Some interesting ideas around PM. Most useful were some new concepts related to ranking stakeholders – not something that was particularly useful to me in the past, but there was interesting questions around how the ranking of stakeholders would impact the project plan. Thankfully, our office has many of these practices in place, but of course we can always refine and improve. I think one initial area would be improving standardization around scope documents.
- Common tools
- Stakeholder management
- MOU; use a change order if one of the stakeholders changes the scope of work
- Project Plan (Gantt Chart)
- Getting Organized and Staying on Track
- Chart with Major/minor tasks, dates, assignees
- Keep it as simple as possible
- Top 5 Stakeholders
- A = allies, B = non-allies
- R = resistant, in-between A and B
- up-down axis = I(nterest) vs. P(ower)
- Engage
- Purpose is to develop an online version of 402 HIT
