BIT. Project Management

White Paper: IT Project Management

2023: Presentation of the Project Management Solution

The international integrator of IT solutions "First Bit" on August 31, 2023 released a comprehensive solution for organizing project work.

"BIT. Project Management" is a software and methodological complex based on Russian software. Unlike typical boxed solutions, BIT Project Management includes not only software, but also an extensive methodology developed by experienced project managers.

The complex is conditionally divided into four modules.

IT - classic Waterfall, flexible Agile, as well as hybrid options that suit the needs of a particular business. All according to GOST and best practices PMBoK from the Project Management Institute. Software - selection and implementation of the best domestic solutions, not limited to one software product.

The Mentoring and Training module is an authoring system of consulting support and mentorship based on world methodological practices. At the courses, students learn the basics of methodology, tools in the form of templates, gain practical experience in working with tools. All records remain with the client to give him the opportunity to train new employees. They can be made system-oriented - for example, based on "1C: Document Flow" or "1C: Project Management."

The latest optional module is Project Managment outsourced. The first Bit can provide the client with an experienced manager who will take over all aspects of the project: from planning to execution and control.

As a result, the business receives not just a Russian replacement for Trello, Jira, Redmine or Microsoft Project, but turnkey business processes of project work for a company of any scale.

The product "BIT. Project Management" was born as an answer to the difficulties that arose within the First Bit itself. The company is running more than 300 long-term projects at the same time. Leaving the country of leading foreign vendors has become a trigger for finding domestic analogues and revising the design methods used, "said Yuli Minkin, head of the project activities department of the IT integrator First Bit.

In the process of work, there was a difficulty in consolidating information and obtaining reports. There was no single system, standards for project management, a single knowledge base and project libraries. Offices conducted their projects in different software products of various vendors. Thus, the issue of creating a corporate project management system became very acute.

As a result, the IT integrator created a comprehensive solution for methodological support of projects using the 1C: Document Flow program. It was also integrated with all accounting systems used in the company: 1S:ZUP, self-described ERP and the Bitrix corporate portal 24. This made it possible to automate, unify and optimize design procedures in different offices of the company.

After the introduction of "BIT. Project Management," as a manager, I had the opportunity to plan the budget of the project program, maintain a payment calendar for all projects to plan MDD, load projects, etc. And everything is in one place - I consider this the main result of the introduction of automation systems, - said Dmitry Malyuk, head of the project office of Gagarinskaya, Novosibirsk, First Bit.
