What Is Technical
Management?
Technical management is
usually within the scope of the product manager and the
engineering project manager but often these key people rely on
their engineering staff for this critical function. Technical
management insures that the following question have the right
answers:
|
Do the project's
various technologies fit together in a well balanced way?
|
|
Will the design
approach meet the functional specifications without going
overboard? |
|
What areas of the
design technology are risky and to what degree? What are
the fall back positions or backup plans? |
|
What areas of the
design have the potential to adversely impact the
schedule, development cost and product cost? |
|
What is the best
delegation of design responsibilities given the resources
available? In what technology areas would additional
resources have the best overall impact? |
|
|
Which design tasks can
proceed concurrently? What are the risks associated with
concurrent development? |
What Does It Cost?
NOTHING - but it's really
expensive to not constantly question these issues. We bring years
of experience to the table on every project big or small to help
with these issues.
When we are involved in a project we are very involved. We treat
clients as business partners; i.e. we take a personal interest in
your success.
