Posted by jason tratch
As a continuation of the previous blog, here is part two of things that can be reviewed to help increase the probability of success for your project:
- Are there formal governance and change approval guidelines?
- Is there a process to discover issues (ASAP) to lessen their impact?
- Is there fast, easy access to key tools and equipment?
- Is there knowledge of the overall vision and mission of the target audience?
- Is there a clear understanding of how the customer wants to do business?
- Are people being proactive verses reactive?
- Is there focus on training, growth and the future?
- Are there regular communications using standards and known expectancies?
- Is the data accurate, clean and available?
- Are the processes that support clear tracking against project metrics?
- Is it known what happened during the client’s last project (successes & failures)?
- Is there timely project team and stakeholder communication, where communication occurs amongst the team members and to / from the client representatives.
- Is the PM facilitating communication, cooperation and collaboration and are project processes and practices implemented to support this?
- Is the PM identifying critical metrics and milestones, communicating those metrics / milestones, and managing the project with the objective of meeting those targets? (e.g. EVM)
- Are handoffs between groups being managed effectively and is there a process to support effective hand-offs?
- Is documentation of the project evolution* maintained in a shared, accessible, and secure area?
- Does the PM have a process and mechanism for managing project financials (for both and client)?
- Are processes in place to allow the PM to assess overall client satisfaction?
- Is the PM probing for, and qualifying potential new business leads with the client? Are these leads passed onto Sales for further action?
- What are all the things that you are measuring - so you can justify that you are objectively "increasing the probability of success"
