The ManageIT methodology is the Decision Interface approach to providing a fast, yet well-defined, path to the realization of a client’s business objectives. In each stage of this structured methodology, the goal is to facilitate an interactive exchange of information with the client to best understand, design, and implement the project.

Each stage of the methodology is a discrete building block and can either stand-alone or be integrated into an ongoing project. The stages of the ManageIT methodology culminate in a comprehensive deliverable being provided to the client with no requirement that Decision Interface be utilized for subsequent stages that are unique to the project. However, based on the quality of the deliverable and the expertise of the staff, Decision Interface expects to be the client partner of choice for all project stages, as well as for a continuing relationship beyond the completion of the project.
 
The ManageIT methodology is a guideline to providing Decision Interface associates with a common high-level process flow, standardized deliverables, structured stages/phases, and consistent terms that can be used for a wide variety of projects. These are not hard requirements defining what has to be done but guidelines defining what is recommended to provide consistency and best practice recommendations. The stages, phases, tasks, and deliverables defined are such that they can be reused and restructured with the flexibility to deviate as a project warrants. However, it is the ManageIT methodology that should offer a common high-level terminology, repository structure, and deliverable styles that are consistent on all Decision Interface projects.

Due to the wide diversity of the Decision Interface offerings and skills, there are different flavors of this ManageIT methodology, referred to as models. There is only one ManageIT methodology but there are numerous models containing the same core deliverables and tasks. However, within these different models there are additional deliverables and tasks added, that uniquely define how to best manage a project based on the model specific flavor.

There are several different ManageIT models that Decision Interface can provide, i.e., ManageIT models for ASP, Infrastructure, and Web Development projects that include the same stages with many of the same phases and deliverables, but also include more specific phases and additional deliverables that are best practice recommendations for each specific model. It is important to note that the different models provide recommendations but allow Project Managers the freedom to adjust their work plans to allow for model/project specific duration, overlaps, tasks, and schedules.
