QSM helps illuminate the true feasibility of your project.
Designed For: Directors and delivery managers responsible for application development projects.
Are you tired of finding yourself committed to unrealistic schedules? Are you struggling to adapt to changing project requirements mid-stream? Do you frequently end up on the losing side of your negotiations with business stakeholders?
QSM is here to help by providing an independent, quantitative assessment of your project.
Based entirely on real, historical data, our single- or multi-release estimates can quickly determine the technical feasibility, schedule and cost realism, and product reliability of any proposal.
Best of all, we’ll explore and present practical alternatives that can get you to market sooner, lower your costs, and place you in the negotiation driver’s seat.
We'll identify the right technologies, system components, and development tools, and then develop a robust, flexible modeling strategy that supports your decision-making.
We'll work with your project managers to gather requirements and scope information, develop productivity assumptions, and identify programmatic constraints on cost, schedule and reliability.
We'll build our scenarios to include schedule release plans, staffing and skills resource plans, cash flow and cumulative cost plans, and the probability profiles for achieving your goals. We’ll also build multiple scenarios—for bigger cost savings and faster speed to market.
Both developers and business stakeholders will have a realistic appreciation of the requirements—leading to a better understanding of feasibility.
We'll help find the development scenario that provides the best value from a cost, schedule and risk perspective. This will help you save money and get to market as quickly as possible.
Our objective analyses—supported with historic data—will put you in a position to negotiate win-win project outcomes with business stakeholders.
It doesn't have to take days or weeks of effort to generate alternative plans. We'll do it in hours—giving decision makers practical alternatives that result in better project plans.
We offer a variety of industrial-strength solutions to meet all needs and budget requirements, including complete solutions, “lite” versions, and incremental build-outs.
We typically recommend a staged implementation, as it enables a client to realize significant value while getting to know our process. We also suggest working with us on a single project, to start. You’ll get a good feel for QSM consulting, its benefits, and its suitability for your organization.
Please contact our solution design consultants at 800 424-6755 to discuss your individual needs and constraints.
