Examples of the effects of
PMO-guard order
A key element in making the correct management of the portfolio of projects is the separation of cells „Project Office” (ang. Project Management Office PMO). This Office is obliged to record all of the projects and their status.
It is important to „site” Project Office (PMO) in the structure of the company – is functioning between the commissioning Department (contract business Department/sales) and the Department for handling projects. By Pmo (PMO) passes so all correspondence associated with the formal project (started, completed, changes in valuations etc.). Thanks to the natural way to be updated is the registry of projects and the associated archive documents (eg. valuations).
The implementation of the „Project Office” immediately orders the „uncontrollable” order with business departments to line the implementation
Separation of design and execution plan
In accordance with our new methodology, the Total Activities Management, each important project should be divided into two subprojects: planning (which shall be the concept, measurement and schedule for the implementation of the project) and the implementation (of the plan).
Therefore, planning the project (eg. at the stage of project pricing system listed below) is a project in itself, which gives you the following benefits:
- planning is properly managed in accordance with the methodology is built is aware that this planning stage of needing a clear substantive resource allocation (the end of the consultation, „ad-hoc”)
- each phase (planning/execution) as a separate project has a separate status-when is consent to planning, there is not yet agreement on the implementation of the
We can track the planning costs (pricing system listed below) regardless of the implementation – thanks to the planning of the implementation of the project shall be chargeable to the not costs, the budget did not include such items (see also: optimizing the cost pricing system listed below)
The Division of the project on the subproject „price negotitating” and „delivering” prevents going to abbreviations: reliable target plans of the project must be built before the implementation of the essential will be subcontracted.
Control of projects completed
On many projects at the same time, it’s easy to forget about the need to shut down or breaking projects that have lost their meaning.
Here comes with the help of time and attendance-projects in which for a long time nothing happens, you can easily identify – they are „candidates” for closure.
At the time of the actual closure/breakpoint the project – project engineers are losing the power to further working time reporting in the framework of a specific initiative; employees immediately see that you should not continue to work on a specific initiative.
