Scheduling and Cost Control

Proper time management is critical to meeting important deadlines and keeping the project within budget. Epic Project strives to maintain your projects on schedule.
To achieve scheduling control:

• Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) to define the project’s activities according to, and limited to, the project’s scope.
• Establish the delivery sequence must be taken into account lead times, earliest and latest start and finish times
• Estimate activity resources and the duration of each activity.
• Develop a schedule, and a baseline to serve as a schedule control.

Cost control is directly linked to the project’s work breakdown structure because costs for schedule activities are estimated for all resources charged to the project.

Epic Projects understands the importance of careful estimating and tracking of budgets to control project costs.  By creating baselines for the project’s schedule and costs and by tracking them accordingly, deviations from the baselines can be managed and put back on track with schedule and cost controls.

Risk Management

Epic Projects and Consulting applies risk management processes and practices for all of our projects. We develop risk management plans that are then integrated into the project management process to ensure that risks are identified, managed or mitigated before they can influence the projects.

We facilitate structured risk workshops and provide expert input into the identification and evaluation of risks.  We establish a risk management plan, prepare a risk register, assess the risks and initiate a management plan with appropriate action and follow up.

This enables project stakeholders to communicate risk management strategies and respond to the risks.
