Complexity:
Mission Critical Customers include Commercial and Government organizations that utilize command and control facilities for various purposes. All of these environments are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week and require a high level of care and support. Our customers that work in these facilities do not tolerate downtime and therefore the PM must continuously plan for risk mitigation procedures to avoid downtime to their operations. Every project is different, and project stakeholders are different. The PM needs to negotiate a very complex set of variables between system design, site conditions and a widely varying set of expectations with multiple stakeholders. The skill of communicating both verbally and in writing to manage all these variables takes a very high level of awareness, emotional intelligence and people management skills. The PM is constantly managing the forces of change in every project environment. Balancing schedules, budgets, scope, quality and client satisfaction are a very complex set of variables
