We believe that Project Management is as equally important as Technical Governance and these two aspects are given equal status within WEC.  Key elements to our process are;

• “Programme Manager”, the PM has oversight of all client projects and acts as the high-level interface providing an escalation route into WEC should it be required. Our experience shows that having a PM in post is highly effective in ensuring smooth running of any project providing full programme oversight and enabling a swift resolution to any issues. Depending on the size of the programme this role may be combined with the “Job Lead”.
• “Job Lead”, the JL works closely with the client to ensure agreed expectations are realised. They have both project management and technical governance responsibilities and act as a clear focal point for the client. JL’s are responsible for planning delivery, meeting agreed schedules and ensuring project compliance. JL’s are also trained to identify risks and appropriate mitigations with the goal of protecting the overall programme for the client.
• Regular, clear and effective communication between the client and the wider team is required throughout the project. This begins with a Kick off Meeting agreeing project goals, reporting KPIs, necessary resources and all stakeholders. As the project proceeds status is reported via regular meetings during which the agreed project KPI’s are presented. At WEC we see these regular meetings as essential and it is the responsibility of the JL to ensure that they are held.
• Lessons Learned, on completion of every project, we capture any lessons learned feeding them back into our QMS supporting our commitment to continuous improvement.
