Projects and Programs

JustBlack Projects consultants are adept in various project delivery methodology and Frameworks. Depending on the client requirement we advise as well as work on the Waterfall, Agile, hybrid, Lean as well as incremental and iterative delivery.   

While specific methodologies and approaches may vary, these pillars are fundamental to effective project management across various industries and sectors. JustBlack Projects and Solutions endeavour to manage your Scope Management, Time, Cost, Quality, Risk and Communication effectively and efficiently in order for maximising the value of the delivery.  

Not limiting to the above core project management pillars, JustBlack Projects can also assist on acquiring, developing, and managing the project team to optimise performance and achieve project objectives. This includes activities such as resource planning, staffing, training, motivation, and performance evaluation to ensure that the right people with the right skills are assigned to the project. JustBlack Project team can assist in acquiring goods and services from external vendors or suppliers to support project needs. This pillar includes activities such as procurement planning, soliciting bids or proposals, selecting vendors, negotiating contracts, and managing vendor relationships to ensure that project requirements are met within budget and schedule constraints. 

Here are some of the key project management streams JustBlack consultants have engaged in within ICT, Software Development, Infrastructure Projects, IT Service Management (ITSM), Cybersecurity Projects, Data Management and Analytics Projects, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Digital Transformation Projects, Change Management, Business Process Improvement, and Business case creation.  

  • The traditional or waterfall approach follows a linear, sequential process where each phase of the project (e.g., initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure) is completed before moving to the next. Requirements are typically defined upfront, and changes may be challenging to accommodate once the project is underway.  

  • Agile is an iterative and incremental approach that emphasises flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback. Consultants are experienced in Agile methods such as Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP) promote adaptive planning, continuous improvement, and rapid response to change, making them well-suited for complex or evolving projects.

  • Blends elements of both traditional/waterfall and Agile methodologies to tailor the approach to the specific needs of the project.  

  • Lean project management focuses on maximising value and minimising waste by streamlining processes, eliminating inefficiencies, and optimising resources. Using Lean principles JustBlack ensures that customer projects in continuous improvement, visual management, and delivering customer value.  

  • Approach involves breaking down the project into smaller increments or iterations, with each iteration delivering a subset of the project's functionality. Using Incremental and iterative delivery allows for early delivery of value, frequent stakeholder feedback, and flexibility to adjust project scope and priorities based on evolving requirements. 

  • Approach aims to optimise resource utilisation and improve project performance by focusing on managing project constraints, particularly resource constraints. This methodology will assist in identifying and protecting critical project paths, buffering against uncertainties, and prioritising tasks based on their impact on project completion.
