When managing a project, we minimize or eliminate issues by:
1. Developing detailed Scope of Work & Request for Proposal Packages to ensure all stakeholders are clear
​
2. Reviewing responses to RFPs for accuracy & completeness
​
3. Being on-site or available during the installation is critical to partner with other project managers and resolve issues the moment they arise
4. Ensuring modification proposals are realistic and actionable from both the operator and the contractor to keep the project on vision and on track
​
5. Ensuring key functionality and features are not compromised to maintain the integrity of the project's goals​​
​
6. Keep stakeholders informed through regular reports so there are no surprises
Implementation is where all the great planning comes together. Trick now is, to keep it together.
This is undoubtedly the most challenging part of any on-board renovation or new-build project because you have multiple pieces of the puzzle now coming together. From owner-supplied furniture and signage, to various contractors owning different pieces of the puzzle, unplanned circumstances can be typical, but also avoidable.
Projects go wrong because of things like documentation errors, misinterpretations by a contractor, unforeseen existing conditions, and a host of other scenarios.
Over the years we have managed projects from in-service and dry-dock renovations, month-long new build outfittings to port day installations, all with great success simply by ensuring nothing is assumed and all steps are clearly defined.
