Strategic Project Planning and Implementation

ITRANU staff have assisted clients in all areas of project planning and implementation. Through collaborative efforts, we have translated our clients' objectives into practical paths forward with real, measurable results.

We implement Project Management best practices to ensure every aspect of your technology implementation program is successful.

• Prepare and evaluate contract solicitations/bid packages
• Identify performance metrics and milestones for developing incentive-based fee structures
• Develop infrastructure for adequate control and oversight capabilities during project implementation
• Develop quality program requirements to ensure project tasks comply with approved work plans, contract terms, program agreements, and guidance documents
• Provide technical support throughout the life-cycle of the project including In-Process Technical Reviews (IPTRs) and participating on technical task teams
• Interface with external stakeholders to meet all of their interests and advancing the client-stakeholder relationship through meetings and effective technology and information transfer
