Program Management
Zethos Consulting program managers have experience working with executives and project sponsors to setup a program model that produces consolidated benefits across multiple related projects. Our program management model seeks to establish clear expectations with project sponsors and stakeholder's so they can provide effective steering and oversight.
From our program management experience we know that every program, business initiative and technology project is unique. It is important to establish the right level of governance, communication, issue escalation and consolidated project status reporting for the benefit of project executives, sponsors, stake holders, managers and participants. An effective program model will maximize your return on investment, minimize resource conflict, reduce schedule delays and ensure the successful delivery of related projects
Business Activities
Business Cutover
Cutover has two components - Technical Cutover and Business Cutover.
The Technical cutover is the migration of the data from one system to another. The business needs to participate in this process from data cleansing to reconciliation. Every project is a bit different but they all need strong business participation to be successful.
The business cutover is the business activities required by migrating to a new system. These include the ramp down business activities, like ship early or build early, and the ramp up activities, like slowly turning on shipping to the customer. These activities require coordination with the customer base.
Project Sign-Off
We strongly believe in collecting Go-Live signatures from leaders in the business and IT before we go-live. This process ensures everyone is committed and they have an opportunity to not sign and raise an issue that may need to be resolved.
Nothing unites the go-live more than everyone agreeing they are ready with a signature!
