Why Is Planningforce Becoming A Must Have For Decision-makers?

Reducing planning methodology to lets draw a plan and put resources onto tasks is so common for wellmarketed products like MSProject that it appears for many as the only way to work.

But the time has certainly come to question whether this is the best way to optimize your project plans when you have to manage several complex projects concurrently respect delivery dates and at the same time make the most of your costly and qualified resources.

Moreover how can you draw risks and uncertainties in a Gantt chart? With a red dot or a flashy task?!? Lets be serious for a moment. The market conditions we face today force us to understand integrate and have control over the disturbances tomorrow holds; not play with pencils!

Practically we can encounter two types of disturbance or risk: recurring and exceptional ones.

1 Risks such as illnesses days off unplanned tasks longer tasks changes and interruptions are frequent throughout the life of the plan. These events are so frequent that we often have statistics on their occurrence. We also know these will affect the delivery dates maybe the quality or the profits and even sometimes the cohesion of the team. So why not anticipate their incidence in our plans?

2 Some other problems are more exceptional like contractor bankruptcy or disaster due to a storm or a fire. Maybe luckily you have never experienced one of these but why not imagine that they might also happen to you and prepare yourself for that eventuality? Indeed why not create several contingency plans?

There are many more reasons to change planning methodology. Discover them here.

We all know that the decisions you take based on the construction and interpretation of your plans have crucial consequences for the projects themselves for the people involved and for the profit of your company. Poor planning methodology can only induce wrong or poorly argued decisions.

What is PlanningForce?

PlanningForce has been conceived to help PMOs and more globally decisionmakers to define and optimize project and resource portfolios thanks to an iterative planning process.

This is the starting point: be sure the plan we produce will allow you to achieve concurrent objectives while correctly assessing the risks; this will be done by using amongst others probabilistic distributions rich resource descriptions simulation tools scorecards KPIs and by imagining contingency plans. Click here for a Product tour of PlanningForce.

Secondly once you have selected and planned your projects scheduled the tasks and allocated your resources PlanningForce will help you replan easily to take account of diverging progress statuses and unforeseen events: the goal is to prevent big deviations while adapting the plan smoothly and giving clear instructions in order to keep the actors on board and motivated.

Thirdly and once you have achieved or failed your projects PlanningForce will help you revise the whole planning process through its successive and recurring phases of simulations plan progress events. The goal here is to have a clearer understanding of what went well or wrong and of the real causes of your successes and failures. From that analysis you can infer new project templates setup training sessions adapt your competence matrix or your pricing find new contractors dismiss recruit specialize diversify etc.

In a word in light of its history and precisely because you gave it a central role in your decisional process your plan will help you adapt or conceive strategies which will improve your global performance. See Planning process and SWOT amp; Strategy for more details.

On the other hand what does PlanningForce not do? At this point PlanningForce doesnt focus on online shared calendars or timetracking whose functions are more dedicated to daytoday project management.

How does it work?

Technically PlanningForce is a project planning program using a scheduling engine which produces what are called multiobjective solutions based on a concurrent planning process.

You usually follow a 7step methodology in which you

1. Define projects through WBS and task requirements
2. Apply risks and uncertainties to both of them
3. Tune and specify scope priorities and goals
4. Launch the automatic scheduling and resource leveling
5. Produce simulations planning scenarios KPIs and scorecards
6. Select validate and communicate your plan
7. This process is iterative so you can give room to your creativity to improve KPIs by imagining and testing new working configurations.

PlanningForcenegotiated solutions

The PlanningForce data architecture has been built to create room for negotiation between a demand the projects and tasks and an offer the resources. The match between this demand and offer is made at several levels: competences availability and preferences. The solutions are classified according to priorities and goals makespan and benefits.

This methodology allows the use of the full power of our scheduling engine whose purpose is to calculate some of the best out of potentially billions planning solutions while automatically performing resource levelling and detecting present or future problems.

