Any piece of work with a start and an end date can be regarded as a project.
It can also be regarded as a business within itself, with an owner, a business case, and clear benefits to be achieved.

The outcome of a project is always measured by how well the Project Manager (PM) managed:

• Time: Was the project delivered within the prescribed time frame?

• Cost: Did the project stay within the allocated budget?

• Quality: Did the project deliver the scope that the client requested?

Let us help you set projects up for success.

A PMO is a structured way of ensuring that the right projects are delivered correctly, with the right people.
A PMO (Project Management Office) mainly consists of three components:

• Processes: Clearly defined methods for how projects are delivered.

• Governance: An authority structure to maintain accountability of the processes.

• People: Role definitions specifying who is responsible for what, in order to prevent duplication or gaps.

The PMO can also implement tools to enhance visibility and reporting.
It maintains the cadence at which all projects are updated and reported on.

Tarka Consulting can help with this.

Losing track doesn’t necessarily mean the project has fallen behind schedule; there may be issues with ownership, stakeholders, or simply scope creep.

The best way to rectify this is to conduct a project audit.

You can assess this by looking at how well your processes have been defined and whether Project Managers are adhering to the rules.

• Is there a dedicated person or forum appointed as the referee to ensure everyone on the project is following the rules?

• Are the roles clearly defined, with responsibilities linked to KPIs?

Project Managers focus on getting the job done and rely on subject matter experts from either the client or the supplier to accomplish it.

Sometimes it is beneficial for the PM to understand what needs to be done, especially regarding timing and who is responsible for what and when. However, most of the time they will build a plan with the experts and execute accordingly.

We can help with setting up the right team.

It is common for projects to be measured by time, cost, and quality, but this should be standard practice for Project Managers. The main focus of a project should be to accomplish the scope, meet the business requirements, and achieve the benefits outlined in the business case.

We can help you set this up to achieve project success.

Sometimes a business does not have the required skills, or the available resources to complete projects, especially in a more mature project environment.

Tarka Talent understands this need and will appoint someone on site with the skills to get the job done according to your specific requirements.

This approach saves you the time and cost of recruitment.

Project expertise is not always available on standby within a business.

Even if a business has skilled Project Managers, they are seldom available at the exact time a new project starts. Contractors, however, are the type of professionals who can work intensively for a period and are comfortable waiting on the bench until a specific project arises.

A business then has two options: either employ or contract.

Tarka Talent has a diverse pipeline of contractors who can be deployed as and when required.

Tarka first needs to understand the key requirements for the resource you need.

We take these requirements to the market—not only to the usual pools where everyone else is fishing, but to a vast network of clients and available resources.

We then bring you the best matches for you to choose from.

We look forward to hearing from you and exploring how we can help.
