Program Management

Over eighty-four percent of all technology related projects fail due to ineffective project management, lack of stakeholder buy-in, financial miscalculations, scope creeps and insufficient applied focus. One of the greatest challenges within any organization is managing through the transformation of their business brought about by the application of contemporary technologies. How your people adapt to these changes is one of the most critical elements of a successful project outcome.

RiVi ’s proven program management methodology and processes ensure that your projects will be successful by taking into account any nuances of changing business requirements, procurement practices, political environment and implementation hurdles. Our process also manages required training as well as development of new and enhanced skillsets to ensure a complete business transformation.

RiVi manages various program segments, reduces over-commitment of resources, and focuses efforts where they will have the most impact. We define program segments as a coherent group of projects, each small enough to reliably succeed, but coordinated to achieve well-defined strategic objectives.

RiVi organizes and manages all programs/project segments consistently using our Program Management Office Methodology (PMOM) for identifying, prioritizing and selecting the right projects, coupled with Project Management Institute (PMI) recommended Project Management Methodology (PMM) to support the best possible execution. Uncertainty is balanced by consistency and repeatability. Our success is predicated on experience and the knowledge gained from managing projects consistently -a critical factor in achieving high project completion rates. Successful program management is achieved through careful planning, understanding the current and future business environment, managing resources that meet the requirements, and mitigating any perceived risk.

Companies need the impact of large projects, without the huge risks … and the benefits of small projects without the loss of focus. Companies also need a systemized approach to orchestrate all business change efforts so that, in the end, the company achieves its vision. RiVi has created the "Envision/Design/Manage/Deliver" (EDMD) framework to assure that all activities of a change program maintain focus on the end-state objectives of your business.

Independent Program Management is quickly evolving as a key success factor for companies’ to ensure successful project implementations.
 

RiVi Framework

RiVi’s methodology has been successfully proven and time tested. This methodology ensures scalability to address nuances for both small and large projects, ranging in budgets from a few thousand dollars to multi-million dollar projects.

Envision:
We know what information technology can accomplish, and what it cannot. Against that backdrop, RiVi begins with a compelling concept, expands the concept to specific, identifiable "critical success factors" or business outcomes, and then translates those into tangible measures of success.

Design: The activities of multiple, interdependent project teams are meticulously organized while a team of experienced project managers centralize authority through a program management office. All project-related work is organized and executed through the creation of detailed project plans.

Manage: At RiVi, the management of large, complex programs defines our business, and the successful execution of individual projects is key to our success. Utilizing our program segment approach we divide complex program management structures into manageable tasks with well-defined timelines.

Deliver: Our methodology allows our customers and us to track measurable milestones to ensure successful project delivery.
