Share your experience working with GOVT departments in India and global and how different from managing other private companies projects, which project life cycle and model suits much?

Thanks for sharing your views. My observations are: You do anything they take a lot of time in finalizing and signing the documents whether it is a project charter, project plan, business rule/specifications, etc. Also one of the big problem in govt. projects are, transfer of Authorised officer from one location to other frequently so when another new authorized officer start looking into the project then you have to start from scratch to educate them, make them understand. Most of the govt. projects get failed because of no clarity of inputs, objective, requirements, state official doing work on central funded, they are not bothered to give required data or time-consuming. Also, projects are influenced by politicians.

True and one of the basic difference in govt. & private company projects are:
Private companies are very clear about requirements and objectives and very quick and resolving your queries to execute the projects but in govt. projects many additional components are involved and they are not clear about anything and very time consuming for defining anything, also most of the decisions happens to depend upon political influence.

Sergio that might be the case if the Government are run like private companies! I never seen that! best

Not at all. I working on both sides not only for Argentine Goverment, for other goverments in Europe and USA too (LATAM too obvious). You will find into private companies the same variables than government. Some people said burocracy is a must in governemt. You will find burocracy on lot of private companies mainly hugh companies. Other people said politics is a must. You will find the same in private companies. What people mostly forgot is before to create a solution the buisness analyst (for putting it into a role where people can find more information) must understand the organizational architecture and then helping to create the solution. With that on hand the project manager will create all related to project. There is no reason to suppose that goverment and private are diferent in scence. is the same to run a project in LATAM or Europe or to run a project inside software domain or retail domain. The scence is the same.

My views are completely different because I have worked for a Private organization for almost 14 years which includes a lot of projects for USA and Europe countries and almost 10 years for govt. organizations in Asian continents found a lot of differences. One major difference I found is that, in govt. the organization no accountability of authorized officer and they have many ways to escape from their responsibility and accountability so this factor makes more challenging who working with them. The 2nd major factor is that, for govt. organizations you have to work in two different modes like proper liaising and providing a technical solution to the requirements to satisfy them before they get transferred.

The same into private organizations If you have a person accountable it does not matter it will help you. For example, if you annual objetives do not match with project objectives. The second point you stated can be the same into private institutions.

Thanks for your views, it means all possibility exists in both govt. organization and Private company projets but I haven't come across.
