MANAGING DIRECTOR ANDREW FROST
Project Management
Andrew has spent much of the last 17 years working with and for major Defence projects, initially focusing on training and development projects. He has also worked for the last 6 years as a Requirements Manager and Project Manager at the heart of the Ministry of Defence's Information Technology procurement organisation.
He has been involved in several major Defence programmes and aspects of project work, particularly with financial and commercial officers to ensure delivery.
All his roles revolve around stakeholder engagement and management, liaising with stakeholders across Defence, both military and civilian at every level from strategic decision makers to shop-floor technicians.
Here at Cuckoo lane, we believe strongly than teamwork is at the heart of successful project and programme delivery. No individual has a monopoly on knowledge or expertise, and without shared trust amongst all team members, nothing can be achieved.
The key is always the success of the team and achievement of the task.
Requirements Management
The process of documenting, analysing, tracing, prioritising and agreeing on requirements to control change and communication to relevant stakeholders. It is a continuous process throughout a project.
Business Case Development
The application of critical thinking to add value to projects and/or programmes through the understanding of costs and resources needed. To establish the likely benefits to be derived upon completion, the possible risks that may occur during work and the assumptions behind the estimates.
Stakeholder Management
The systematic identification, analysis, planning and implementation of actions designed to engage with stakeholders.
Risk Management
The forecasting and evaluation of risks (financial, commercial, operational and strategic) together with the identification of procedures to mitigate their impact.
Benefits Management
The identification, planning, measuring and tracking of benefits from the start of programme or project investment until the realisation of the last projected benefit. It aims to make sure that the desired benefits are specific, measurable, agreed, realistic and time-bound.
Acceptance Management
A method by which the outputs of a project and/or the outcomes of a programme are reviewed and accepted by the customer based on pre-agreed Acceptance Criteria.
