Projects

Every Project has a Biology to It

Move from an Abstract View of Project Management to Concrete Implementation of Proven Methods

A Company’s ecosystem must model outcome-orientation which is essential for choreographing profitable projects

Fashioning an expert Project Team requires precise skills, commanding purpose, ardent velocity, collaborative mindset, and a tremendous commitment to every stage and sprint.

Project framework

Take an agile approach to each project starting with a clear objective that builds value and creates in impact. Have a collective mindset to be progressive and adaptive. Aim to perform priority mapping, streamline processes, reduce workflow inefficiencies, utilize data insights and continually iterate and test. These practices will increase the velocity of production, lower costs and drive measurable results.

Scope

Strategy Requirements

Align business objectives and expectations
Gauge capacity for deliverables
Settle on systems, platforms and technology tools
Engage stakeholders on criteria and estimations
Reach agreement on allocation of resources
Perform customer / user journey mapping
Undertake data prep for volume, veracity, variety & velocity
Archetype technical design for functional coding and integrations
Decide on testing method – hypothesis, p-value, significance, regression
Carry out confidence intervals and identify interdependencies
Prioritize efficiency, workflow, responses & continuous improvement

Plan Requirements

Define the project’s purpose, goal, budget, timetable and stakeholders
Apply value-based and scalable solutions with no long-term lock
Build user stories and epics to craft the project scope
Outline sprints, iterations, versioning and releases
Evaluate machine and labor workloads and non-productive ‘wait’ times
Create processes that shorten the timeframe to delivery
Design sequential production within framed and filtered activities
Theorize to create sample experiments, then push to larger scale trials
Actively look for cues and signals that authenticate your assumptions
Automate touch points and reduce resource intensities through cloud options
Set capacity and load thresholds – be firm on not exceeding them
Measure all outcomes, then benchmark, test and analyze results
Cost out activities in advance and eliminate non-value add work
Allow teams to work smart and autonomously
Dedicate time and talent to ongoing testing, proofing and validation
What ifs – plan and prepare for expedient pivots and directional change
Build in disciplines while still embracing flexibility in practices and performance

Projects, business requirements and solutions to a problem must be first analyzed for levels of impact, ease, confidence in outcome, cost factors, delivery timeframe, scalability and long-term viability.

Data is often the most influential part of a project – serving as a vital driver of decision-making. Managers go into projects unprepared for data use, failing to account for cleansing, standardizing, organizing and applying needed taxonomy and categorization.

An ambitious project team has several critical characteristics: deadline-driven, collaborative, transparent, supportive, consistent in sprint production, entrenched in testing, open to pivoting and reprioritizing, and hyper committed to achieving the goal.

Project Mastery and Stamina

Define the path, set expectations and short-term quests, create a flow, adopt ideas, embrace the need for tests, reiterations and directional changes, incent, encourage and align the team, measure performance, and always be ready to serve and support.

Reinforce the project vision and goal

Empower teams to execute priorities based on value to the business and customer, and on contribution to growth and sustainability

Planning the Strategy, Scope, Sprints, and Testing will Set the Stage for Project Success

Preparation of Requirements, Data, Processes, Use Cases, and Systems Criteria is Essential

Consensus on ROI-Driven Deliverables, Timetable, Capacity and Methodology is Formidable
