Contract and project management success depends essentially on implementation of the best contract and project management practices. VIMEX Technologies offers a broad spectrum of advisory services and relevant methodology documents to help businesses in establishing their Contract and Project Management Office (PMO) and implement formal contract and project management processes within the organization. A key step in successful achievement of this goal is development of the company’s specific, customized, clear and easy to implement contract and project management procedures and relevant documentation templates, based on the best project management practices. VIMEX's many years of contract and project management experience and expertise are summarized in a unique proprietary document - the VIMEX Technology Contract & Project Management Handbook © (PMH). When implemented, the procedures presented in PMH shall ensure the best use of the company’s resources, encourage the delivery of contracts, projects and work packages on time, within budget, and to the highest level of quality. The major expected outcome of the PMH utilization is the company’s ability to execute the complex advanced contracts and technology projects better, faster, and cheaper. The PMH is intended to be a management guide for implementation of the most effective contract and project management procedures for each contract or project engagement. It represents a systematic view of the major contract or project management activities and subject areas and covers all phases of the engagement life cycle. Being a manager’s guide of the step-by-step implementation of all major contract or project management procedures, as well as repository of the key documentation templates, the PMH shall assure that there is very little learning curve for a manager and the team members as they come on board or transition from one engagement to another. The PMH document covers the basics of the PMO, a company’s unit that is responsible for all aspects of the contract and project management. The PMO basics are followed in the PMH by the detailed step-by-step project management Procedures, developed by VIMEX Technologies. These Procedures cover all the five project life cycle Phases, as per the Project Management Institute (PMI) widely recognized methodology: Project Initiating Project Planning Project Executing Project Controlling Project Closing. In accordance with the PMI's Project Management Institute Book of Knowledge (PMBoK) classification, those five project management Phases or Groups of Procedures are mapping the nine basic project management knowledge Areas: Project Integration Management Project Scope Management Project Time Management Project Cost Management Project Quality Management Project Human Resources Management Project Communications Management Project Risk Management Project Procurement Management. As per PMBoK, these nine knowledge Areas cover in total the thirty-nine major project management Activities.
