Kerri brought order to a chaotic process. In a company which often had very poor communication & planning, leaving our IT department in fits just trying to fulfill our responsibilities, Kerri was a stellar example of showing how all of us could rise to a new level of quality & cooperation.

Large Scale / Custom Website Projects

Large-scale or custom websites are often best developed by an agency. It is sometimes in the best interest of business owners to designate a project manager (staff or freelance) to manage the project and communicate with the agency on behalf of the company. Kerri Karel, President of Key Elements can serve as your project manager and communicate with their creative and development teams.

Custom Software Development Projects

Some businesses require custom software to run their business.  The cost for this type of project is significant.  Certainly, it is wise to have an experienced  project manager looking out for the best interest of your company. The project manager will act as the liaison between your company and the software developer.

We can manage all key elements of custom software projects. Additionally she can act as the communication bridge between business executives and the development firm.

Out-of-the-Box Software

There are times when a business owner is not sure what type of software they need or which vendor to select. We will guide your organization to evaluate what you need and assist in writing a well-planned request for proposal (RFP). 

On the other hand, many businesses contract for SAAS or on-site installations of existing software. Software companies will often assign their own project managers to your installation.  However, many business owners want someone on “their” side to manage the project. We have served as a project manager in situations like this.
