Today's topic reminds me of an old carpenter's saying: "Measure twice and saw once."
Keeping a project on time and on budget is a lot like that.
I think a lot of senior managers in corporate project shops today are wondering how much budget they have left to get their projects done before the end of the world. They are having their direct reports do data collection in a quick and dirty scramble to get a guesstimate to kick upstairs...and so it goes.
How do you get the right number and stay on it until project completion? Always a salient question, but especially now as the money belt tightens around your neck! And a few more?
Where do they find the capability? - In their Project Management Office?
What technique(s) can they use? - Earned Value Analysis? Balanced Scorecard? Project Dashboard? Portfolio Management?
How can they afford it? - Offshore the work? - Asia? India? China?
When will the assessments and reviews be complete? - Who will scope the work? How will they scope it?
When can they get us back on track? - How do we get buy-in now so we can start to get well?!
These are just some of the questions I am asked on a daily basis from prospects and clients who are seeking a project management solution, coaching, training. I have been working on projects for over 25 years now, recessions come and go, projects fail all the time, projects are turned around all the time. You can succeed and I know how to help you to be successful today!
