"People make the federal enterprise work successfully."

An effective, efficient, streamlined project team that knows how to avoid or mitigate project risks keeps your enterprise project within scope, on budget, and on schedule. Included in defining the ultimate success of the project is determining whether the project meets or exceeds the stakeholders' expectations. The Project Catalyst methodology expedites project processes.

Kilda Group's services bridge the gap between acquisition and implementation to mitigate client/vendor friction due to scope change, deliverable acceptance, schedule shifts, and cost overruns. When using our Project Catalyst methodology, the focus is on increasing organizational effectiveness at the enterprise, program, and project levels.

Enterprise projects are often the driver behind other organizational changes. Therefore, the success of the project is dependent on successful change management and stakeholder involvement. Being mindful of "life after go-live" is critical. All too often, the project team looks at the go-live event as "the end,” when in fact it is just the beginning of organization life in a new environment.

Project Catalyst starts by first establishing Project DNA, which defines how human resources are allocated throughout the project team. This allocation affects project efficiency by building team continuity and ownership of work product and deliverables. Project DNA facilitates communications, workflow, risk identification, and resolution while reducing redundancy within the project team.

Other Project Catalyst services include:

1. Stakeholder/sponsor management
   
2. Mobilization (e.g., process and readiness workshops)
3. Risk identification and management
   
4. Expectations management and realization
   
5. Scope control

Enterprise projects impact the entire organization. Key project activities are required to drive the project toward a successful go-live. Beyond the project boundary, there are stakeholders and other interested parties who must be recognized and engaged for the release to be successful. Project Catalyst works to ensure that these often times competing elements (organization leadership, project leadership, site coordinators, organizational stakeholders, project team members, and system users) remain in alignment over the course of the project effort.
