Project Management

Our Hanani Project Management service involves managing projects through the discipline of planning, organising, controlling and managing resources.

The allocated project manager is responsible for accomplishing all project objectives. This project manager ensures that the balance between scope, time, and cost is managed and maintained throughout the project lifecycle, by focusing on the following project management principles:

Our Project Management service is focused on delivering on the following benefits:

• Ensuring that the project includes only the work required to complete the project successfully;
• Ensuring that the project satisfies the needs for which it was undertaken;
• Ensuring the most effective use of the people involved with the project;
• Promoting effective communication between the project’s team members and key stakeholders;
• Ensuring that project risks are identified, analysed and mitigated;
• Coordinating the interrelated processes of the project;
• Clear and agreed upon “Road Map”;
• Ensuring that the project is completed according to specified requirements.

Project Planning

Many projects and ideas fail, not because of a lack of funds, but mainly as a result of poor planning and management. Hanani’s Project Planning service component produces a well-defined set of objectives. It plots the course of action required to attain these objectives by gathering information from various sources, each with varying levels of completeness and confidence, to produce the best possible project plan.

These processes also identify, define and mature the project scope and cost — and schedule project activities. As new project information comes to light, additional dependencies, requirements, risks, opportunities, assumptions and constraints are identified or resolved. As more project information or characteristics are gathered and understood, follow-on actions may be required. Once the plan has been fully evolved and developed, we hand it over to our client for implementation.

Our Project Planning service component is focused on delivering on the following outcomes:

• Identifying project requirements;
• Establishing clear and achievable objectives;
• Balancing competing demands for quality, scope, time and cost;
• Adapting specifications, plans and approaches to address stakeholders’ concerns and expectations.

Project Coordination

Implementation of a new idea/concept requires coordination to actively manage interactions and to meet sponsor, customer and other stakeholder requirements. At Hanani, we’re able to offer an independent Project Coordination service to our clients.

This service is an integrative undertaking, where each project/event and its processes are appropriately defined, mapped out, aligned and connected with other business processes. Our Project Coordination Specialists generally work closely with managers within your organisation to ensure carefully coordinated delivery.

They focus on tracking project action items and the general progression of projects. Hanani’s project coordinators take part in activities such as travel arrangements, events planning, managing and coordination, together with associated logistics and administration.

Our Project Coordination service component focuses on delivering the following benefits:

• Liaising between the business, external contractors and the project teams;
• Being the first point of contact for all parties;
• Implementing business initiatives according to a mapped-out plan of action;
• Coordinating project and business resources to ensure effective delivery;
• Ensuring timely delivery and implementation of action items;
• Creating and maintaining project documentation.

Project Administration

Hanani’s Project Administration service is a support function which administers Project Management processes, freeing up the project manager to focus on components such as stakeholder management, team development, leadership and negotiations.

This service becomes crucial when a project progresses along its timeline and increasingly demands more focus and attention. Project managers invariably need help to ensure that the right project documents are in place, that administration remains up to date and that reports are produced accurately and timeously.
Our administrators are trained in minute taking, meeting arrangements, asset management, collation and updating of project documentation, petty cash management and administrative support for all project related matters.

Project Finance

Hanani’s Project Finance service primarily concerns itself with the financial management practices required to complete project scheduled activities. This is a key function for any project we provide either independently, or as part of our Hanani Project Management service.

As all projects are expected to deliver to an allocated budget, our project finance service provides peace of mind by ensuring strict project financial management is adhered to during project delivery. Our Project Finance service produces a project cost management plan that sets out the format and establishes the criteria for planning, structuring, estimating, budgeting and controlling project costs.

The important relationship between the time and cost aspects of project performance is key for all our project undertakings. In reviewing performance against a set cost plan we are able to create meaningful financial reports and recommend appropriate forms of corrective action where necessary.

Our Project Finance service component is focused on delivering on the following benefits:

• Budgetary estimating and planning
• Budgetary control
• Variance analysis and management reporting
• Benefits measurement and review
• Continuous project financial reporting for management decision making

Project Risk Management

One of Hanani’s flagship offerings is a comprehensive Hanani Project Risk Management service line that ensures an unbiased, independent and expert review of project risks.
