Project Management - Overview

The Project Management Team provides consultation services for U.S. Air Force organizations in project management "technology" (methods, practices, techniques, and tools). A focus on adoption of field-proven technologies for managing a project to its successful end is the hallmark of the STSC's quality service.

Mission

Project Management focuses on the concepts and principles required to plan a project and manage all aspects of the project to a successful completion as viewed by customers. The STSC's Project Management Team assists U.S. Air Force and other DoD organizations identify, evaluate, and adopt project management technologies that improve software product quality, production, efficiency, and predictability. The term technology is used in its broadest sense to include project management methods, practices, techniques and tools that enhance human capability. Our focus is on field-proven project management technologies.

DoD and non DoD software development organizations emphasize the SEI's Capability Maturity Model (CMM). Project Management encompasses several Key Process Areas (KPAs) within the CMM. For example, noteworthy KPAs are Software Project Planning, Software Project Tracking and Oversight, and Requirements Management.

Services

Our team provides experienced software engineers to help you assess, prepare, plan, apply and effectively use software technologies. We work alongside the customer to ensure a successful identification, evaluation or adoption of Project Management technologies that improve your project management capabilities.

We provide proven customized workshops and assessment services to support project management activities. The following describe the available workshops, consulting services, and reports that can be provided for your organization. Note that all workshops and consulting services are available on a cost recovery or fee-for-service basis.
