Project Management

With more than a decade of eCommerce experience we have developed a proven project management methodology to help get your project completed on time and on budget.

Project success depends on good planning, good communication and a clear understanding of what is required for our team and yours. Over the course of the project your time requirement will vary from almost nothing to close to full time. Our project management documentation lays out the details on each step and what we require from them so they can plan ahead and help us keep your project on track.

A well-managed eCommerce project for a simple business can take as little as 7 weeks, with many being completed in under 12 weeks. More complex implementations for established organizations requiring systems integration usually take 4 to 6 months.

There are a few simple rules that will help to keep your project on track. 

1. Limited Number of Decision Makers:
   Ideally there will be 1 person at your location who is responsible for the eCommerce project. This person will have the skills, knowledge, and authority to make decisions on behalf of your organization. The more people involved in each decision, the longer it will take to gather feedback, the harder it will be to build consensus, the longer your project will take, and the more your project timeline and management budget will grow. 
2. Timely feedback:
   To keep the project operating on an efficient timeline we recommend feedback within 2 business days. 
3. Availability:
   If key individuals will be unavailable for some or all of the estimated project timeline, it is best that we learn this at the beginning of the project so that we can plan around the absences. Switching decision makers part way through a project increases project management costs. 
4. Be Prepared:
   We have created a detailed document that outlines each step of our process. Your team will have a good idea of what is happening at each stage and what is required from them for the next steps. Some of the tasks can be time consuming but it is possible to get a head start and reduce the disruption to your regular routine.

We look forward to discussing your requirements.
