Strategic Planning For Project Management
- Share to:
Projects are critical to the success of any organization. They are the activities that
result in new or changed products, services, environments, processes and organizations.
Projects increase sales, reduce costs, improve quality and customer satisfaction,
enhance the work environment, and result in many other benefits.
As organizations have recognized the criticality of projects to their success,
project management has become a focal point of improvement efforts. More and
more organizations have embraced project management as a key strategy for remaining
competitive in today’s highly competitive business environment. Project
management centers of excellence (e.g., project management offices), training
programs, and organization change programs to improve project management
practices are increasingly common parts of strategic plans to improve organizational
effectiveness.
Some organizations are just getting started with project management. Others
have reached a level of maturity whereby project management has become a way
of life. In the leading organizations, project management is aligned with and integrated
into the company’s business goals and objectives. No longer the sole responsibility
of the project manager, top management is taking more responsibility
for driving the company’s project management strategies.
This book is the result of studying project management efforts in hundreds
of organizations. The lessons learned have resulted in a roadmap. A model that
identifies the universal phases an organization goes through as project management
matures and evolves. The PM Maturity Model allows us to identify what
steps must be taken, what deeds must be accomplished, and in what sequence to
realize meaningful and measurable results. Project management is no longer a
program within the company
