Managing Uncertainty in Megaprojects

presentation

by John Steen, Jill Diffendal

Underperformance is a common threat to megaproject managers and the track record of cost and time overruns in these projects is well documented. While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders. In our research we find that the capacity to adapt to this uncertainty during the life of the project is crucial for megaproject performance but it is often overlooked as a capability.

Master Requirements Tracking Template

deliverable

by George Spafford

To formalize requirements, have one repository where you document requirements. This authoritative resource is maintained by the core team and can vary from a spreadsheet, such as this sample template, to sophisticated requirements tracking applications. Regardless of the tool used, all parties must know that there is one authoritative list and if a perceived requirement is not on the list, then it is not being addressed.

Master Resource Plan

deliverable

by Gaurav Kukreja

The template is a detailed IT Resource Master Plan that includes the labor resources required to produce the project deliverable. The Resource Master Plan can be a living document that is actively maintained and managed throughout the life of an IT project. This also contains the Resource Ramp-up Chart to help plan project teamwork effort burn rates (and analyze their burn-rate forecast).

Maximizing Organizational Resilience Under Institutional Complexity in Interorganizational Projects

presentation

by Ralf Müller, Linzhuo Wang

The design of governance systems of collaborative relationships should aim for resolving institutional complexity, which further improves organizational resilience for IOPs. By adopting a sequential qualitative-quantitative approach, we conduct research based on empirical evidence to address the issue of resilience of IOPs under institutional complexities. Consequently, this research broadens the perspectives of earlier studies by proposing a shift from focusing on operational conflicts to institutional conflicts and has identified a dynamic stakeholder engagement strategy toward improved resilience. This novel perspective is better aligned with practical reality and provides a comprehensive theoretical framework of governance for improved resilience in the face of institutional complexity.
