Project and Program Management Using the ADD-vantage Process

ADD-vantage is a delivery system I have developed over my 25+ years of experience helping companies deliver maximum value with the projects and programs they undertake. The ADD-vantage process is simple and scalable to any business, and it puts an initiative in a position to succeed from the beginning.

Align –Ensure the project ALIGNS with your goals and organizational strategy.  The question “How does this project align with your strategy?” is often met with um’s and ah’s.  We will ensure the project delivers value and benefits the company’s “Big Picture.”

Design – Using a variety of project and program management best practices, we will DESIGN a right-sized approach for the project, one that is not burdensome with too many unnecessary steps or documents.  Have a process in place already?  Great! We’ll use that and give any feedback for improvements as we move through the project.

Deliver DELIVERY is where the rubber meets the road. It starts with an informative kickoff with project & program team members, as well as those impacted by the outcome, so they know what’s to come. This is followed by carefully monitoring progress, mitigating risks, and responding to issues or changes quickly. Completing a project is more than just a finished product or result.  People need to be informed, trained, communicated with repeatedly, and followed up with post-release.  We can craft a DELIVERY approach that not only rolls the project out but takes the people into consideration, also.

“I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Jason while he was managing a number of critical initiatives for our team. Jason is an excellent program manager who consistently delivers results. Jason was instrumental in the successful delivery of a number of key M&A related projects as well as complex international efforts that involved the coordination of a number of third parties and a distributed team working across different time zones. Working under challenging circumstances, Jason is a respected leader and team player who always remains focused on the end goal, finding ways to overcome challenges and setbacks and still deliver on time and under budget without sacrificing scope. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Jason again.”
