Case Studies

Project: Percussion WCMS implementation

Challenge: SOAS’s CMS installation was severely behind schedule and under resourced, with the project team understandably lacking motivation.

Solution: In order to restore momentum and direction to the project, Odin Solutions took the following steps:

A current position analysis, in order to identify exactly how much progress had been made.

Key priority identification, in order to highlight the specific tasks which, once completed, would provide the most visible progress and restore momentum

On-site deployment of resources, in order to rapidly turn around development tasks

Refocusing of the project plan to provide;
  - Clear definition of work streams
  - Accurate and comprehensive listing of tasks
  - Clear allocation of resources
  - Realistic application of deadlines
  - Regular opportunities for feedback and communication amongst team members

After completing the development work, Odin devised and delivered a content author training programme for both the academic and administrative users.

"Our web development project was experiencing serious difficulties; we were coping with the removal of key resources, our project management was undefined and our technical team highly demoralised.

By employing a combination of confident leadership and exceptional technical expertise, Odin were able to turn the project around in a matter of days. By refocusing the project plan and deploying our resources creatively and efficiently, they quickly delivered key development objectives, restoring the momentum of the project and the morale of the team.

Put simply, we would not have been able to affect such a dramatic turnaround without their considerable skills and support."
