Why your projects need momentum

The workplace is moving at a dynamic pace, and to remain ahead in this ever-changing environment, organisations need to reflect these changes internally.

An organisation can remain relevant through delivering projects to update their policies, procedures, processes, systems and products. However, there are many challenges associated with project management and, particularly, the management of internal projects.

Have you found that once your initiative gets started it quickly loses momentum? Does your project overrun or repeatedly miss deadlines? Do you find that there are lower standards of delivery for internal projects? Some common challenges facing delivery are:

• Employees do not have all the capabilities required to successfully manage a project. The skills and experience required to manage an initiative from concept to delivery might not exist in the internal resource pool
• Tools to support project management are outdated or not available
• Individuals and departments use different tools, systems, and methodologies to deliver projects making tracking, updates and evaluating progress challenging
• There is little or no governance in place. The correct oversight process has not been defined resulting in poor communication, reporting and escalation that impacts the quality of project delivery
• Linked to governance, there is no single place or process for key stakeholders to review all projects across the organisation

What can you do to address these challenges and improve delivery?

Alongside delivering projects on behalf of our clients, here at T-Tech we have recently reviewed and updated our own internal delivery processes. As such we are well placed to support clients to review and improve their project management framework.

If you’re still using PowerPoint to create status update reports and Excel for project plans, you need to update your tools! There are so many options available to support project delivery that it can be overwhelming. However, having researched and tested what is available, T-Tech can help implement the right tool for your organisation.

Upskilling your people is essential to achieving your project management goals. Ensuring that your people fully understand the functionality of the system/tools will underpin its success. Alongside implementing the tools, T-Tech can support key individuals to champion project management and drive behavioural and process change in your organisation.

Do you need ongoing support to manage the delivery of your projects? T-Tech has a team of consultants with proven experience available to implement and drive the core management activities required by your organisation. The level of support required, varies according to project need and, as a result, T-Tech has developed three tiers of project management support to meet the need of any organisation.
