Eroded Management Confidence in Program Delivery
- Difficulty in demonstrating delivery is on track, undermines management confidence
- Burning cost without knowing where problems are erodes management confidence
- Committed dates & compliance obligations are at risk without ability to measure progress
- Multiple data points provide inconsistencies, lack of control and confusion
Programs risk delivery failure without the right transparency,
controls and ongoing management.
The alternative is to take back control, and increase management
confidence in the process.
What’s Missing
- Has the program delivery derailed from its timeline
- What problems can be addressed for immediate resolution
- Which legacy areas cause performance issues
What’s Needed
Transparency over current state
What’s Missing
- Is there a critical path for the program
- How’s the program tracking against baseline
- How are root-cause problems addressed
- Manual processes chewing up resources
- How are legacy reports integrated
What’s Needed
Measurable progress underpinned by controls
Overloaded or Ineffective PMO Resources
- Stakeholders lacking adequate program information cannot address business priorities
- Ineffective PMOs focus on complicated reporting & fixing inaccurate data
- Inadequate PMO set up and manual reporting detract resources from analysis & insights
- Ineffective PMOs create work for PMs, instead of being a service provider to them
Without the right PMO structure, automation & skillset, businesses repeatedly fail to deliver.
The alternative is to free up PMO resources, while providing them the tools they’ve never had.
What’s Missing
- Are dependencies at risk clear
- What is the weekly progress against plan
- Early warning / slippage alerts for prioritisation / escalation
- How are internal & external burn rates maintained
- Validate maturity of project manager workforce
What’s Needed
Timely visibility of problem areas
What’s Missing
- Paying resource premium, after needs change or reduce
- Getting confidence from ongoing support & periodic reviews
What’s Needed
Best-practice resourcing & support
What’s Missing
- Able to upskill existing PMO resources
What’s Needed
Development of existing staff
