FAQs

    1. During project planning — set clear, measurable objectives for each vendor and quality metrics to measure against. Also during planning, assess and notate any risks associated with each vendor.

    2. Throughout the project — monitor quality metrics against vendor contributions. Track these metrics to identify any positive or negative patterns to address. (Positive patterns deserve praise + recognition!)

    3. Throughout the project — routine interactions with the vendor encourage good performance and open lines of communication which inevitably have a positive impact on the project. Establish an open, comfortable feedback loop between the vendor and project team.

    4. Throughout the project — regularly managing any risks identified during planning and if new risks are uncovered, adding them to the project risk log.

  • My best experience was with a team new to formal project management practices. They were extremely dedicated to building and refining a great PMO. Some green flags I experienced with this client include:

    • Clearly documented processes: While new to this, they ensured documentation of each process created along the way.

    • Communication: Frequent and open communication within all levels of the company.

    • Project Management Software: One central tool implemented team-wide to capture resourcing, timeline, budget, risk management, and more. All team members were trained on the same tool.

    • Role Clarity: The PMO distinctly defined itself and everyone reporting into the PMO knew what their role was and what was expected of them.

  • There are three primary reasons it's time to consider re-baselining a project budget:

    1. Significant changes in scope

    2. External factors causing significant impact on the project

    3. The project is severely behind or ahead of schedule

  • Managing scope creep begins in the Planning part of project management.

    • Have a clear and detailed project scope

    • Have a clearly mapped timeline against the scope

    • Documented project requirements including acceptance + quality criteria

    • A change management process that all project stakeholders are aware of and adhere to

    • Stakeholder management — carefully managing stakeholder expectations and not under or overpromising
