Where next?
Our action plan builds on the changes we’ve made over the last four years:
|
The creation of a single Business Change Function combining IT and Corporate project capabilities will be further progressed with a redesign of the Project Management functions. |
|
|
Continue to review our resource planning processes to ensure that we can deliver our annual portfolio of projects. |
|
|
Review the annual project planning cycle to fully align with financial planning and corporate governance. |
|
|
Develop a new stage gate governance process and delivery assurance mechanism. |
|
|
We will make portfolio planning more sophisticated, taking into account business as usual pressures when resourcing projects. |
|
|
Business Analysts will continue to be assigned to projects, working with business representatives and technical experts to ensure solutions are business and customer led. |
|
|
We will also develop the Senior User Project role, making excellent use of subject matter expertise to lead the development of new capabilities. |
|
|
New capabilities will be available quicker, deploying Agile practices where appropriate. |
|
|
We will utilise the concept of “minimum viable products” when scoping projects to ensure that delivering value quickly is the key focus of all projects, reducing projects where possible into smaller more manageable pieces of work. |
|
|
Participation from internal and external customers will broaden project viewpoints. |
|
|
New quarterly resource allocation processes for in-flight projects will reduce competition for scarce resources. |
