Assessing Project Risk

All too often tasks within a project are held independently and rolled up to create the working plan and estimates. Risk doesn't work independently. While risk registers certainly do help, we need to provide warnings of common cause delays, critical objective fulfillment obligations, and organizationally and culturally compliant mitigation pathways. It shouldn't take a crisis to be a hero. 

Critical Path Management

Identifying the critical path is, well, critical. The critical path is the series of events or tasks that define the ultimate length of the project. 

But knowing what the path is is just the first step. It is equally important to understand which tasks might join the critical path as they too will require management. Individual managers should strive to keep their tasks off of the critical path.

Haskett Consulting International provides critical path management tools that provide project managers with the knowledge of the critical path as well as the probability and magnitude of pain associated with threats from near-critical path elements.  

Logistics Decision Support

Having the right stuff at the right place at the right time makes for a good project. However, logistics is one of those functions that seem to disappear when all is well, and raise great angst when something is fouled up.

The application of sound decision support, including the training of logistics personnel in decision and uncertainty management, dramatically improves the logistical efficiency of a project. It allows the logistics professional to focus on the items having the highest project impact. 

Project Management benefits greatly from uncertainty assessment and decision analysis. Haskett Consulting International professionals have been there, done that in projects big and small. We helped to guide developments down the efficient path and we've helped to rescue projects that have gone awry. Let us help you to be the most efficient you can be. We can also be "third eye" advisers on projects, seeking out decision based gains and optimal pathways.
