normally focus on locking the scope for a project and negotiating for variances to budget and delivery dates. Quality is often defined as delivering the scope that was promised, fully functional, on or before the delivery date. Our belief at Thinknostic is that producing the wrong system is a professional failure even if delivered on time and on budget. Our approach is distinguished in that it allows our clients to focus on the critical business activities and evolving conditions necessary to obtain the required outcome - while our job is to keep pace and deliver the expected benefit.
Thinknostic has developed the Thinkwrap PM methodology to assist organizations in realizing expected benefits from their business and technology investments. Thinkwrap helps define the full range of changes required for success affecting technology, organizational structures, culture, people or business processes. Our method ensures that the project business case and expected benefit are completely understood by our project team and is employed to shape project strategy as well as day-to-day decision making. Progress is measured by focusing on the effectiveness of the resulting system rather than just those deliverables that have been completed.
Thinkwrap allows our project managers to tailor our baseline methodology commensurate with the size and complexity of the project. This flexible approach ensures consistent and successful projects with optimized business benefits. Above and beyond Thinkwrap, our project managers bring capability, experience and understanding to address customer challenges of all size and complexity.
