What is good Project Management?

Project Manager - but no robust plan

Blind faith is great while it lasts !

The Project Manager has to be equipped to drive the project to successful delivery. Our process gives them just what they need:

  • an integrated process that relates project activities clearly to business value
  • clearly defined project roles and responsibilities
  • clear tracking of progress based on well-defined deliverables
  • control over quality at each stage of the process
  • control over risk

An IT Project is a business investment. It must have clearly defined objectives that can be directly traced to a business need. Without these the project won't get the backing it needs from senior management. At any time during the project, the Project Manager must be ready and able to demonstrate its value.

Many projects bumble along in an unseemly way because the lack of project objectives or business benefit is not robustly challenged when it should be. It is the responsibility of the IT Project Manager, working with the lead analyst, to ensure that they have a robust business case and clear project objectives. Our process will expose such deficiencies.

An IT Project Manager should be able to demonstrate at any time how they will deliver the project objectives. This demands that they have a clear plan of work with defined deliverables and skills requirements. And in turn this means they need a well-defined and proven process. For us, progress is measured in terms of deliverables produced and validated, not by time and effort spent.
