Implementing systems projects under strict time and dollar constraints in a rapidly changing world has become increasingly difficult for most Information Systems (IS) organizations. Even with continuous advancement in computing technology, software development projects remain difficult to control and manage. With access to a growing array of technical resources, the important question is "Why do projects fail?" The answer, Web Navigation has found, has more to do with the effective use of the right resources, than just having access to those resources.

A successful approach to project management integrates a corporate business approach with a project management philosophy, as well as a set of tools, methods, and skills that result in successful project execution. Web Navigation has combined the leading project management philosophy in the country today with the rapidly changing needs of high technology clients to form an effective methodology for project management.

This ability to assimilate the best of class project management techniques into a leading edge software development architecture has given clients a way to deliver on the promise of imformation technologies within their companies.

Web Navigation's collective experience along with The Project Management Institute's 9 areas of project management knowledge represent a method for managing projects, the project environment, the people, and other resources critical to project success. The Principles of PM promote a spirit of teamwork among developers, business partners, management, and other members of the extended project team, and provide a process and a common language for all project team members.

The important benefit of Web Navigation's project management orientation is the delivery of complex technologically driven solutions on time and under budget. Other benefits include involving the right people, identifying risks and planning for them, a coherent Statement of Work, predictable acceptance criteria, system test planning, estimating and a strong management cost and control system.

Controlling the development of complex systems comes down to two issues. First, actually delivering what is promised and when it is promised is paramount. Secondly, managing changes and expectations along the way helps the client understand the progress. Web Navigation's Project Management Process provides both to the client during the life cycle of systems integration.
