A key component of our approach to project management is clear and <br />frequent communication with the lead staff person. Negotiation of a specific Scope <br />of Work is important, to establish the expectations of all parties at the outset of work. <br />Regarding the monitoring of budgets, we have found it useful to set "not to exceed" <br />amounts for each task in a project, and to report monthly on "~ complete" for each <br />task to assure that there is accountability for financial management of a project. <br />KEY PERSONNEL <br />Two Clarion professionals will participate in this project.