PlanningForces current and future versions

PlanningForce is currently available in two versions:

1 the Standard version offers all the functionalities and tools currently in existence and

2 the Express version offers the same functionalities as Standard except the financial ones and the Program Management features. Compare both versions here.

PlanningForce is highly scalable and still presents huge potential for future development amongst others in the field of artificial intelligence. Discover here what the current round of development is all about. In the near future our customers will be offered the possibility to determine and vote for some specific demands to be included in the next rounds.

The Collaborative version of PlanningForce is currently under development and its release is planned for the beginning of this summer. This version will mix rich and thin clients to offer both the usability and the versatility required by this type of distributed application. The Collaborative version will stress the consolidation and distribution functions as well as the reporting ones.

PlanningForce runs only on Windows OS XP and Vista. The good news is that just a few graphical issues keep us from offering PlanningForce to Mac and Linux users. Thanks for your patience!

In March well be launching a new version of this website which will emphasize the community section. Our intention is to favor interactivity between PlanningForce users so everyone can benefit from more business cases more templates more tips and more articles to improve their performance and make better use of PlanningForce.

What You Should Know About It Project Management

Why do we have to plan and manage IT projects? Why bother at all considering the fact that many clients eventually accept whatever the resulting software may be? Why bother at all since time is precious in building the systems rather than planning systems? These are the usual answers of independent or freelance software developers who are excited in tackling or building software projects immediately without the need to sit around and plan first. If you will bother to read my article you will see the importance of IT Project Management.
I have an experience before in my last year in college where in we have an IT project to do. Since we are excited in building or finishing? the product without planning properly my team suffered a lot in the near end of the projectbuilding time. We failed in building one prototype after another. We also exceeded the time allotment given to us thus we suffered financially since we incurred extra expenses lost the interest of other team members and caused dissatisfaction from out teacher. Learning from my mistakes and applying Project Management in other areas of my life I would like to share the importance and advantages of IT Project Management to others as well.
Project Management is the application of knowledge skills tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge PMBOK Guide 2000 p.6. These project requirements are like the goals of a project that once met or achieved signifies the completion of a project as well as customer satisfaction. The application of knowledge requires careful sifting planning specification and design of these requirements. Through Project Management software developers will be able to identify coordinate and monitor tasks activities and resources to meet the project requirements.
The outcome of Project Management is: scope of work is defined project feasibility is evaluated thus a team can early detect if they are capable of doing a project while considering their skills and resources tasks and resources are estimated plans for execution of tasks are developed through documentation that serves as blueprint also and progress is monitored.
The advantages of Project Management are: shorter development period less expenses quality software products control in activities and resources client interaction since they too are informed of the projects progress early detection of risks and potential problems good documentation serves as blueprint and reference and project members are learning and applying teamwork.
Though it usually takes time in planning in the end software developers are assured of smooth work in developing their IT projects since they already have plans and blueprints in the form of documentations and reports. All that they have to do is implement it in the actual building of their products. Take for instance a carpenter building a small house. Once he has the plan blueprint tools workers and other resources he can build the house in a jiffy and his construction work will run smoothly.

What To Do Before Hiring A Contractor For Your Building Project

Hiring a contractor for your building project frees you from much of the work and worry it entails. Before hiring a contractor though there is still work to be done. You need the proper preparations to ensure a successful working relationship with the contractor you choose to hire.

Residential Contractor or Commercial Contractor

First of all you need to define the type of project you are doing. If your project is residential you will need a residential or general contractor. If you are constructing or renovating a business site you will need a commercial contractor. This distinction is very important because there are many differences in the requirements of residential construction and commercial construction.

Your contractor is supposed to be responsible for all the permits required for the project. Commercial and residential construction projects require totally different permits based on totally different government codes and regulations.

A commercial contractor will be able to give you advice on the most costeffective ways of using your business infrastructure and floor area as well as the level of electrical service you should apply for taking into consideration future expansion. A commercial contractor will also be experienced at handling business equipment properly and will be able to work on your commercial site with the least possible disruption to your business and your clientele.

