Embedded Systems and IoT Project Management Services
Full-Service Project Management for Simple to Complex Initiatives
USA Firmware sets itself apart from the competition with its thorough approach to managing embedded and IoT projects. We follow a time-tested process to take projects from initial concept to final delivery. Our experienced project managers build a project plan that monitors and steers its execution, while keeping the client fully informed with regular status updates. Our process focuses on both the client and our development team having the same set of shared expectations at all times.
Our process
Project Planning & Roadmap
Our project managers lead a thorough technical assessment of our client’s requirements. Senior members of our engineering staff are brought into the conversation to understand the details and create work breakdowns and effort estimates that will serve as the project’s roadmap.
Project Execution
Once work on a project begins, USA Firmware project managers keep watch over what we call the project management triangle: budget, schedule and scope. Changes in any of these aspects affect the other two aspects, so our experienced project managers keep them in balance. We encourage collaboration among the team and with the client, meeting frequently to check status and avoid roadblocks.
If plans change, we implement our proven change order process. We carefully document the necessary adjustments and ensure complete alignment of all parties’ expectations before implementing requested changes.
Project Status Reporting
We keep our clients up to date on project status with regular meetings to review and discuss the current outlook of the budget and schedule. Our project forecasts are updated weekly, so any problems are exposed promptly. We believe in being transparent with our clients because transparency reduces costly communication errors.
