Program
and Project Management
There are many
project management methodologies available today – so many
that even the most seasoned manager can become confused. We believe
the most crucial key is in the execution of the methodology. Well
planned and carefully executed Project Management -- and Program
Management for larger projects with multiple interdependencies --
is critical to the economic success of all investments and change
efforts. Enaxis Consulting practices proper and holistic project
management. This practice is used in identifying milestones and
interdependencies, creating proper reporting tools and structure,
and implementing the appropriate rigor to project processes.
Enaxis Consulting provides seasoned professionals armed with tools
and processes proven to supply decision makers with what they need
– a common framework for managing multiple projects and achieving
business objectives. This framework affords decision makers a common
view of project-critical success factors such as:
•
Identifying critical interdependencies and milestones between
projects
• Supplying a structure and process for identifying
and resolving issues
• Determination of the project portfolio’s economic
health

Framing
the Portfolio Objectives
Properly framing the portfolio objectives provides a sound foundation
on which to build the program management tools and processes. This
foundation is laid by identifying the scope, stakeholders, timeline,
and budget expectations of the portfolio. Enaxis Consulting then identifies
the project objectives, determining goals and measurements that are
most critical to the success of the client’s organization.
Design Tools and Processes
Once the portfolio objectives are properly framed and identified,
Enaxis Consulting documents and develops all tools and processes in
alignment with project goals. Agendas and targets are developed for
kickoff meetings and workshops. Additionally, appropriate resource
plans for operating the Program Management Office clearly define the
process for implementation.
Implement Program Management Office
Gaining team support and ensuring process compliance are vital. Again
Enaxis Consulting excels in these arenas. A kickoff meeting is held
and special workshops are facilitated to educate the team on tools
and procedures, identify interdependencies and develop project plans.
Once the PMO is implemented, Enaxis will begin using the tools and
processes for reporting purposes.
Transitioning of PMO to Client’s Organization
Enaxis Consulting is committed to developing a formal transition plan
for handing over management of processes to a steady state organization.
By developing management-of-change procedures for updating tools and
processes, the client’s organization shifts to an independent
project management state.
