FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT TIMELINE DO PROJECTS OPERATE ON?
Propel has two project cycles each year. Projects typically begin in late September during the Fall semester, in late February during the Winter semester, and then our Client Acquisitions and Onboarding process begins in May during the summer. Project engagements typically last 8-12 weeks, depending on each project's unique requirements.
HOW ARE PROJECT TEAMS STRUCTURED?
Project teams consist of 1 project manager and 4-5 business analysts, and 1 senior project advisor. Project managers communicate with clients as frequently as is productive. Each project has two major deliverables with the whole Propel team and the client. First is the midpoint presentation, where clients see the progress of the project thus far and share any adjustments or questions they'd like to see considered moving forward. Second is the final deliverable, which presents our final conclusions and recommendations.
​
Project managers and business analysts are assigned to projects based on their professional backgrounds, skillsets, and interests, and how closely they align with our clients' needs and the scope of work for the project.
WHAT TYPES OF CLIENTS DOES PROPEL TAKE ON?
