Assuring Program Success
Projects are seldom designed for success because of decisions made early in the planning phases such as:
- Business alignment is not fully developed
- Required staff or skills are not available
- Requirements are unclear or incomplete
- Budget is reduced but committed functional outcomes are not equally reduced
- Leader assignments are based on the leader’s recent successes rather than their diverse experiences and portfolio of successes
Unfortunately, many leaders treat the symptoms, or worse, ignore the symptoms and start believing they will bring the project back to green on their own without taking any material remedial actions.
Projects can be managed many ways, but only the successful ones have these characteristics in common:
- Full transparency and understanding of key lagging and leading indicators that accurately describe project health
- Executive alignment between the program, IT and business leadership
- Operational alignment on budgets across fiscal years
- Resource alignment on not only headcount but on having the right skills
- Excellent functional understanding of the requirements and their complexities
- Solid project estimation based on agreed upon assumptions, scope and risk
PTS Partners believes every program can start and finish with excellence when the above characteristics are present. If your program is showing signs of stress our Program Health Assessment and Plan will get you back on track and Program Success Management will keep it there.