PreHiring Preparations

For construction from scratch you will need to plan with an architect engineers builders and other professionals. Decide whether you want to hire a contractor who can organize all those professional needs for you or whether you want a separate architect and a separate landscape contractor for example. If you decide to hire a separate architect and any other professional you will need to ensure that they all sit down with your contractor from the start of the project and all through its implementation so that everything is properly coordinated. This will prevent unnecessary downtime and even worse expensive reworking. It will be much simpler to get a contractor who can provide complete professional services and who will be responsible for all the coordination for the project.

For renovations you will need to prepare existing building plans and blueprints. These will be needed by your architect in making new designs and by your builder too eventually. Blueprints for the new design will in turn be needed in getting the various construction permits.

For full construction or renovations whether for a residential or commercial project be very clear about your own requirements. Make sure you know your bottom line in terms of function style and cost. This way you know to what extent you are prepared to solicit advice or accept changes to your vision.

Bidding Considerations

Once you are very sure as to what you need and want in your project look for contractors from whom to ask for bids or quotations. It would be good to ask for recommendations from people you trust as well as from government agencies and professional organizations.

Make sure the contractor has a valid business license. Find out how long it has been operating and whether its record is clean of complaints.

Check the contractors insurance. It should have public liability insurance property damage insurance and workers compensation. If any subcontractors are going to be hired check their insurance too and make sure they have all these.

Look at previous projects completed by the contractor and talk to their previous clients.

Only ask for bids from contractors who have passed all the aforementioned checks. The lowest bid is not automatically the best either. Check for quality too. Make sure the bid is specific in laying down the services to be provided in identifying materials to be used and in setting a definite time frame for the project. Now youre ready to choose and hire your contractor.

What Prince2 Training Did For Me And My Workplace

My workplace is big on training and eight weeks ago it was my turn to attend PRINCE2 training. PRINCE2 is the OGC project management methodology. I had already participated in a PRINCE2 foundation course and was more than ready for additional PRINCE2 training that would prepared me for the official practitioners exam. In essence PRINCE2 is essentially a process oriented method that breaks up a project into bite size chunks of work with resource prioritisation and role allocation being well defined.

It wasnt just because my workplace wanted me to attend a PRINCE2 course I wanted to attend so I could improve my own project management skills. I had worked on successful projects in the past but I was aware that there was an increasing need in todays business world to define general processes for projects. Working out a successful strategy for every project was becoming increasingly difficult and I knew that additional PRINCE2 training would be able to help. My project manager would readily agree a project involves combining resources and skills with technology and ideas therefore ensuring good product delivery. Projects need to operate within time and risks constraints and PRINCE2 training would address all of those concerns very effectively.

PRINCE2 training is particularly beneficial for people who are involved with managing projects and not just any ol person is allowed to teach the course. First of all they need to be associated with an accredited PRINCE2 training organisation so they can pass on the necessary skills to trainees. Our trainers certainly had the right skills; they taught us first class project management skill so we could feel confident about managing various projects successfully on the work front. We were taught a flexible and adaptable approach that could suit all types of projects and we were provided with common systems procedures and an understanding of PRINCE2 terminology. The trainers said that when we were all singing from the same hymn sheet so to speak there were fewer mistakes made in the work place.

The PRINCE2 training was hard work and a challenge but enjoyable at the same time. There was some fun practical learning that helped to reinforce the theory we had learnt and the information was imparted in different ways to cover all learning styles. We sat our exam at the end of the course which lasted for 3 hours and an overall score of 180 out of a possible 360 was needed to pass. I am very proud to say my score was 300.

By the end of the course lots of us were saying: this is the best course Ive ever been on. How did I ever manage without PRINCE2? Whats the next training course can I go on?

