Gateway Reviews

Modeled on the OGC's Gateway Review process, engagedprojects can assist you in reviewing progress against your existing plan - we don't have to have been your project management resource - in fact we can probably be more objective in the review if we haven't.


Take a look at the link to the OGC website in relation to Gateways...

From Strategic Assessment to Benefits Review, the Gateway review process is there to give assurance to the organisation that the process is being faithfully followed and that the investment of time, people and money will still yield a return.

Ask engagedprojects to take a look at your projects and programs to help verify that progress is satisfactory, lessons are being learned and that old lessons have been applied to the new projects.

Schedules and Schedule Management

It has been said that to not plan is unwise and that to follow the plan absolutely is absolute foolishness.

Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that "I'm swamped" feeling.
(Norman Vincent Peale)

It is clear that the plan on its own does not make it happen - we need to keep checking that the plan is right.

engagedprojects can help you through the swamp.

using a sure-fire method of working the plan down from the top (Benefits=> Capabilities => Products) to create an unique framework for the project the tasks and the workpackages (collections of tasks) are then defined to create the whole plan.

By doing this with you and your team, we can minimise the number of ommissions and maximise the accuracy of the plan. We also work through the risks to ensure that the timescales that we agree are reasonable in light of the things that might adversely affect the delivery of the plan.

There ois another technique (Monte Carlo Analysis) that can be used to add risk estimation to the plan to show the likely timescales for the tasks, stages and overall schedule.

Through the life of the project, things will occur and the schedule will need maintenance and management. We can help with this as much or as little as you require, You remain in overall control; we advise and manage for you.

 When the project has been delivered, we need to review the plan to see what has happened, what has gone well, what has gone less welll. and what we need to do to maintain progress and meet the objectives.

Coupled with Gateway Reviews, this gives a robust basis to managing your projects and programs.
