Implementing PM into an organization

New Practitioners Strategy

Lori Lambert Manager, Business Process Management| 7 17 Credit Union Oh, United States

My organization has very little project management structure in place. We do not have the position of a project manager. Projects are "managed" by the VP of the business unit that is implementing the change. The VPs have very little knowledge of PM methodologies. We would like to create some structure for project management or encourage use of some methodologies. Any recommendations on where to start.

Replying to Sante Delle-Vergini, PhD

...

The questions to ask them are "Do we have projects here?", then "Do we need project managers in house?", then "Do we need we want to succeed or fail at these projects?" The answer in your case is probably yes to all 3 questions. Then a business case for education and implementation of a system/methodology/framework that suits your company and maturity for PM needs to be drafted. More importantly, it needs to be signed off by the VP's. Think of it as your first Project Charter, and that charter is to formalize projects, processes, systems, training etc.

Thank you Sante. This is a great idea.
