Project Management
Bronner uses its Project Management Process to facilitate the timely and efficient achievement of each project engagement objective. Bronner will analyze project work plans to help ensure that variations in individual task schedules are reflected throughout the work plan and the impacts of those variations are minimized. Bronner will identify adjustments to help minimize the impact on the overall project schedule.
Program Oversight and Quality Control
Bronner Quality Control monitors and ensures, across all projects, how well the projects are being managed and ensures that quality is set into every aspect of the project. Bronner Quality Control includes establishment of a Quality Plan, defining and measuring Quality Metrics, performing Quality Assurance Reviews, and developing Continuous Improvement Plans.
Management Reporting
Management Reporting encompasses the ongoing reporting of project status at all levels of management. Written status reports typically include: progress of work performed to date, milestones achieved, deliverables completed, problems encountered and corrective action taken, project work plan updates including any client initiated changes, and objectives scheduled for the next reporting period, including specific tasks, milestones, and deliverables.
Staff Utilization Analysis
Bronner will monitor, track, and analyze project team resources throughout each engagement to ensure the most efficient and effective utilization of all staff resources.

Task Management
Bronner will lead ongoing and routine monitoring of the project plan, and is designed to enhance the overall quality of project of work.
Cost Management
Bronner will establish and manage strong internal controls to ensure strict adherence to each project budget. Project costs are reviewed on a regular basis and any potential deviations or trends are identified, discussed, and resolved prior to their actual occurrence.
Project Change Management Analysis
Bronner will effectively incorporate and respond to both planned and unplanned changes, which occur throughout project work.
Risk Management
Bronner's Risk Management defines how the Bronner team manages risks during its projects. Bronner defines a risk as the cumulative effect of the chances of an occurrence that will negatively affect project objectives. Bronner's approach to risk management attempts to identify risks that need closer project attention, develop remediation plans, and act upon them.
