The Integrated Project Management approach
Why do Projects fail?
For most large organisations, fewer than 40% of major initiatives (projects) are considered a success. This ‘success rate’ includes situations where a decision is taken to kill off the project for valid reasons. Irrespective of the type of project, the remainder fail for one or more reasons. Whilst guaranteeing project success is impossible, understanding the reasons why the majority of projects fail and putting in some preventive measures accordingly goes a long way to creating a culture of improved project performance.
The New Business Context
Traditional project management approaches have focused upon detailed planning of resources and tasks, and project management software has emphasized resource planning above all else. To run projects and programmes effectively within your organisation you need more than just good resource planning.
Your project and programme management process is only as good as the elements that support it. The Integrated Project Management approach highlights those links in the chain. Your training in the core project planning process may be strong, but are you and your management team confident that all the other links are just as strong?
Using the elements of the Integrated Project Management model (above) PLI can provide you with a comprehensive, for for purpose project management approach, tailored to your individual needs. PLI can deliver everything from a Project Management audit of your existing approach, project management skills training to the complete (re)design of your own project management methodology.
The PLI approach is practical and results oriented delivering tangible results and value for money.
