📚 Read the report: https://lnkd.in/ekRmSj_h
With this report, we are challenging established conceptions of what it means to deliver a successful project. A successful project is more than 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲, 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁. It is one that 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲, as perceived by key stakeholders.
This clearly represents a shift for our profession, where beyond the technicity of our profession we also feel accountable for improving the impact of our work and the value it generates.
To help our profession navigate this transformation, PMI outlines a framework for delivering 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 success:
📚𝗠anage Perceptions
For a project to be considered successful, the key stakeholders - customers, executives, or others - must perceive that the project’s outputs provide sufficient value relative to the perceived investment of resources.
📚𝗢wn Project Success beyond Project Management Success
Project professionals need to take any opportunity to move beyond literal mandates and feel accountable for improving outcomes while minimizing waste.
📚𝗥elentlessly Reassess Project Parameters
Project professionals need to recognize the reality of inevitable and ongoing change, and continuously, in collaboration with stakeholders, reassess the perception of value and adjust plans.
📚𝗘xpand Perspective
All projects have impacts beyond just the scope of the project itself. Even if we do not control all parameters, we must consider the broader picture and how the project fits within the larger business, goals, or objectives of the enterprise, and ultimately, our world.
I believe executives will be excited about this work. It highlights the value project professionals bring to their organizations and clarifies the vital role they play in driving transformation, delivering business results, and positively impacting the world. The shift in mindset will encourage project professionals to consider the perceptions of all stakeholders- not just the c-suite, but also customers and communities.
To deliver more successful projects, business leaders must create environments that empower project professionals. They need to involve them in defining - and continuously reassessing and challenging - project value. Leverage their expertise. Invest in their work. And hold them accountable for delivering project value - not just executing against predetermined parameters.
📚 Please read the report, reflect on its findings, and share it broadly. And comment!
