Our Strengths

We have many engineers with project management know-howcultivated through experience in development and large-scale project management, mainly in the financial sector, project management experience.
Rather than forcing a project to follow a certain theory of what it should be, we have the breadth to propose appropriate management methods based on an understanding of the client’s culture and the characteristics of the project.
We provide operational support for a safe and reliable system release, acting as a good advisor to the project manager to understand the project status, analyze, evaluate, and improve operations.

We can support project managers in the following kinds of situations:

  • There are plans for a large-scale system renovation project, but there have been past instances of failure.
  • Lack of experience with large projects.
  • It is a cross-departmental project, and there is a need to manage inter-departmental coordination to ensure smooth operations.
  • We want to take the lead in projects, and not be at the mercy of the vendor.
  • We want to establish a project secretariat to manage issues, progress, and quality.
  • We want to identify project risks at an early stage, consider countermeasures, and verify their appropriateness.
Why is a PMO needed?

Decisions in project management are made by the project manager, but as the size of the project grows, it becomes more difficult for a single person to manage.
An organization is needed to be the eyes, hands, and feet of the project manager, to support their decision-making and project management operations to facilitate the smooth progress of projects.

Project Management and Planning Support

01
Providing project planning assistance

Together with the PM, we formulate the plans necessary at the start of projects, such as identifying the developmental scope and requirements, studying and documenting schedules, structures and roles, and analyzing risks and planning countermeasures.

02
Examining management methods

We establish schemes and methods for reporting progress, issues, risks, quality, etc., and develop reporting templates and tools.

03
Providing project management assistance

We gather reports from each team, and compile them into a format to allow visualization of the entire project.
We also identify issues and risks based on the details of reports and strive to address them.

Development, Application and Promotion of Project Standards

01
Developing standards for management control

We define the management process and specify what needs to be done in each process.

02
Establishing standards for development

We define the processes for proceeding with development, the development methodology, and deliverables.

Project status analysis, evaluation and reporting

01
Define the steering committee

We define project milestones (the timing of evaluations) and define how to evaluate and judge the status of projects.
We define the details of each evaluation target according to the timing of the evaluation.

02
Regular analysis and evaluation of project statuses

We analyze and evaluate the status of projects to allow stakeholders to regularly monitor their progress, quality, costs, risks, etc., and compile this information in reports.

Optimization of Project Standards and Operational Details

Before executing projects, we prepare various management plans and management/report documents along with the project plans.
As projects are executed, the priority of project-specific issues and management targets also change.
So, a PDCA cycle is implemented to review and improve the management plans drafted during the planning process to make them more applicable to the actual conditions of projects.
