Project Support Services are critical for businesses who are experiencing problems with general controls over project management execution or those who have never implemented standards for project execution. There is an even more urgent need for these services in our world of control reviews. Piccirilli Partners has developed its own unique guidelines for project management and execution, utilizing its years of experience in project execution, methodology development and implementation. We are certain that these services will make a significant difference in your environment, if applied appropriately, and we have techniques that can reap benefits within the first year of application.
Project Management, Methods & Execution
Our P4 guidelines and techniques tell you HOW to execute the project life cycle rather than just what the plan is. We go beyond historical methodologies to explain critical techniques for deliverable completion and to explain the format that those key deliverables should take. We mentor your project resources as you see fit so that there is greater probability of retention for long term use. We train your resources to ensure awareness, consistency in execution and immediate application of learned concepts. Our services can also be leveraged to lead one or more of your project teams or work along side your resources as project team members. Whatever your need, Piccirilli Partners can fill the project void with our strong management and analytical resources.
Project Compliance & Governance
Do not expect successful results if you leave employees’ training on new project methods to chance. Piccirilli Partners is able to work with you to implement compliance incentive programs and governance structures that will ensure all projects being executed are acknowledged, sponsored, properly managed, and delivering on forecasted benefits within forecasted costs. Project governance will highlight where sponsors are not effectively supporting a project, or where project management is not properly engaged, skilled to complete the project, or fulfilling key responsibilities critical to success. Compliance and governance are crucial to ensuring the successful implementation of methodology and principles. Piccirilli Partners can organize, lead, execute, participate and/or monitor any and all of these aspects of your business and technology projects.
Requirements Center™
One of our most highly recommended implementation techniques for methodology is the Requirements Center™. This technique places emphasis on focused project improvement and current-year return. The Requirements Center™ is a facilitation framework that, if implemented, ensures that one of the most difficult parts of the project life cycle is well executed, reviewed and approved—improving long-term results while reducing the risk of poor project outcomes.
The Requirements Center™ provides the medium for every project to be reviewed at the beginning and close of the requirements phase. Consistency in execution resulting from this center will yield tremendous benefits including: reduced project overexpenditure, reduced risk in project schedule extension, improved project deliverable quality, and improved employee satisfaction. The Requirements Center™ provides a focal point for methodology implementation in the first year of implementation.
Portfolio Management
Portfolio Management is a framework critical to value-added decision making for senior executives. It is a rigorous method that requires clarification of objectives prior to decision making, and objectively measures investment decisions against myriad attributes, ensuring that the best decision is taken and implemented. This method also defines and preserves the value to be derived from each selected project.
Too little awareness exists in companies today about what projects are under way, their status, and their delivered value. There is certainly minimal awareness of the relative magnitude of project investment budgets in comparison with operating budgets. With Piccirilli Partners, you’ll implement a portfolio management function that will outline projects to be considered for funding, facilitate the business case process, facilitate project decisioning, and facilitate monitoring and governance of projects ultimately selected. Communications and needed awareness of the importance and impact of funded projects thrives under this process. This service provides tremendous dollar value to any company as projects selected for the right reasons, at the right time, deliver greatest value.
If you have a business problem and need to show quantifiable improvement, if you have a project that needs a leader, or if you have lots of good ideas and have trouble deciding which projects to work on first, Piccirilli Partners can be of tremendous assistance. We are skilled in analyzing your business processes and technology and defining practical solutions. Different from our competitors, we can lead the implementation and deliver quantifiable change.
