Project Performance
At any point in time, an organisation has, typically, a wide range of project activity. This can span business improvement, information technology, finance, marketing and general reviews.
Most organisations have processes in place to manage the actual projects, but they can be quite disparate. Bigger projects may demand a full scale project management system, whilst other projects are managed with generic solutions or even manually recorded.
The generic solutions share a common trait. They can be uniquely configured to address the needs of the individual project manager, meaning each project has a fragmented and disparate set of metrics. The result? The collection of key data in a consistent way for reporting to senior management is virtually impossible.
With this variation in underlying systems how can senior management get overall visibility into the status of all the organisation’s projects without the need for costly and cumbersome Business Intelligence solutions? And how can the project owners report on the general state of their initiatives so that the communication of status is quickly transmitted?
Imagine a project performance solution that allows users to easily input data in an integrated way, according to the key measures relating to the project. A solution where users can provide a status update on their project in a totally transparent and consistent manner, through on-demand reporting. This is Acelero’s Project Performance approach.
Acelero’s Project Performance system allows project managers to review the status of their project in accordance with criteria that the organisation outlines. For example, criteria could include Time, Cost, Quality, Risk and Value. The client determines the appropriate criteria to use.
The outcome is an assessment of the status of the project is immediately visible and easy to interpret through a flagged Red, Yellow or Green traffic light approach.
We believe flexibility is paramount. Reviews can be completed at whatever interval suits the organisation. Most choose monthly reviews but any period is possible. There is also enormous flexibility in what can be reported. For example, information can be presented by Business Unit, line of business or priority of project.
In addition, senior management can review a summary report in relation to the overall status of projects throughout the whole organisation. Managers can then “manage by exception”, drilling down to interrogate the details of projects that warrant attention.
The secret to success in deploying the Acelero Project Performance solution is its ease of use. It has been developed in a way that makes it intuitive to the end user, but at the same time highly configurable in order to incorporate an individual organisation’s methodology and terminology.
With minimal training required for end users (literally minutes) and rapid overall system deployment delivered from the internet, the Acelero Project Performance system delivers significant and visible benefits to an organisation from the outset.
