TEBIN is a fast-growing startup that experienced a substantial increase in the number of clients and active projects. In order to cope with the growth challenge, the Client needed project management optimization and a significant change in portfolio management processes.
Our best project management practices and portfolio management consulting enabled TEBIN to improve precision of project cost forecasts by 5 times, get more control over delivery processes, and manage changes in a more efficient way. This resulted in avoiding losses & improving operational efficiency by 30%.
The assignment started with an idea that advanced project delivery processes we use at Sigma Software can be equally effective when applied to engineering business. We benchmarked TEBIN project delivery and estimation processes against our in-house project management practices, defined improvement areas, created corresponding procedures, and guidelines.
It helped the Client shape core project delivery processes according to their business specifics, avoid lost profits, and maintain all projects at a healthy profitability level.
TEBIN is an innovative consulting company with a mission to change the civil engineering industry in Ukraine. No wonder they were open to challenging common approaches by doing things in a new, different, and more efficient way.
Some of the changes introduced were quite unconventional for the engineering business. Even though we were confident in the value they can bring, we cautiously piloted and iterated concepts together with the Client several times till they perfectly fit their workflow and needs.
As a result of the project, TEBIN switched to a well-designed and documented framework tailored for project estimation, planning & management efficiency.
This enables the Client to plan the projects, monitor their execution, identify negative trends, take preventive actions, and have more control over the projects’ loss ratio. This has already helped TEBIN to bring every project in the portfolio to a profitable level.

Civil engineering is a very conservative industry and sometimes relies on outdated practices. We decided to learn new methods of doing work from our partners at Sigma Software as we found many similarities between our industries. I was fascinated to learn new approaches and see how they work in real life. Together we initiated a very ambitious transformation of our company and, in quite a short time, already achieved great results.

I was thrilled how dedicated TEBIN’s senior management was to improving their management system. We started with initial processes maturity assessment, which helped us to understand what could be improved first to get the benefits as soon as possible. We are working iteratively, identifying what can be changed, adopting a change, reviewing results, getting feedback, and moving on to the next area.