Since the training the difference I have noticed in my own project management skills are amazing. There is a definite improvement in the way I handle projects and projects are producing better results because with PRINCE2 the methods are largely simplified owing to its well directed layout and therefore things fall into place. As a direct result of my improved project management skills my boss has been very impressed and given me a promotion and a pay rise. Another bonus with PRINCE2 training is that it looks great on my resume. PRINCE2 is recognised around the world as a world class qualification and is seen as the standard way for the management of project works.

I would recommend anyone who is involved with project management to attend PRINCE2 training and implement what they have learnt in their workplace because not only has the training benefited my workplace it has directly benefited me.

What Is User Requirements Capture?

A User Requirements Capture is a research exercise that is undertaken early in a project lifecycle to establish and qualify the scope of the project. The aim of the research is to understand the product from a users perspective and to establish users common needs and expectations. The user requirements capture is useful for projects that have a lack of focus or to validate the existing project scope. The research provides an independent user perspective when a project has been created purely to fulfil a business need. The requirements capture findings are then used to balance the business goals with the user needs to ensure the project is a success.

The user requirement capture project can include many different usability research methodologies including; surveys structured and unstructured interviews usability tests and competitor analysis. Typically the research is undertaken on a onetoone basis between a usability consultant and an end user with an average user requirements capture project including up to 15 onetoone interviews.

Advantages

The main advantages of a user requirements capture is the saving of time and money by validating the scope of a project against its users needs and expectations before any work begins. This in turn mitigates the risk of the project launching and failing to meet its objectives increased online conversion registrations visits etc.. The research will also uncover critical information to improve the end result by answering questions such as; is the current target audience realistic? Can the project be more successful with a different focus? And is the project worth investing in? There is also an important intangible benefit where the project team gains a deep insight into users and their needs at the very beginning allowing them to remain focused on serving users throughout the duration of the project.

Disadvantages

A user requirements capture will increase the time of the planning phase which can be a frustration if the project team is keen to get cracking. However this time is easily saved later in the project due to making quicker more informed decisions based on user needs. The research can also highlight a conflict in different users needs and expectations which may require a user experience consultant to work with the team on making sense of the conflict and isolating a solution. As this method requires experienced user research professionals to ensure they capture true user requirements rather than unfocused conjecture and opinion it can add an unexpected cost to the start of a project.

Conclusion

Despite the potential costs incurred early in the project lifecycle a user requirements capture is an essential tool for any project which interfaces between the business and its users. Understanding user needs and requirements at the beginning of the project helps ensure the product is fully adopted by its users leading to business success and in more extreme cases a user requirements capture can save a business from investing time and money in a product which is not required by the target audience.

What Is User Centred Design?

Usercentred design is an approach to designing which holds the user at the centre of all design decisions throughout the project lifecycle. It has been argued that usercentred design is more of a philosophy than a set of tools. Whilst this is true to some extent there are a number of tools that make up the toolkit which many refer to as usercentred design. These include: user profiling user requirements capture and usability testing.

The aim of the usercentred design process is to ensure that the design of a system remains focused upon who will use the system in what context and with what aim. Historically it was an approach used to combat design methods that were typically lead by technology where companies would find ways to use technology to solve a problem and then focus on features and functionality to create a product. Users were an afterthought so when the product launched its users were expected and needed to adapt to the system. The philosophy behind usercentred design proposes that the system should instead adapt to the user.

A usercentred design approach is typically used when a projects success is dependent upon increased usage and improving conversion rates. Many high profile websites use the approach to ensure design and development teams remain focused upon the key users they must design for. Throughout the project usercentred design tools such as usability testing are employed to ensure the project is delivering value to the end users. When the product launches the project team and stakeholders are confident of its success as they have been in regular contact with users and have refined their thinking to ensure users will benefit from the product.

Advantages

There are many advantages for adopting a usercentred design approach: The project team unites behind a common goal by really understanding why they are designing; the risk of project failure is mitigated as concepts and ideas are validated with users throughout the project; the project team narrows its focus onto a smaller number of key features that are specific to the user needs.

