How can you effectively launch a new Projects portfolio, involve and lead your Teams in implementing the CIO’s Roadmap, and steer it with perfect Agility over the long term? Answer in 7 key points .
> Giving meaning to the whole team
The Projects portfolio reveals your CIO’s Roadmap and your organization’s strategic priorities. Projects retained or discarded have been selected for the right reasons, so share them to help you make the right decisions.
> Capitalize on the work produced during the arbitration process
Description of requirements, working hypotheses, macro-costing, macro-planning, integration of risks, etc. A project to be undertaken has already been qualified. Build on this history, without reinventing or re-entering the data.
> Focus on new Projects to be launched within 3 months
Portfolio life cycles are becoming shorter and shorter. Remain Agility by prioritizing the projects of the quarter on which you have good visibility; subsequent projects may be re-interviewed or postponed in the light of new arbitrations.
> Sharing a common, collaborative working environment with ALL Teams
Manage the diversity of profiles and working methods: harmonize practices within a single working environment, and share a common methodology and terminology that will promote cross-functional appropriation.
> Giving everyone a work environment adapted to their role
Tracking and managing PMOs, employee contributions, visibility for business sponsors or management… To ensure that everyone finds what they are looking for and makes a unique tool their own, customize work situations to suit individual needs.
> Save your Projects managers from double reporting
Give priority to bottum-up and ensure that operational reporting on Projects is automatically consolidated into a management view of the entire portfolio, without the need for tedious and time-consuming re-entry or reprocessing.
> Think about the project’s communication plan from the outset.
Ensure a successful launch to mobilize all those involved, maintain your project over time by reporting on progress, and ensure a successful end to the project… Anticipate the major stages and set the milestones for project communication right from the start.
