   At Vismaad, we practise a professional and comprehensive project management methodology.
   It can be described in four stages as illustrated below .
   
   

   Stage 1: Initiation

   
   

    

   The first stage is The Initiation, which begins once a Statement of Work (SOW) document is accepted
   and signed by the client. The project manager will review the client strategy and conduct
   a pre-engagement team meeting with the project team members

   
   

   Stage 2: Planning

   
   

    

   The second stage is The Planning Process. The project team will analyze the SOW in detail to perform
   a high level planning process. At this stage, the document scope is defined and the project team is ready
   to conduct a client kickoff meeting. Following the kickoff meeting, the project manger will establish
   a communication path with the client, as well as draw up schedules and milestones.
   Various plans will also be defined before arriving at the Project Definition Document (PDD).
   After the client verifies the PDD, the project plan commences.

   
   

   Stage 3: Implementation & Control

   
   

    

   In stage three, we deliver the contracted services. Throughout the duration of the project, weekly meetings
   (or whenever required) will be held to review and update the client with the most current status.
   Upon completion of project deliverables, an internal review will take place among the project team members.
   This will be followed by a client deliverable review and a client acceptance process if the client is satisfied
   with the deliverable.

   
   

   Stage 4: Continuous Project Management & Control Activities

   
   

    

   The fourth stage – Continuous Project Management & Control Activities – takes place throughout the entire project.

   
   

   Stage 5: Closeout

   
   

    

   The fifth and final stage is The Closeout. The project manager will collect and verify all final records
   and proceed to conduct a client closeout review.
