Project management at a software developer
Project management at a software developer
The situation at the client
Together with one of the client's most important customers, a telecom company that operates worldwide, a new product was launched which made it possible to link various propositions and services.
The telecom company was thus able to provide the customer a more complete offer on different channels. Naturally, various IT components had to be developed for this project. Both parties were very satisfied with the delivery of the first version. According to the director: ''The telecom company saw the potential of the product and subsequently made a request to further develop the product into a multiplay form." At that time, the customer had already successfully launched the Multiplay form at other branches in different countries.
"Given the importance of the program, it was necessary for a senior Program Manager to assist us with good technical insights."
The project to upgrade the first version to the multiplay version was difficult in terms of cooperation and coordination between the parties who had to develop the product. "Coordination was difficult in terms of content and prioritisation of activities within the set of deadlines."
The contribution of the software developer was the largest and most important, but the project management at this party could be improved. Given the importance of the program, it was necessary for a heavy Program Manager to assist us with good technical insights.
The solution from MOJEO
MOJEO has taken up the role of Program Manager. "At that time we chose MOJEO because the organisation had the necessary knowledge and skills in the field of project management. MOJEO has taken up this role well''.
After a short assessment MOJEO made a new planning and reorganised the project. The director of the software developer is enthusiastic about the speed with which improvements were visible for the organisation of the project. "Within 4 weeks the relations between the parties had already improved, this ensured that the way was open to deliver components as agreed upon to our customer." MOJEO also fulfilled other project management roles within the program as desired.
"MOJEO has played a crucial role in getting the project back on track. You did this mainly by providing insights as an independent party and clearly indicating where things went wrong within the program. The employees of MOJEO have clearly pointed out their responsibilities to the various parties. ‘’
‘’As a result, the program has been given clearer and more reliable timelines for delivery in the various phases. ‘’
