The objective of a Project Management Practice Assessment is to assess the health of the processes and practices to determine what is being done correctly, to identify areas for improvement, and to document recommendations or action steps.

The Cadence expert will review documents and interview project managers, team members, managers, executives and others associated with representative projects. The purpose of the interviews is to:

  • Determine the extent of the project management process
  • Probe for specific information
  • Assess the breadth and depth of project communications
  • Assess management commitment to projects
  • Assess stakeholder confidence toward projects
  • Assess conformance with best practices
  • Assess the level of project control implied in documents as compared to how control is actually exercised

The Cadence Project Management Practice Assessment is a health check for your project organization, with specific recommendations. The Cadence expert prepares a report which serves as a baseline for subsequent reviews on the overall improvement efforts.

It itemizes:

  • The used assessment methodology
  • Positive observations on the project management practices in the current environment
  • Negative observations – opportunities for improvement
  • Recommendations/action steps to pursue ensuring project, program and portfolio success

A critical success factor for improving the skills of project people is to provide them with a practical methodology which can be applied to any project, regardless size, risk or complexity. A common project management ‘language’ that is shared across all departments and locations creates the foundation of understanding and enhances communication among team members. When organizations embrace this easy to understand, scalable framework, meeting cost, schedule and performance targets becomes a realistic deliverable.
Cadence expertise is to be found in this one discipline – helping clients deliver business results through project management.

Duration: 3 – 5 days
