Many projects are doomed from the beginning although you may not realize it until mid-stream as the project fails to sustain momentum or even gain traction. At the root of this is often one of three things: lack of clear objectives and priorities from executive leaders; lack of strong leadership and management to facilitate daily deliverables and hold individuals accountable; or lack of adequate resources and cross-organizational support.
There are a number of project management frameworks such as PRINCE2 and PMBOK which are wildly used for projects, whether waterfall, iterative or Agile. These can greatly assist in management of predictable outcomes and facilitate communication and change throughout the organisation.
Business IT consultants have led many projects across numerous organizations and disciplines. From eCommerce, to strategic planning, to lean management, to process redesign, to IT strategy, to outsource vendor management systems, to strategic sourcing. At the core of every project leadership engagement are clear agreements and commitments from all team members and affected cross-functional groups and leaders as well as effective foundational mechanisms or tools for managing these programs. These mechanisms include frequent and consistent review meeting, focused status dashboards for progress and accountabilities, coordinated executive status reviews, and corrective action processes.
