We, at NINtec, understand the importance of sharing the best practices and learning needed for constant productivity improvement. At NINtec, knowledge management is at multiple levels – Organization Level, Program Level and at Project Level.

We use a strong Knowledge Management tool in integrated internal ERP system. The large repository of case studies, reference documents, best practices and experience sharing documents helps the team to get access to this knowledge and enhance the productivity.

This is further supported by regular knowledge sharing and “What worked – What did not” sessions within team, project and management levels. This further helps the team leverage the knowledge acquired across different projects for the benefit of the customers.

Program Management is the ability of balancing and prioritizing the objectives, managing the risk and overcoming limitations, while meeting the needs and expectations of both customers and the users successfully and continuously.

NINtec has empowered its Program Management model with the implementation of in-house custom built tools for automating the entire project management process. This brings in the process efficiency, standardization and extensive control. We have matured the project management processes, techniques, tools by delivering projects of different sizes and complexities. This has provided a strong program management framework to execute different types of projects.

We follow the principles and framework proposed by “Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)” for different project management processes and procedures.

Our Software Project Management processes forms

• A framework for managing intensive software projects
• Practical guidelines for planning, staffing, executing, and monitoring projects
• A framework for managing risk

We have been consistently delivering high end software applications in time and within budgets. We pursue adaptive model of project management where activities are governed by generic as well as customized processes. Following are the different structured project management approaches we follow which support the complete project life cycle.

Initiation

• Initial Scope Identification, Estimations, Contract, Resource Planning and team build up, formal project kickoff
• Establishing the overall project structure, standards, expectations, team and approach

Planning

• Establishing blueprint of project execution including detailed scheduling, communication planning, scope management, time management, risk mitigation, configuration planning, quality & test planning

Execution

• Enabling the project to remain focused by managing and monitoring day to day tasks, scope, issues, risk, quality, progress, metrics, QA reviews

Closure

• Ensuring the completion of the project in an organized fashion, as per the customer specifications, project scope, time and cost
• Formal Project/Phase closure after user acceptance and conducting retrospective analysis of the project.

In NINtec, customers have a highly dedicated and efficient project management team who quickly understand the project, plan the design and implementation competently. Our project managers have vast both domestic and international exposure in delivering projects for different industries technologies.

NINtec integrates risk mitigation with project planning and quality assurance planning. Risk identification and monitoring are also compulsory exercise for each project status review meeting. This ensures pro-active actions resulting in minimal impact on project and engagement.
