Our Process

Advanced Metrics understands the need for a strategic and structured process in order to lay the groundwork for successful software development and implementation.  Our multi-disciplinary team utilizes a science-informed and proven project management and implementation methodology throughout the entire software lifecycle. This approach provides our customers with the support they need, from initial requirements gathering and software implementation to sustained organizational acceptance.

The Project Management Resource Team

The Project Management Resource Team (PMRT) is Advanced Metrics’ version of a Project Management Office (PMO). Our PMRT ensures project management standards are implemented and maintained across all departments. We believe transparent and on-going communication ensures customers are aware of the status of their project and that potential impediments are identified and addressed early on. Following a standardized project management process increases productivity and ensures our customers receive quality products within identified timelines. The Advanced Metrics PMRT embraces a five-part process:

  1. Strategic Planning: The PMRT vets and selects projects that align with our internal standards, company culture, and mission to do business for good.
  2. Standardized Practices: The PMRT ensures best practices are implemented. This includes developing appropriate internal processes and documenting these as standard operating procedures.
  3. Culture: The PMRT works to embed project management within our company culture.
  4. Resource Management: The PMRT cues projects based on priority and reviews team schedules to ensure resources are available to complete projects.
  5. Documentation: The PMRT maintains documentation and reviews key performance indicators to promptly identify and address project impediments.
