Do you need to be able see the health of your projects in real time and communicate easily about
your projects with executives?
Project dashboards enable you to view project health and status in real time, drill down to
investigate problems and issues, share your dashboards with others, and create an executive
summary view. Earned Value Management (EVM) helps bring control and predictability to projects.
EVM processes and metrics support executives, enabling them to achieve critical outcomes,
respond rapidly to business changes, and make strategic project decisions earlier in the project
life cycle–all with increased visibility into the decision-making process.
Cognitive Technologies uses the following general process to help our clients improve access
to meaningful project data that can be communicated and shared quickly and easily:
- Conduct relevant requirements gathering activities, including examining current processes and metrics
- Prototype a dashboard and/or EVM solution and conduct walk-through feedback sessions with stakeholders
- Incorporate feedback and develop a working final solution
- Create documentation and training materials
- Conduct training.
Depending on the problem we are solving (e.g., dashboard, metrics, reporting, or a combination),
we would conduct one or more of the following activities as a part of the engagement:
- Create a PMO dashboard that is easy to read and interpret
- Work with the client to establish base measures of technical performance for schedule, cost, resources, scope and quality and how progress will be assessed and tracked on the dashboard
- Implement a single integrated cost, schedule, and technical management control system providing reliable data to senior executives
- Establish standardized procedures for project status reporting, covering all relevant issues, risks, and changes, from frequency to content.
Our consultants have the experience needed to help our clients' organizations meet their project
reporting and earned value management goals.
