Project Initiation

For companies that recognise the need to enhance project success by ensuring that it gets on the right track from the start.

About PI
Cohesion`s Projects Initiation (PI) is a well structured process that ensures that projects are done for the right reasons, that all stakeholders have an in-depth understanding of what`s required, and that a comprehensive project plan is in place that outlines how the project is implemented. As a result, senior management and project sponsors have peace of mind knowing that the correct project is selected and implemented according to a comprehensive plan in line with the business strategy that maximizes results, and projects their investment.

Why PI?
Most projects get into difficulty, not because they are badly managed but because of what happened, or more typically, what did not happen at the start. Cohesion`s PI encompasses the why, what and how of the project, namely the business case, project charter, and the project plan, which all collaborate to form a solid groundwork for a successful project.

Key Features & Benefits
Cohesion`s PI ensures that the project team and the organization understand why the project is undertaken in line with the expected results from the project. The project charter details what is expected of the various parties working together to meet the project`s objectives, as well as a definition and timeline of deliverables and communications. The project plan not only encompasses the project schedule but also focuses on other issues that are critical to the success of a project, such as resources, deputisation, back up plans, contingencies, and risk management.
