Program Management

Effective program management is essential to achieving the objectives of utility implementation and operations programs. In this regard, Danovo Energy Solutions has developed a program management approach that is based on the following main components:

Through staff augmentation and embedded project managers, a cohesive team can be established that promotes a close working relationship and transfer of knowledge between utility counterpart personnel and the associated members of the project team.
Utilization of Danovo Energy Solution’s enhanced process and management tools customized to meet the needs of the client utility.

Qualified Subject Matter Experts

Danovo Energy Solutions SMEs can support a utility in all aspects of emerging technologies, including DER integration, storage, communications, and new technology integration. To see this in practice, consider our work with Commonwealth Edison.

Case Study: Commonwealth Edison (ComEd)

Danovo Energy Solutions has provided staff augmentation, embedded project managers, and process and tool enhancements to support ComEd’s Smart Grid and Emerging Technology group. Support was provided in the areas of microgrids, distribution, and technology laboratory support, as well as DER, storage, and technology roadmaps. Management and support of DOE projects were also performed.

Program Management Support Areas

Staff Augmentation

We have a vast knowledge base of subject matter experts (SMEs), who can work onsite with utility personnel to promote a transfer of knowledge between the utility counterpart personnel and Danovo Energy Solutions SMEs.

The utility will be responsible for directing work, with the support and supervision of Danovo Energy Solutions management, to assure appropriate support.
On-site experts have independent, objective, and practical advice and solutions.

Embedded Project Managers

We can provide on-site embedded project managers to work with utility staff and accomplish project implementation objectives within schedule and budget.
We have an internal “lessons-learned” process that forms part of the project review.

Project staffing with the right skillsets and availability of the staff are two of the primary constraints that a Danovo Energy Solution's Project Manager needs to review.
To manage these constraints effectively, the Danovo Energy Solution's project manager toolset provides mechanisms to manage challenges, such as: Risk register-strategies for mitigating risks, ability to track labor and other expenses, and capability to compare planned vs. actual expenditures.

Process and Tool Enhancements

Danovo Energy Solutions has a project management tool that can be customized to meet the utility client’s needs. Attributes of the tool include tracking and processing charter data such as team, task, schedule, project dashboard, and resource loading.

With this tool, the Project Manager can revisit resource availability to identify and resolve conflicts and coordinate with utility management to ensure optimal project staffing and control.
