Project Success System Development
 The third aspect of the Integrated Solution is development and implementation
of the client's Project Success System, which is the organizational infrastructure
that supports the application of project management within the client's
organization. Although the concepts, principles, and techniques of project
management are generic and apply to virtually all types of projects, the
system to support project management must be tailored to the client's business
environment.
Specific considerations of characteristics are:
-
Projects (number, magnitude, complexity, uncertainty, constraints,
etc.)
-
Organization (size, structure, geographic dispersion, functional
vs. project orientation, existing management systems, etc.)
-
Competitive environment (competition based on differentiation, cost,
speed, flexibility, etc.)
-
People (technical expertise, interpersonal skills, leadership potential/experience,
team culture)
The Project Success System involves both organizational and technical
dimensions. The Project Success System includes such elements as:
-
Project management policies and procedures
-
Project management software
-
Standard codes for resources and cost categories
-
Standard report formats
-
Project management support personnel
-
Template project plans
-
Project databases
Project Success System implementation support could include:
-
Acquisition/installation of selected software
-
Customized software user training
-
Loading of initial project plans
-
Programming of customized modules/reports
-
Development of project management support personnel
-
Integration of the project management system with other management
systems (e.g., accounting, time and cost reporting, work order scheduling,
etc.).
Follow-up audits are also conducted by YCA to ensure the ongoing rigorous
application of the Project Success System and to recommend further development/improvement.
