Project Management
Services for the Banking Industry
Due to profitability considerations banks and financial institutions are constantly adapting to new challenges, introducing new products, or striving to meet changing legal requirements.
These developments are usually carried out in the framework of projects of various sizes, and a project manager with a thorough knowledge of the bank’s operations and the given field is essential for supervising and managing the process.
Without proper leadership, even the most qualified project team cannot achieve the set goal on its own.
MINDSPIRE Consulting offers full-scale, professional project management services to its clients in the banking and financial services segment.
Challenges in IT project management in the financial sector
Projects of financial institutions can be of different nature, such as:
- IT developments,
- Organizational transformation activities,
- Data migration tasks,
- Fusion efforts,
- Portfolio acquisitions,
- Compliance.
Furthermore, when several projects are running simultaneously, it may also be necessary to create roles for the project portfolio management, program management and project office functions.
There are situations when it is easier and safer for banks and financial institutions to rely on experienced external firms and project management consultants to ensure a successful outcome.
In order to identify such situations, it is worth considering the following questions.
Is necessary internal expertise available to properly manage the project?
Can high-risk implementations be managed without external project management support?
Are there sufficient internal resources available for project planning, management and quality assurance?
Is the bank planning to implement a highly complex, complicated program consisting of a network of projects?
Can the organization respond in time to project management challenges that require an immediate solution?
If at least one of the above questions results in a negative response, it is worthwhile for the bank to consider involving external experts who have project management experience with similar type and complexity endeavors at financial institutions.
