Gray Cat Senior Project Management Explained

Apr 17, 2024
 

Gray Cat often gets asked to step into a senior-level role to manage an enterprise-wide project (https://www.graycatenterprises.com/blog/project-management 

We get tasked with leading the project with the philosophy of being “On-Time and On-Budget”.  We not only identify the end game for the project but all the mileposts along the way.   

Through a combination of both external resources and internal staff, Gray Cat guides and directs the project forward.  A series of “war gaming” activities occur throughout attempting to identify any potential missteps in advance. 

Often, we are the voice of reason for the executive committee keeping them grounded with their expectations and/or impacts to daily business. 

All in all, Gray Cat takes your project from A-to-Z,
