Peak Performance Technologies provides overall coordination and management of all aspects of the planning and implementation processes and can act as the client's representative in leading the project team. Early involvement in a project offers our clients the greatest opportunity to most effectively control cost, schedule, and quality. We will also assist the client with risk and issue management as well as implement a process that manages on-going change by working with project stakeholders during the strategic development of a project. This enables us to anticipate project conditions, provide our clients with an early warning of potential project impact, and present the client with options and recommendations that enable informed decisions to move ahead. All services can be done using onsite, remote, full time or part time models.

Perhaps our greatest service to our public sector clients has been our ability to help implement (or streamline) a Program Management Office (PMO) . The success of today’s complex ERP and I/T engagements can be directly tied to the structure and effectiveness of the Program Management model that is in place throughout the organization. It is our experience that many education and government customers are behind corporate America in this area so we have created innovative ways to help our customers improve existing models or create them from scratch depending on the need. Our team of project management experts will provide multiple models from similar clients of size, scope and complexity and work with the customer to tailor a model to their liking. Every organization has it’s own unique culture and we help guide these customers to a model that we believe will best integrate with the underlying culture.

Our consultants are Project Management Certified by PMI. The Project Management Institute (PMI®) stands as a global leader in the field of Project Management. The PMI certification involves a rigorous, examination-based process that represents the highest caliber in professional standards. Therefore, PMI’s professional certification is universally accepted and recognized.  Our approach is a comprehensive, fully integrated process that ensures successful results. As your independent, unbiased and objective representative, we provide technical expertise, flexibility and project control within a collaborative environment, and we deliver a project completed on time, on budget and most importantly, deliverables that are consistent with the client's project goals and objectives. Peak Performance Technologies can also provide exception program and project professionals on a direct hire or contract basis.

Project Initiation - Your Peak Performance Technologies project manager will assist your organization in the key activities that are required to guide the project through closure. These activities include: Developing the business case, completing the feasibility study, establishing the project charter, appointing the project team, setting up the project office, performing the phase review.

Project Planning - The successful foundation of any project begins before the execution process commences. IT projects require, by their nature, a complex set of planning decisions that strongly impact the long-term success of the project. We are organized to provide expert management of the project planning process to meet project challenges and mitigate risks. Our comprehensive planning approach systematically moves the project from establishing program criteria and design, through budgeting and scheduling, placing it in the best possible position to commence implementation.

Project Execution and Control - Project Planning Phase and ideally starts once the Project Plan has been approved and baselined. Project Execution is characterized by the actual work on the tasks planned and project Control involves the comparison of the actual performance with the planned performance and taking appropriate corrective action to get the desired output.

Project Closure - Project closure is the last phase of the Project Life Cycle. The commencement of the Project Closure Phase is determined by the completion of all Project Objectives and acceptance of the end product by the customer. Project Closure includes the following tasks: Release of the resources, both staff and non-staff, and their redistribution and reallocation to other projects, if needed. Closure of any financial issues like labor, contract etc. Collection and completion of all project records. archiving of all project records. Documenting the issues and lessons faced in the Project and their resolution.

Managing Project Change - Change Management focuses on people to ensure that change is brought about smoothly, effectively, and with minimum resistance. Our Change Management activities are directed toward the identification and mitigation of the people-oriented risks associated with accomplishing the change objectives. Our four-phase process includes:

• • Creating awareness: bringing common understanding of intended change aligned with individual values and ensuring that the knowledge about the change has occurred
  •  Building acceptance: creating environments conducive to change in mindsets and sense of ownership to gain positive perception on the change initiative
  •  Accomplishing adoption: transferring ownership of the change program to the business through institutionalization and internalization
  •  Achieving assimilation: coaching, problem solving, and addressing persistent pockets of resistance
  •  As global organizations strive to align business and IT strategies and derive maximum value from their IT investments, they need optimal program management frameworks and skills to meet their investment goals.
