Fortune 200 High Technology Company: New Product Introductions
Initial Situation:
- Project scope routinely decreased in order to meet project due dates
- Poor product quality
- Significant overtime towards the end of a project
- Non-trivial changes to project requirements during the project without knowledge of the impact
- Overly-aggressive (unrealistic) schedules created
- Frequently miss key promised dates (approximately 10% of projects delivered on time)
Client Objectives:
- Aggressive but realistic schedules
- Ability to communicate the right priorities
- Improved quality of life
The ProChain Solution:
- Implementation design and planning
- Education and training at all levels of organization
- Network building, compression and analysis
- Project updating, status and decision support process
Results Achieved:
- Projects now completed on time in an environment where everything was late
- Schedules are now believable and credible
- Status meetings with senior management all but eliminated
- "ProChain Project Management is now a critical part of our operational methodology. The ROI for this implementation of PPM is ludicrous." — Senior Program Manager
