Priority ManagementDoing the correct thing correctly! • Recognize Strategy conformance Target-Prioritization • Recognize deviations of the Actual -Situation  Controlling • Traceability Conflict reduction ProjectImportance • Risk Assumption Opportunity Costs Prioritization Deficiency Project xy Aktual Priority Strategy Conformance Matrix (SCM)

  14. Basics for the Assessment of the SCM Strategy Paper Intangible assets Business Plan Project importance Balanced Scorecard Project Business Cases Tangible assets IAOC Actual Priority Project progress on schedule Management Awareness Resource Dedication Appropriated Budget

  15. How does a project xy influence the customer business? Inquiry of the strategic importance of projects(1) Balanced Scorecard with targets and measurement categories Customer Perspective Internal Processes • Which part contributes project xy to the reduction of time and costs? Innovation • Which innovation targets are addressed by project xy?

  18. Overview Project Portfolio (2) Factual Dependencies Project Importance 2 1 3 5 9 8 6 4 7 Actual Priority Declarations: Connections between projects: Interdependencies and influences (red = negative, green = positive, black = neutral/not yet clear)

  19. Overview Project Portfolio (3) Personnel Dependencies Project Importance 2 1 3 5 9 8 6 4 7 Actual Priority Declarations: Conflict situation between projects based on planned resources

  20. Overview Project Portfolio (4)Time Dependencies ProjectImportance 2 1 3 5 9 8 6 4 7 Actual Priority Declarations: Time coherences (e.g. Completion of project 4 is prerequisite for project 5)

  25. Frequent indicators for Project risks... • Artificial pressure of time: „Without pressure of time nothing will proceed anyways ...“ • Planning is based on a perfect world: • „Key person xy was absorbed by another project ...“ „The Project members were rolled over by the day-to-day business...“ • Project Management by Hope: • „There should be nothing to intervene ...“ • „We do not have any time buffer ...“ • „We do not have any time for a detailed planning...“

  26. Crisis Management Measure of damages Reduce Accept Insure Ignore Control Probability of occurrence Develop a Risk strategy

  27. Significance 3 2 6 4 5 7 1 Likelihood The basis of the Risk Management processes in a complex environment Risk Tracking Risk Mapping Risk Management Report Aktual and adopted Project plans (Aktivities, Deliverables) Observations Interviews Supply object list & Milestone control Effort Controlling Status reports of the Projects Combined open issue lists on the program management level

  28. Having the sight on the benefit The active dialog about the project risks improves the creation of awareness of the project members involved The established Risk-Management-Process serves as an early waring system Through the realization of the proposed measures the risks will be reduced in the appropriate manner The risk dialog forces the dealing with unrealistic project defaults( costs, time,resources, technical feasibility) at the management level Basis for the cockpit-function at the project portfolio level

  29. The Controlling-CycleContents of the reporting Precense oriented  aktual state of the project Little effort for project and portfolio managers Professional degree of performance (percental) Accumulated Costs (nominal, percental) Combined from single project reports, concentration on the essential Planning deviations with rationals Options for problems, risiks and solutions Planned steps up to the next report

  41. Critical Success factor # 1:The „Cultur compatibility“ Exaggerated Formalism Paper and Document flood, bureaucracy Little usable content in the documentation How do I bypass the process? Therefore Recognize Quick wins • Align the proceedingon the currentproblem definition

  42. Further Success Factors Management Commitment • Exemplify and the will for enforcement Transparent communication as a chance • The project protfolio is of interest to all No imaginary assessment accuracy • Most modells require information, which doesn‘t exist in reality The courage to decide • The transparent portfolio management makes clear that some management decsicions have to be made (e.g. to cancle projects)
