Our Approach
Process

The Canton Group understands that project success is based on well defined and repeatable processes. The Canton Group takes Project Management seriously since project management ultimately controls the success or failure of a project. Many organizations have strong technical or creative personnel but lack the disciplined project management procedures to ensure consistent successful project delivery. The Canton Group combines expert project management staff with expert technical and creative resources to guarantee successful project delivery every time.

The Canton Group has completed hundreds of successful projects. Our Project Management Practices are based on those defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). Through our project management practices, we have established a reputation for completing project assignments on time and within budget. We employ a project management structure that empowers the Project Manager with responsibility for technical deliverables as well as the successful execution of the project schedule and management of the project budget.

The Canton Group Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible for establishing and implementing Project Management (PM) practices and procedures for the Company. Regardless of project-specific technical focus, we utilize PM processes that are compliant with best practices as prescribed by the PMI. We also use Engineering Management processes that are compliant with best practices as prescribed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI).

Project Plans are based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) activities necessary to deliver the highest value Project work products and performance. The WBS defines the total project work scope, and each descending level of a WBS represents an increasingly detailed definition of the work to be performed. The WBS is the foundation for project task definition, resource and performance planning, time and cost estimating, budget formation, and progress/performance tracking and reporting.
