When working on a new process deployment which is part of a Global project, a lot of execution is passed on to regional teams. As a project manager, when asked to be part of mostly execution , monitoring and controlling piece (planning is done a Global level) what are some of the key things to focus on? What are the different template/priorities that should be kept in check and regularly fed to the centralize project team? Saving Changes...

You should have focus on key things such as templates for updating the status associated to the monitoring and control. You can use and update the project plan/tracker for capturing data such as task, scheduled date, actual date, key resources, deviation (if any) with remarks regularly as per execution, monitoring, and control. Three priorities you need to check such as time, quality, and cost. So, your template should have provisions to capture and update these three parameters with rationale if any deviations for the entire project team. Saving Changes...

It is my daily work life for programs/projects mostly of the time. I am in charge of the LATAM components when global projects are run. It is hard for lot of things I can not write here but mainly because the cultural component due to in global projects different components impacted belongs to different architecture compoents that are distributed in different continents (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia). Between all things I can enumerate I think the hardest but the ones which giving me more results is to work with the global team with the schedule they give me each time (just to remember schedule is not activities only) to put clear all which is impacting their expectations about project duration. I meant: assigned resources which will impact activity duration, stakeholders engagement which will impact activity duration, etc etc. I never started the project component which is on my side without make them to understand if they expectations about time duration can be a reality or not. And just in case I demostrate it can not be reality and they decide to keep the project duration then I record a risk and I assign the risk to the global program/project manager to make it visible.

There should be some tie-back to what is being executed on and the intent, goals, vision vetted at the global level. In any status or read-out, should have some way to articulate that tie-back. Saving Changes...
