Knowing what you want to do
Delivering value means defining clear, specific achievable, and relevant actions to measure the success of your project. Without these, it will always be in danger of getting blown off course. In this Virtual workshop, I take you from Vision to the SMART actions you need, to deliver value for your business.
Understanding the Here and Now
It is tempting to think that a project to improve your IT stands in isolation. But these projects rarely are in isolation, and you need to know from where you are starting. Without that you have no direction. I investigate your current systems to identify how yours are set up, integrate with your IT architecture and fit together.
Defining what needs to change
Projects can't start until you have defined your requirements. Normally these are thought of as technical requirements or specifications, written by experts that you have to sign off - often without understanding the implications. Our focus is delivering business value so we define functional requirements instead tied to SMART actions that measure success in delivering business value.
Planning Success
It is so easy with technology projects to disappear down rabbit holes. That is because you find shiny bright new toys and exciting gizmos which are outside your plan. You get seduced by their long flaxen hair, and suddenly they become a must-have and end up being solutions looking for a problem to solve. A plan tied back to specific actions that achieve your objectives keeps you focused and aligned.
