The Importance of Project Management

When you’re looking for an agency to revitalize your brand, you want to be sure you’re picking the right team.

Looking at an agency’s portfolio will give you an immediate idea of their design style, and visiting their websites can show you the skills of their developers. If you like what you see, you might meet with their senior leadership and be impressed with their vision and dynamism.

But what about the team whose work isn’t on display? Enter the project managers: the team making sure your work happens on time and within budget. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to build a brand, or a marketing manager looking for an agency partner, we believe that a top-notch project management team is the difference between a successful launch and stressful delays.

Communication is Key

A project could be proceeding entirely as planned, but you’d have no way of knowing without effective communication from your agency. An effective project manager knows the importance of keeping stakeholders updated as milestones are achieved and work is completed. On top of that, good internal communication is what ensures that work continues to flow smoothly as it moves from design, to development, and into QA and production.

Our project management team has a proven history of excellence in communication, so you never have to wonder about your project’s progress. Here’s what one client had to say about working with our team:

“Your designs were beautiful of course, but I could just tell that you were going to really help with the project management for a major project like this. The other firms I knew I would have to be managing the project for them.”

Carefully Crafted Timelines

Before our designers open a Figma file or our developers write a line of code, our management team has gotten to work creating a timeline that maps out the arc of the project. Allotting the appropriate time for each phase of work is crucial for efficiency. Maintaining a high-level view of the project allows a manager to migrate work seamlessly between designers and developers, and keep updates flowing to our client all the while. If priorities shift or new requirements arise during the process, our PMs are ready to update that timeline and keep the process running smoothly.

We pride ourselves on our process, and on our ability to deliver top-notch work in a timely fashion. As one of our clients put it:

“Push10 has been really easy to work with throughout our brand and website project, and their process and follow-through have been extremely helpful in keeping our project on track.”

Client-First Perspective

Whether you’re creating a new brand from the ground up or just adding a new feature to your website, it can be easy to get caught up in the details. This is another area where project management can help. Veteran PMs will approach any problem by centering the most important thing: client satisfaction. When your agency is discussing design options or development requirements, you want to be sure there’s a voice in the room who understands your business goals. Our PMs are that voice, ensuring that all our decisions are guided by what would best serve our client’s needs. One of our clients said it best:

“It’s clear that their team truly listened and took the time to understand us and what makes us different, which is a unique quality.”

Bringing It All Together

Good project management isn’t just a nice-to-have. The best PMs make sure that you always get the highest quality work from your agency partner: work that’s clearly explained, delivered on time, and matched perfectly to your business’s needs.
