<br /> <br />PROJECT MANAGEMENT, continued <br /> <br />MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING <br /> <br />Details about Avalanche Consulting's project management process are provided in the "Project Set Up" <br />description on page 5. To review: <br /> <br />We will utilize a mix of personal, telephone, and Internet systems for ensuring open <br />communication and efficient project management from beginning to end. Our system is tried and <br />true. <br /> <br />At the beginning of the project, we will establish a Project Steering Committee that is responsible <br />for providing input and reviewing deliverables. We will meet with the Steering Committee during <br />each of our trips to La Porte. <br /> <br />We will ask the City to assign a staff member or associate to serve as our primary point of contact <br />throughout the project. <br /> <br />A project milestones calendar will be developed at the beginning of the proj ect to establish travel <br />dates, draft, and final report deadlines. <br /> <br />We will schedule bi-monthly conference calls with City / project leaders in which we provide <br />project updates, discuss upcoming action items, and answer questions. <br /> <br />We will provide the City with written progress reports on a monthly basis. <br /> <br />We will establish a project management website utilizing Basecamp software. Each proj ect team <br />member will be provided with a user name and password to the website. The Basecamp service <br />offers password protected access to participants, such as Steering Committee members. It supplies a <br />live chat board function, message posting, and storage for online file sharing. <br /> <br />We will present draft reports to the City and Steering Committee, and allow up to two rounds of <br /> <br />revisions, prior to finalizing each report. <br /> <br />QUALIFICATIONS OF SENIOR CONSULTANTS <br /> <br />Amy Holloway, President, Avalanche Consulting <br />Roles: Client Point of Contact, Team Manager, Public Input, Strategy Development <br />amy@avalancheconsulting.net <br /> <br />Amy Holloway is the President and CEO of Avalanche Consulting, a strategic planning firm <br />headquartered in Austin, Texas.
