PROJECT Management Issues Faced by Business Today
Projects are driven by the need for the businesses to support long term strategies
or in some cases from legislative requirements. To achieve business benefits the
organization must choose projects, which are aligned with their business strategy.
Successful Projects have a Strong PMO to Ensure Effective Management Of People
- To ensure that the right people perform the right roles at the right time. Of
Processes – To ensure that project structure and processes provide the most efficient
means of delivering the business benefits. And of Tools - To ensure the Project
Managers have the information they need when they need it. These three areas can
only be effectively managed at the project management level, and need to be managed
properly to enable successful delivery of the project’s objectives. It is easier
to invest time and effort in managing these areas than to spend money later on correcting
errors. Assessing the Current Condition
The organization must decide on, and establish, a relevant project culture, style
and identity. An infrastructure must be defined and established that will support
and sustain the desired culture, style and identity. Consulting services are available
to review the current organization to understand at what level project management
has been adopted. (As-Is environment - PM maturity level). Once the review has been
completed, work with senior management to identify the various options available
to them, based on their needs and ability to adopt change.
