Information Week recently published a piece by Jonathan Feldman
called "Get Your Projects in Line." He's trying to save you money,
because "a practical PPM implementation, sized correctly for your
organization, can boost IT's credibility and effectiveness." I like
his proactive approach:
- Decide on what problem you're solving and how to know when
you've solved it.
- Fit your PPM governance to either a grassroots or top-down
approach.
- Implement a governance framework, but keep your
perspective.
- Match the implementer to the initiative.
- Get real about work capacity and financial management.
- Pick your budget and battles.
- It's not about the tool, but it's important to define a
toolset.
- Don't get hung up on automated integration.
- Educate, close the loop, and begin again.
Points too good to gloss over. We'll tease these out in future
posts.
