“We have a process, but don’t ask me what it is!”
When I ask if an organization has project management processes, this is the response I usually get. Companies are so busy GETTING work done, they rarely focus on HOW it’s getting done. Your processes are a corporate asset and a strategic advantage. We can help develop solutions across your company’s strategy lifecycle.
Common issues I see are:
- Communication breakdowns
- Team members don’t understand theirs or others roles and responsibilities
- No understanding of the dependencies or timeline of those dependencies, especially when working with outside vendors
- Don’t understand how the project fits into the “Big Picture”
- Lack or no project sponsor or senior leadership engagement
- Domain experts are stretched too thin across too many projects
- Poor project definition and requirements, welcoming the dreaded “scope creep”
These process issues, and many more ,can be resolved following four simple steps.
- Assess: Understand what your process is, what’s working well, and what could be done better
- Design: By understanding the current state, identify pain points and prioritize them for resolution
- Implement: With our list prioritized, utilize the ADD-Vantage process to implement change
- Monitor: Implemented doesn’t always mean done! We’ll put tools in place to monitor process changes and make enhancements in the future.
