NDI Proposal 80008-53 PROJECT MANAGEMENT Northern Digital's project management philosophy is centered around the development of a trusting and lasting relationship with our clients based on excellence and responsibility. This philosophy is founded on having a full understanding of our client's needs and managing our project resources to ensure that expectations are met or exceeded. Ultimately, NDI's success is predicated upon the strength of our client relationships. Our company stands by an ideal of "relationships forged in commitment," and we understand that we share a common interest in the overarching success of the project. NDI sits on the same side of the table as our clients. Because of these core values, NDI views our relationships as partnerships, and our objective is to provide on -time, on -budget delivery of a system that meets or exceeds your organization's expectations. Northern Digital also takes a full life -cycle approach, considering all phases of the product development life cycle prior to beginning work. Throughout the Definition, Analysis, Design, Integration and Implementation phases of a project, each step is not independent of any other and decisions made regarding the design should consider and incorporate the requirements of the other phases. An important aspect of Northern Digital's approach to Project Management includes optimizing project efficiencies by standardization in applicable situations. NDI also implements a series of processes and procedures to ensure that the client's objectives as well as NDI's standards and best -practices are followed and executed to -plan. As a company, we have chosen to utilize Teamwork, a cloud -based software application, in order to serve as Northern Digital's project management software tool. This software also allows for the standardization of project templates, which aids in the development of Work Breakdown Structures, workflows, timekeeping systems, and Earned -Value Management tracking. NDI's Project management philosophy utilizes the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology in order to segment the project into sequential phases. Proper project execution requires "beginning" with the "end" in -mind. The 5 stages of NDI's SDLC include Definition, Analysis, Design, Integration, Implementation. Considering the requirements of each stage throughout the project is key to achieving success.
