Case Studies

Project Management

Product Brand:

Client Type:

Global Brands, Marketing and Adveristising Agencies and Retail Display Equipment Manufacturers

Objectives:

To be considered successful Projects need to be completed on time, within Budget and the end product(s) - deliverables - need to meet the quality required.

Plan2 Install employs a Project Delivery Method which significantly improves the chances of success by addressing the reasons for failure.

• Lack of a Valid Business Case
• Ill defined requirements and scope
• Poor communications between stakeholders
• Failure to define responsibilities
• Poor estimation of time and costs
• Poor quality Management
• Inadequate Planning
• Insufficient attention to Risk
• Failure to define Quality Expectations
• Lack of meaningful Control Mechanisms

Number and Type of Locations:

Over 100 Projects for numerous Brands and Manufacturers throughout UK and ROI since 2003

Challenges:

Without a Project Management Method, those who commission a Project, those who manage it and those who work on it will have different ideas about how things should be orgainsed and when different aspects of the project will be completed.

Plan2 Instal set out to address the reasons for failure by:

• Mandating that the Project is based upon a well thought out Business Case which balances the benefits against the risks and costs involved
• Focusing attention on the Quality of the Products that the Project is set to deliver
• Provide a communication medium for those involved in the Project
• Ensuring that work is carried out in the correct sequence and progress is easily visible to all levels of Management
• Allowing the Project to be stopped, if required, and restarted if required under CONTROL

Project Deliverables:

Plan2 Install Projects always produce the following:

• An Organisation Structure with defined responsibilities to manage the Project
• A finite and defined lifecycle
• Defined and measurable Business Products
• A corresponding set of activities to achieve those Business products
• A defined amount of Resources
