At EDG, we develop and execute your project in carefully planned stages designed to minimize risk and maximize return on investment. The gated work process begins with the initial identification stage, whereby our team of professionals determines the feasibility of a project and aligns it with the appropriate business strategy. Continuing through the remaining Front-End Loading (FEL) stages, the project then advances to concept selection and definition, during which preferred development options are selected, project scope, cost and schedule are finalized, and the project is funded.

Following the FEL stages are implementation and, ultimately, operations. At these stages of the project’s life, execution occurs according to the previously established project scope, cost and schedule, and asset-ensuring performance carries the project into a fully functional operations mode.

Before a project moves to the next stage, it must meet established criteria for its current stage as determined by the corresponding project team(s). EDG has extensive experience in coaching project teams on performing optimal work activities at the right times within the process. Our solid project support helps project teams ensure the greatest value for their projects.
