A Phased Approach to Project Management Implementation
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
Implementing a formalized project management process in an organization that does not have a history of using a structured approach to project planning and control can present significant challenges. A phased approach to implementation is a crucial element of a successful implementation strategy because… it helps overcome resistance to change, allows lessons learned in early phases to be incorporated in the systems installed in later phases, and ensures that a solid foundation of project-level data is available prior to rolling-up enterprise-level information. Resistance to change is a well-documented phenomenon. And, we know from experience that the implementation of structured project planning and...

Project Management in a Down Economy
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
Each year, companies execute projects for the purpose of improving their bottom-line and expanding their competitive advantage. The difference between success and failure often depends on how committed organizations are in utilizing project management to monitor and control schedule delays. Schedule delays are the villain in project management and are the biggest cause of budget overruns, missed deadlines, and poor quality. During good economic times, investing in project management is financially feasible and acceptable by most companies. However, during bad economic times, project management is considered an overhead cost and the tendency is to downsize. This paper discusses the importance...

Software is a Tool, Not the Answer to Project Planning & Control
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
No matter what the job is at hand, great tools in the hands of a trained professional will lead to exceptional results. But what about providing great tools to an untrained person? Would you expect comparable results? The answer is a resounding NO! If this is true, then why do some people believe that having good project management software tools will make them good project managers and ultimately lead to successful projects? The missing variable in this equation is a sound project management methodology to guide them through the planning and control process. Engraining a sound project management methodology in your...

Documentation Tips: Archival
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
At the end of each project, it’s important to ensure your documentation – including e-mails, invoices, contracts, schedules, diagrams and anything else related to the project – can be easily located, retrieved, searched and referenced later. Format and location Transfer all project-related documentation into formats suitable for long-term storage, and identify a single location for archival of electronic records, with a corresponding physical location for hard copy materials. Store materials electronically where possible, and prepare hard copy materials in a medium suitable for archival (i.e., tapes, acid-free paper, etc.) Originals Some original documents, such as contracts, insurance policies and regulatory materials, may require archival...

Project Management : The Power of the Checklist
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
Good resource management keeps the project team running at full speed. Vendors and collaborators may change from project to project, and even from phase to phase, but checklists ensure your team knows the resources that are needed at any given time, and where to find them. Maintaining supplies, managing documentation and quickly locating a properly outfitted meeting space can all be facilitated through the use of checklists. The minimalist concept of a task list evolves handily into a running steady-state report when used in a project setting. Activity checklists that are continuously maintained can be vital resources in the event a...

Project Management: Master the Restart
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
Many projects delayed by the sour economy will eventually bubble back to the surface. The landscape may have changed drastically since shelving the project, so a thorough reassessment of the project’s parameters is in order. Objectives Don’t assume your original objectives are still valid. Changes in organizational structure, headcount, locations, collaborators, competitors and market all have the potential to affect your objective picture. Examine each target against today’s needs, and adjust accordingly. Schedule Your original timeframe may have been based on factors that are no longer relevant. Contemporaneous projects, budget cycles, stakeholder expectations, availability of contractors, leadtime for materials, regulatory deadlines and other external...

Project Management Tips: Read for Success
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
Business publications come in every flavor, from glossies aimed at C-level executives to no-frills journals written for those on the front lines of everyday operations. With the seeming overabundance of available trade magazines, it’s easy to narrow your focus to 2 or 3 that most closely speak to your needs, and leave it at that. Busy project managers have little extra time as it is, but by expanding your industry reading – even if only occasionally – you have greater opportunity to cultivate resources, establish contacts, discover tools and identify emerging trends. Reading about industries other than your own can introduce you...

Wordpress ..usable beyond blogging?
Posted by philippe bodart about 5 months ago
It is widely accepted that Wordpress is an excellent system when you want your ideas out quickly on the web. It is therefore often used as a blog, because you are out there quickly, but Wordpress can be configured in many different ways. Wordpress is extremely easy to use and setup. It can of course work as a blog, comments are already built into the system, as well as pinging services, multiple blogger profiles, trackbacks and common features you might expect from a blog. Most of the functionality is out of the box, and works as expected without the need of customization. But the fact that customization was not the key...

Conducting a Useful Post Mortem Analysis
Posted by PM Alliance about 5 months ago
Once a project is complete, take some time to review what was successful and what needs improvement. By evaluating each project in retrospect, you’ll be able to apply the lessons learned to future endeavors. Communication Good communication provides team members, stakeholders and end users with information that is clear, concise, relevant and timely. Using these 4 criteria, evaluate e-mails, memos and other communications that were circulated in support of your project. Confirm your team is using descriptive subject lines; that communications were sent at the right time; and that your distribution lists were inclusive without unnecessarily flooding anyone’s inbox. Documentation Projects not only generate...
