The Draper Team has developed comprehensive program and project management skills through their experience in complex and multi-faceted projects. These range from $173 million multi-team, multi-structure educational facilities to serving as the operational staff for one of the nation's most progressive housing authorities. Regardless of the environment or scope, we believe that without a comprehensive management plan, managers have only limited control over the many operations and interrelationships of their system's modules. For this reason, we will always develop Management Plans for all levels of the program and projects. The components of Draper Program Management Plans are:

These components are applied as necessary throughout the spectrum of services, from programs down to task-order projects. Draper & Associates conducts thorough research through interviews and interaction with their clients to develop programs that meet the near term, as well as long-range goals of the client. Special attention is given to the cultural and value systems of the client organization.

Once the overall Program Management plan is established, the foundation of the Draper program and project management methodologies can be implemented. To ensure timely and accurate completion of projects, execution of project scopes is facilitated through an aggressive and systematic reporting process. These processes are applicable to all facets of the design and construction continuum - from design to implementation.
