Telarus Project Management

Simplifying Complex Processes

Most significant telecom sales involve multiple Suppliers.  While a contracted service may be purchased through a single carrier, the local access to network services may be provided by another.  There may be third-party vendors responsible for equipment procurement, configuration, and installation.  Software-as-a-service providers may also be involved, requiring the network and equipment products noted above.  Many significant projects also require coordination with additional carriers, vendors, and providers from which the customer may be migrating to their new solution.  All of these parties and their many moving parts are most successfully coordinated and integrated by a Telarus project manager, who is able to ensure that each stakeholder’s interests are properly protected and served.

Common Project Management Myths

There are so many common myths in our channel around project marketing. Telarus produced a short series called Mythblasters where in this episode, the Telarus Director of Project Management Stephanie Coleman debunks some of those project management myths that may have even prevented your business from reaching that next level.

1

Discovery

Experienced Telarus managers begin by assembling all relevant information about the sale, and often create a full network diagram for project management.

Organization

Customer, Carrier and other Teams are identified; communication distribution lists are created; and schedules are determined for updates and necessary meetings.

Coordination

Gantt charts, spreadsheets and other customized tools are designed and shared among team members; both to time and coordinate tasks, and to track progress toward milestones and objectives.
4

Momentum

Telarus project managers aggressively escalate issues as necessary, to resolve delays and develop additional solutions to keep the project moving forward.
5

Collaboration

Regular, detailed collaboration is maintained with involved Supplier(s) and all team members to quickly translate the sales agreements into installed, functioning services; which meet the customer’s performance expectations, and which invoice and commission accurately.
