TEAMING UP FOR

SUCCESS

Despite financial challenges that may tag along, a slowdown is the best time for introspection and to improve processes. To help with cashflow difficulties, our financial terms have been relaxed for the duration of this crisis. So, if like us, you remain open and wish to work remotely, count on our many years of remote work experience to make this a productive experience.
​
As we wanted to make a difference in the crisis playing out, we joined a volunteer collective focussed on projects related to COVID-19 relief efforts. Contact us if you have ideas and need help with their realization. We will do our best to help you or connect you with someone who can.

Teaming up for success

A commitment to do the right things, at the right time, in the right order. 

The Standish Group reports that only 16,1% of Management Information System projects are successful… that is, completed on time and budget, with all features and functions as specified. The Project Management Institute attributes the low success rate to poor project management, noting that up to 92% of managed projects are successful. At D-Cogit, we use best project management practices.

Proven methods

We use: charters to ensure projects activities align with business goals; proposals to document specifications, costs, deliverables and schedules; plans to document tasks, assign resources, schedule work, mitigate risks and track the project; change requests, sparingly, to adjust projects in execution; and post-mortems to learn from successes and failures encountered during project execution.

Scope creep

A good project delivered is better than a perfect project unfinished. A moving target can not be estimated. Of course we understand that specifications must sometimes be adjusted during the execution of a project. Perhaps the proposal is missing a crucial specification. Perhaps a business goal is no longer relevant but the project is still viable. Clarity is crucial. Change requests safeguard it.

That said… we encourage clients to defer project changes to future versions of tools under development. Tools benefit from users feedback between iterations and adhere more tightly to real usage requirements rather than predicted ones. Iterations also allows for smaller, more affordable projects, which in turn reduces risks.

Fair and square

We desire long term relationships with our clients. We build rapport with them and deepen our understanding of where they are and where they want to go. We are here to help resolve their pains and realize their goals.

We are not cheap. We charge clients a fair price and pay our employees and suppliers a fair price. A fair price ensures the well-being of our company, our employees and our suppliers. This makes for productive employees, good service from suppliers and helps ensure long term relationships with clients.
