Project Management

Written By John Domenichelli

Precision in Motion:

In today’s high-stakes utility, infrastructure, and technology environments, effective project management isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. At JD Forward Strategies (JDFS), we don’t just oversee projects—we drive them with clarity, control, and measurable results from initiation through closeout.

With more than $1B in successful infrastructure and technology projects delivered, we’ve served as the acting PMO for hundreds of concurrent programs across regulated utilities, public agencies, and commercial clients. Our reputation is built on accountability, transparency, and execution—and that’s no accident.

Built on PMI Methodologies—Refined for the Real World

JDFS drive to globally recognized standards developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI) with a WAGILE™ approach, aligning our approach with the PMBOK® Guide and associated best practices. From stakeholder engagement to risk management, our teams follow disciplined processes that promote consistency, scalability, and compliance—especially critical in regulated sectors.

We tailor each engagement using PMI’s framework across the five process groups:

  • Initiating: Define objectives, success metrics, and governance structures.

  • Planning: Develop detailed schedules, risk strategies, and resource plans.

  • Executing: Mobilize cross-functional teams and manage performance.

  • Monitoring & Controlling: Enforce scope, cost, and quality controls with real-time data.

  • Closing: Drive project completion, final approvals, and knowledge transfer.

But we don’t stop there.

The WAGILE™ Advantage

Our proprietary WAGILE™ methodology builds on PMI fundamentals by introducing a hybrid delivery model that’s engineered for modern complexity. WAGILE™ fuses the predictability of Waterfall with the adaptability of Agile, enabling faster delivery, higher quality, and fewer change orders—especially in multidisciplinary projects where software, construction, and regulatory compliance intersect.

WAGILE™ delivers:

  • Defined scope, milestones, and QA checkpoints (Waterfall)

  • Rapid iteration and stakeholder feedback loops (Agile)

  • Accelerated timelines with higher first-pass yield

Whether we’re integrating a grid communication system, upgrading security infrastructure, or modernizing enterprise IT, WAGILE™ ensures that strategy stays aligned with execution—at every stage.