Disadvantages

As mentioned earlier usercentred design can be seen as a philosophy as well as a set of tools and can be difficult to integrate into an existing processes. Therefore gaining buyin from management to adopt a usercentred process can be a challenge. In order to work properly the usercentred process requires buyin and involvement from the entire project team and requires a change agent to get it started. In our experience once the ball is rolling the project team is always appreciative of the new process.

Conclusion

In summary then a usercentred design process is an essential tool for projects reliant upon user adoption for success. When a project team is united in serving the needs of their users they often find that they develop a far better solution as they are focused on a clear direction throughout the project lifecycle. The challenge with the approach is to get the whole project team to buyin to the new process together.

What Are The Commonalities And Differences Between Prince2 And Pmbok?

As the most common standards in the world for the discipline of Project Management what are the commonalities and differences between the Project Management Institutes Project Management Body of Knowledge PMBOK and the British government’s Projects in Controlled Environments PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 is a series of Processes Components and Techniques suitable for any size or subject of project. According to some it describes what a project manager should do. I would think that a PRINCE2 practitioner must possess knowledge in order to execute on the specified actions! PRINCE2 is most prevalent in the UK but does have an extensive and growing worldwide following.

The PMBOK is a collection of knowledge areas and process groups. According to some it describes what a Project Manager should know. I would think that in order to be effective a project manager would make this knowledge actionable! The PMI has the largest following more than PRINCE2 and is very much worldwide although more prevalent in the Untied states.

It would seem that a complete Project Manager should have knowledge of both. It would also seem that PMPs the Project Management Professional certification of the PMI can earn PDUs by completing PRINCE2 Training. PRINCE2 practitioners do not need to complete the equivalent of PDUs but do need to take a recertification exam every 5 years and are encouraged to access continuing project management information on pm4success.com site which is accessible only to PRINCE2 practitioners.

There are some thoughtprovoking studies out there on the topic of how PRINCE2 and PMBOK fit together. The can be found at Advantage Learning and after registering go to the Member Downloads page. There are 3 white papers comparing PRINCE2 and PMI / PMBOK available including:

Implementing PRINCE2 in a PMBOK environment

How PRINCE2 can complement PMBOK and your PMP

The Getronics PRINCE2 PMI / PMBOK Combination Case Study

Testimonials

I’ve just started a new contract as Project Office Manager and the client was waiting for my PRINCE2 exam result before signing the contract. The training helped me in getting this new assignment and promotion as a Manager.

Nagendra Prasad Project Office Manager Corporate IT

I just thought Id let you know that as a result of passing the PRINCE2 Practitioner exams I have been able to secure a sizeable Systems Implementation Project Management contract for a Local Authority. In addition applying the PRINCE2 principles has made such a difference to getting the work done. In earlier contracts it was difficult to convince users of the benefits of strong Project Management disciplines now PRINCE2 allows everyone to work to clearly defined objectives and in a structured approach.

I would like to add that passing the examination would not have been possible without your excellent training and also your personal input. At the end of the weeks training I felt not only confident in taking the examination I also felt I had fully absorbed the fundamentals of PRINCE2. Which was not bad considering this was the first week long training course and examination I had taken in 20 years!

I hope your impressive success rate continues ndash; once again my thanks for your help.

What Are Prince2tm Best Practices?

The experienced Project Managers who came up with and are continuously developing and improving the PRINCE2TM Project Management methodology came up with eight best practices or components i.e.:

The 8 practices that maximise your chances of project success.

1 The Business Case

This document justifies investment in the project by comparing the expected costs to the expected benefits. It is also used as a yardstick for measuring project progress.

2 Organisation

This PRINCE2TM component describes the formal roles within a PRINCE2TM project. Deciding at the start who does what and who is answerable to whom saves fuss and resentment later on in the project.

By following the PRINCE2TM organisational structure you will ensure that all the major project interests are represented.

3 Plans

Every successful project relies on minute planning. If you are prepared for every stage for every obstacle and for every question that your customer or worse boss might ask then you will be more respected as a Project Manager your project will not sink at the first challenge and you will have the greatest possible chance of producing results to promised schedule budget and quality.

