How to implement a sound organizational approach to project management?
The best project manager can't work miracles across the entire organization. To ensure that good practices are applied effectively across all project teams, the company needs to set up an appropriate framework. Several steps are required to achieve this.
Interviews are conducted with identified stakeholders to clarify:
- The state of governance
- Project management methodology
- Existing skills profile (test tool)
Deliverable: audit, maturity diagnosis or skills mapping
Depending on the previous deliverable(s) (audit, diagnosis, mapping), a list of recommendations is prioritized with the customer.
- Identification of added value
- Prioritization of short-, medium- and long-term improvement points
Deliverable: Prioritized list of actions to achieve objectives
Following prioritization of recommendations :
- Plan and prioritize initiatives
- Integrate change management
Deliverable: detailed action plan, based on the organization's capacity and the reality of its environment. Tailor-made course proposals.
Depending on the action plan defined and the customized path developed, various learning solutions (training, mentoring, coaching, etc.) are deployed.
Deliverable: Integration of project management best practices
In order to validate the effectiveness and consistency of the recommendations, objectives, action plan and deployment, it is important to ensure :
- A comparison of the evolution of the maturity diagnosis
- An assessment of achievements
- Corrective recommendations where necessary
Deliverables: tailored to the corrective recommendations specific to each organization.
