years. Legally and financially, yes, but not
structurally and economically.Peter Drucker,

  recognised standard practice unified and mandated
  to all

Someone Realised That

• Late Projects Financial Penalties which eat
  into margins and effect profitability
• Late projects can impact time to market and
  market share which can equal share price/company
  value.
• Projects that are completed by overusing
  resources to meet unrealistic deadlines equals
  disgruntled employees

21
What do our customers tell us today?

• We MUST get to market quicker
• We must get to market in the most cost
  effective way.
• We must understand our projects and their
  plans for execution
• We must continue to improve our risk
  management
• Each Project must deliver returns as close to
  original expectations as possible. If not, we
  must be able to make go/no-go decisions!

4 Key Elements To Project Management

• Resources
• How are we using our people?
• Are we using them enough?
• Do we have enough people to do the work?
• Can we use our people better?
• According to GIGA resources spend in excess of
  50 of their time on non planned work.

4 Key Elements To Project Management

Resources Today, the proper use of WBS means that
everyone is a project manager. How the
information from those WBS elements is fed back
through the organisation is of huge
importance. We believe that Employees need to be
empowered to work, rank and prioritise (within
company guidelines) to enable them to add value
at each level within the organisation.

4 Key Elements To Project Management

• Best Practices/Knowledge Share
• Have we done this before?
• Reuse success
• Continue to Improve procedures and methods
• Improve resource efficiency
• If you cannot improve your organization your
  competition will improve their position.

26
4 Key Elements To Project Management

• Knowledge Share/Best Practices
• We see the value of skilled employees and cost of
  training within companies spiraling out of
  control. There has to be a way to take
  information from peoples heads and maintain it
  within the organization.
• Learn from your own mistakes/success as well as
  your competitors

27
4 Key Elements To Project Management

• Portfolio Management
• Earned Value Analysis
• Early indicators for project health
  
• Live, up to date information
• Smooth, fast, decision making process
• By having a list of all of your projects you can
  reduce project costs by 15 standish group.

28
4 Key Elements To Project Management

• Portfolio Management
• Organisations must keep their finger on what they
  are doing but more importantly why. If we could
  restart all of our projects today how many would
  we still go ahead and do?
• The biggest waste of project spend is on projects
  which are completed on time and on budget but are
  of no strategic value to the business

29
4 Key Elements To Project Management

• Execution
• Performance calculations
• What If Analysis
• Relate resources to time and cost information
• Strong progress reporting and graphical data
• The difference between a company and its
  competitor is the ability to execute Jack Welsch.

• Execution
• 72 Of Projects Fail
• 50 Under go one restart
• Once you have decided which projects to do and
  who should do them. You must DO THEM!

31
Project Management Today

• By this stage everyone is involved
• Schedules must be owned by people doing the
  work
• People must have understood the scope and goals
  and sign up to them
• Aggressive schedules are OK
• Companies must have a recognized way to review
  projects and handle scope changes
• Team Members must be motivated to take part in
  the process