4 Controls

As Project Manager it is vital that you are in control of every aspect of your project from the initial decisionmaking to immediate awareness of any changes or risks that might affect your Project Plan.

The PRINCE2TM method suggests a number of control mechanisms that enable freer communication channels and automatic responses to Project Issues. This means that you can relax sure in the knowledge that if anything comes up you will have enough warning and preparation to deal with it.

5 Management of Risk

No project is totally watertight. Learning to anticipate acknowledge and manage risks to your project is essential to Project Management success.

PRINCE2TM risk analysis comes as a fourstep plan:
Identify the risk
Evaluate the impact that the risk could have on the project
Consider suitable responses to the risk
Decide which response is most suitable

6 Quality in a Project Environment

Meeting the Customers quality specification is possibly the most important part of delivering your products. If you promised to provide a blue lawnmower and the final product is fluorescent pink then your Customer may refuse justifiably to accept the product.

Deciding how you will manage the quality of the product throughout the project environment and then executing your qualitymanagement plan is the safest way of sticking to target.

7 Configuration Management

The Configuration Librarian is appointed to keep tabs on all the products generated as a result of the project. These may be specialist products like software programs or they may be management products that is the documents that are produced as tools for successful Project Management.

Your Configuration Librarian will look after your Project Plan your Business Case your Stage Plan and all those other necessary documents. Your Configuration Librarian is a very important person.

It is also part of the librarians job to make sure that any changes to the products are recorded and that versions of the products at every stage are held in the archives. This means that when people disagree over what Project Plan 32.3 said in the paragraph about the colour of the lawnmower you simply have to go to your Configuration Librarian to find out.

8 Change Management

Sometimes change is inevitable. The project environment changes the quality specification changes or perhaps project progress is not as strong as expected.

It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to consider the impact of any changes and to put in place mechanisms for dealing with Requests for Change that come from any member of the Project Team.

If change is not managed correctly then you could wake up one morning to find your project has morphed into something you no longer recognise.

Using the PRINCE2TM Best Practices will not turn you and your project into an overnight success. What it will do is ensure that the foundations for effective Project Management are in place. All you have to do is keep an eye on whats going on react to every challenge with nerve and brilliance and communicate telepathically with every member of the Project Team. Easypeasy.

Web Conferencing Can Save You Time And Money!

Most businesses are co ming to understand just how valuable web conferencing can be to make their jobs so much easier and to enable them to conduct business all over the globe. Now a business in the United States can hold a web conference with partners or prospects in Japan by using a simple web conferencing interface without either business having the need to get on a plane or spend hours on the phone.

This also true for state to state or even across town. Web conferencing makes it so much easier to communicate and share ideas and projects instead of having to physically be in one place or another.

The amount of savings generated by employing web conferencing is enormous. Just the travel savings alone would be a huge chunk but when you figure in all the corollary savings such as time out of the office hotels meals per diems cabs room rentals and more you start to see what type of a benefit this can be for even a smaller business.

Web conferencing allows you to conduct business at any time of the day or night irrespective of where you happen to be. You may have to make allowances for someone on the other side of the world who may be asleep but you get the idea! Web conferencing is usually best conducted on a hosted service with each user logging into the same conference and viewing the same screens. Most services have the ability to offer interactivity and the facility to change users record the meeting and more.

It is very economically priced and you can be up and meeting a a very short time. Many have email abilities to notify participants when their meeting or webinar is about to begin. Many of these companies offer a free trial so you can try it before you sign up for it.

The software is hosted on their site and access is granted through their servers to your participants. This also allows the web conferencing company to be able to back up just in case of a crash or other malfunction.

Web conferencing has ridden the crest of the telecommunications wave and taken businesses into an era when they can do in minutes what used to take weeks or months. Make sure your business is making the best use of web conferencing to hold their online meetings as you can.
