Project Management
Fundamental to the success of all enterprises, public and private, is the ability to effectively manage the projects and programs under their purview. Project management is a systems approach applied to the full life cycle of a particular project that involves planning, directing and coordinating human and material resources using state-of-art tools, processes, and protocols to achieve pre-defined objectives related to cost, schedule, scope and quality as well as an acceptable level of client and stakeholder satisfaction.
Since its inception over a decade ago, Link Technologies' credentialed Project Management Professionals (PMP) have provided quality project management solutions and services to school systems, power companies, manufacturers, state and local governments, and federal agencies for projects ranging from several thousand dollars to projects with multi-million dollar budgets. Our cost management experts participate in the project from its inception, including detailed planning through project close-out, to ensure that realistic funding estimates and expected cash flow requirements tied to project milestones are established. Our schedulers and planners define the appropriate scheduling and tools and platform, and analyze work scopes in relation to expected costs and schedules. We also help define and monitor quality objectives, and perform independent quality reviews to anticipate and correct any problems.
