Our approach to project management begins with applying the requisite knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet or exceed a project stakeholder's needs and expectations. Competing demands of scope, quality, time, cost, stakeholders' differing priorities and expectations, as well as other unidentified expectations must be balanced. Castagna Consulting Group achieves this balance by using the following project management knowledge areas (and their underlying management processes):

• Scope management
• Time management
• Communications management
• Procurement management
• Contract management
• Dispute management
• Cost management

Castagna Consulting Group develops overall integrated master programs for management of budgets, expenditures, and schedules to achieve the most effective use of available time and resources. Castagna Consulting Group has extensive experience developing and implementing project management and control systems on major public and private projects. We understand the critical need for a comprehensive controls program that controls scope and cost and that maintains the schedule on our client's programs and projects. Castagna Consulting Group also understands the importance of keeping all stakeholders informed of the program's status. By working closely with our clients, Castagna Consulting Group can implement a project management and control system that ensures the program is constructed with the most effective budget and time sensitive approach possible.
