There are certain criteria that are critical to the success of any project. These are defined as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which must be tracked and controlled through out the project to ensure success. Nisum takes a holistic approach towards Project Management as defined in CMMI's Integrated Project Management. As a part of project management we perform the following activities with rigor –

• Requirements Management
  Facilitate Rationale Management and Bidirectional Traceability and maintain related artifacts
• Project Planning
  • Perform Project Scoping
  • Perform Project Estimation
• Project Monitoring and Control
  • Track Effort and Schedule Variance
  • Manage Milestones
  • Analyze Review Rate, Defect Density and Defect leakage
  • Measure Productivity
  • Measure Cost of Quality and Rework
  • Track risks and mitigate them
  • Measure Cost Budget Ratio
• Product and Process Quality Assurance
  Develop a framework to ensure quality across all project activities
• Configuration Management
  Perform Configuration Identification, Configuration Control, Configuration Status Accounting and Configuration Audits
• Organizational Process Focus and Organization Process Definition
  Establish and maintain a usable set of organizational process assets, lifecycle models, standardize processes, tailoring guidelines
• Risk Management
  Identify potential problems before they occur so that risk handling activities may be planned and invoked as needed to mitigate adverse impacts on the project.
