Ensure Project Success

Projects are run either externally or internally and both have a similar goal of success. Success to me means not only coming in on time and budget but also meeting all business goals and objectives. How do you ensure project success? How do you ensure all stakeholders get what they signed up for?

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to hand the project manager exactly what is needed to ensure success including a way for them to measure?

That is what the Ensure Project Success system is all about…

I use the consolidated roadmap to ensure project success. The consolidated roadmap has taken into consideration the vision, appetite for change and priorities of the senior executives. Subject-matter-experts from across the organization were consulted to ensure foundational components, dependencies, industry best practices and current resources were also taken into consideration.

The consolidated roadmap is a powerful tool and in my eyes the tool to ensure project success.

Using a fictitious organization I will demonstrate how to:

• Work within the current organization to ensure projects are “doable” and align with the vision.
• Create the information for the project manager.
• Bring innovative ideas to the table.
• Work with projects to ensure all stakeholder’s expectations are met.
• Create a Governance structure that is beneficial to all.
