Project Management

The most critical part of any project is determining what’s part of the project and what’s not, the timeframe, how much to spend, and identifying the participants — many of whom may already have full-time jobs. If your project is important, its success depends on the ability of a dedicated person to manage the big picture and the small details, and coordinate the events and the communication between all those involved. Apple’s Professional Project Managers have years of experience getting it right in Education.

Engaging project management

A project starts well before submitting the proposal for equipment and services. The initiation begins with an understanding and agreement of the purpose for the project, determining when it starts, what it looks like in the middle, and establishing the expectations for the outcome. A Project Manager, while part of the project execution, is most valuable when also involved with the planning of the project. An experienced Project Manager, who is involved early in the planning of a project, can provide insight for a smoother implementation with fewer risks.
