To realize wide-ranging and complex IT projects, a number of interdependent projects have to be summarized in one single program. But how can companies control the content-related, time-related, and technical dependencies of these projects, which all have a common objective? How can you guarantee that when there is competition for the same resources (overstretched employees, tightly-managed IT structure, reduced budgets), you make the right decisions with regard to the overriding program goals? How can you avoid doing the same work twice in the program projects? And how can you achieve an on-time delivery of your results from a program perspective?
By implementing program management, you will be in a position to clarify these exact questions, and you will be able to manage projects and their dependencies in an even more targeted way. Our consultants support you with the improvement of your program planning, program transparency, and program controlling:
program planning
- Establish clear, cross-project priorities
- Develop an overall approach (roadmap), taking into account project-specific approach models and the interdependencies of the projects
- Implement a cross-project, standardized methodology
- Standardize and harmonize your project procedures
- Define quality gates and approval criteria
program transparency
- Implement program reporting and budget controlling
- Develop cross-project risk and issue management (as an early warning system)
- Draw up a sustainable communication concept
program controlling
