Project Management

Project management is a carefully planned and organized effort to accomplish a specific (and usually) one-time objective. ATI Energy offers professional project management on a cost plus basis, specific to energy-related programs within our area of expertise. The core of project management is managed expectation.

A successful Project Manager must simultaneously manage the four basic elements of a project: Resources, Time, Money and most importantly, Scope. All these elements are inter-related. Each must be managed effectively. All must be managed together if the projects and the project manager, are to be a success. Resources reference the people/contractors, equipment and material required. Time is the project duration - start to finish. Money is the financial requirements and expectation including contingencies necessary for a successful project.

Finally, Scope is the detail of project size, project goals and requirements. The scope should set specific goals and expectations. The scope should be agreed upon by all involved to ensure there is accurate and objective information, specific to performance expectations. In short, you cannot effectively manage the resources, time and money in a project unless you actively manage the project scope.
