Key to Communication

ACS has a clear focus on professional project management. To this end we have a full time, dedicated, project manager. Good project management requires communication and control. We use set of standard templates to support the process of project management.

Project Repository

All of the templates are available in the project repository. The standard project management documentation includes:

Deliverables register

  • Project plan

  • Project reports - usually weekly

  • Change control register

  • Change control detailed forms

  • Issues register

  • Received acknowledgement register.

Task Control work flow

ACS uses a task control work flow application to manage change control and variance logs. This is particularly important where the development team is distributed geographically, or involves several partners, including the client's IT department. The task control application manages outstanding items of work, to whom it is assigned to, for approvals, and code dependencies. These can be identified during testing, or through peer review of project components.


The project management process is customized based on the project and client requirements. We have found that the client's expectation and valuation of project management varies dramatically. Ask us about some examples of project management documentation.
