PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Maser Consulting consistently accomplishes project goals and objectives by performing professional services in conformity with our project management procedures. As part of the corporation’s commitment to sound management practices, Maser Consulting has made a substantial investment in the latest technology. Projects are managed to ensure successful project delivery in compliance with the approved schedule, budget and quality standards. Maser Consulting project managers operate within a team environment and we value our clients as team members and partners. A key factor in successful project management is communication. Keeping our clients and other team members informed throughout the project life cycle is viewed as critical to overall project success. As part of the corporation's commitment to sound management practices, Maser Consulting has made a substantial investment in the latest technology with all offices connecting through Wide Area Network connections which provides a real-time communication platform. These connections enable all offices to access data on any of the fourteen servers that service the all-regional offices. The company has a dedicated T1 connection to the internet, web servers and a dedicated server for e-mail and project scheduling integrated with Microsoft Exchange. We utilize Microsoft Project as our primary project management and scheduling software platform. In addition, our project managers actively utilize the project management portals included in BST Financial Software (Ver.10) to track and maintain project budgets on a weekly basis. During the initial review of the project scope of work a Project Risk Analysis/Assessment will be performed. The purpose of this assessment is to identify potential project related impediments that may negatively impact the schedule, budget or both. Experience has shown that early identification of potential issues and implementation of mitigation measures will help ensure overall success of the task assignment. The final scope of work authorized by the client establishes the baseline for the official project budget and project schedule. Each project schedule is developed based on a “time-is-of-the-essence” philosophy that identifies the logical work sequence through all activities, thus defining the project Critical Path. CPM schedules identify project milestones and deliverables and reflect the approved staff hours and budgeted fees needed to complete each phase of the project. This cost-loaded CPM schedule is tracked internally and updated weekly from actual time charged against the project, including project direct expenses. Section D, Page 1
