Project Management

Fidelity Electronics employs a relatively new paradigm in project management.  Management of technical projects requires a very detailed process that avoids the pitfalls most commonly seen in traditional project management practices. Technical projects are in a constant state of evolution and change. The project management team cannot realize the complete set of tasks required during the beginning or even during the middle of project development. Items such as rework, testing enhancement, and re-analysis are critical during all phases of project development. Without such a process, the management and development team cannot guarantee a product of utmost quality.

Fidelity Electronics talented and expert staff employs a project management strategy that reflects the technical development objectives. As such, the project management progress can be illustrated through binary components called ‘inch pebbles’ that can be thought of as mini milestones. These individualized tasks can take one to three days to complete and are marked as being completed or not completed to express project progress. This methodology avoids the 90% complete pitfall in which 90% complete expresses the conceptual task completion but does not address rework, new tasks added with development requirements discovery and inter-development analysis.
