Projects – irrespective of the industry or the field – exist solely to transform some aspect of an operation. The purpose of that transformation is to enable the organization to do more and/or do better of what they do. (e.g. in a for-profit organization, these transformations are done to enable the organization to increase net profit).
Particularly with the dawn of the various alternate methodologies, and the rise of the “consulting” PM, organizations have realized that pure order-taking delivery is no longer good enough for projects or project managers. Everything about a project must be based on the value the project delivers to the business. No project can be truly successful with just delivering scope on-time and on-budget any longer, if the value delivered is not correct.
Just as the NASA flight controllers did on Apollo 13, project managers must use what’s at hand to make value happen.
This session, through example, discussion, and guided participant practice, delves into what value means in terms of making today’s project successful. We’ll learn to identify value, who “owns” value, how to use value in project management, and more.
From portfolio to project, and across the span of methodologies and approaches, projects that ignore the value to the “business” are doomed for, at best, mediocrity. Learn how to recognize, codify, and use the value of projects to be better, and to get better!
Mediocrity is not an option (any longer).
