Project Initiation

Our Project Initiation service gives you an extremely cost-effective way to get started with a consulting firm, while also helping you define necessary details.

The decisions made at the beginning of a project prove among the most critical. Our goal is to transform the ideas, goals, and needs of a client into a solid and formally-documented plan that will serve as the roadmap for a project’s successful execution.

Direction + Scope

Where do you start?

What is the most time and cost-efficient direction for the project to take? We can help you clearly define the direction that will set you on the path to project success.

What's the scope?

Each project is unique in terms of resources, people, and time involved in order to execute the initiative successfully. Understanding the project scope helps us better define project objectives and create a plan.

Cost

How can I get my project funded?

When funding and department budgets are a concern, an initial engagement to flesh out the scope and resources involved in a project before kick-off increases the likelihood that it will receive the funding needed.

How can I get a more accurate estimate?

No engagement is “one size fits all,” especially when it comes to cost. An initial engagement to define the scope will give you more intimate details of resources involved, their roles, and the estimated time to completion.

Timeline

How long will it take?

Ranging anywhere from a two-day to a two-week engagement, our Project Initiation provides clients with access to an experienced consultant who will dig deeper into your goals, pain points, and concerns.

What will the Go-Live date be?

We can provide a more detailed and accurate timeline, which helps you plan for meetings and resource availability. Each project is unique, but our consultants are highly experienced in estimating project timelines based on the scope of work.

how we do it…

A well-planned and scoped project drastically reduces the likelihood for failure and frustration down the line after you’ve already invested a great deal of time, money and resources.

Aciron consultants will help you to clearly define important project details, such as:

How to navigate different expectations from key project stakeholders
How much time investment will be required from your employees?
Build vs. Buy: are your needs best solved with a commercial off-the-shelf system, or is custom development the way to go?
How much of the work can and should be internalized?
What will the finalized product look like?
