Project and Program Management help in organizing a change to be implemented. Automation concerns Information Technology (IT) and is always in motion, as new methods and techniques are constantly being developed. The associated change in business operations is also often started on a project basis.
Traditionally, the approach to Project Management is that a group of specialists from various disciplines is formed around a task/assignment into a (program) team. At the start of the assignment, an image is formed of the products and services to be delivered, the required budget and the duration of the project. This is then used to manage the realization with ‘project controls’, the environment and stakeholders are continuously involved, and the ‘product delivery’ is managed.
At the start of an assignment, it will also be considered which approach is suitable. The factors ‘degree of agreement between stakeholders’ and ‘degree of certainty / predictability’ provide direction. Consider:
For a ‘complex’ assignment, an Agile way of organizing can be used. In this, permanent teams are responsible for a defined part of the work; that is where their expertise lies and their experience develops, since the team remains in place for the long term. Work is therefore brought to teams – in contrast to projects, where employees are formed around a temporary assignment.
This may also mean that there is a combination of traditional management with agile production (‘delivery’) within customer environments; whether or not as part of a transition phase.
CIMSOLUTIONS Project and Program Managers have generally proven their worth in:
On the other hand, they are familiar with:
CIMSOLUTIONS Project and Program Managers can therefore advise clients from the outset – in all phases of the assignment – and then implement what is required. They remain constantly involved in new developments in their field, such as by participating in the Competence Center, following internal and external training courses, and both participating in and speaking at symposia, etc.
The partnership we have with CIMSOLUTIONS is reflected in CIMSOLUTIONS' flexibility when it comes to deploying personnel, particularly in the areas of project management and analysis, combined with CIMSOLUTIONS' fixed values of account and field management.
Within the above, a close link fits with ‘Agile Consulting and Coaching’. This ranges from advising on an Agile transformation to implementing it in practice and – where desired – coaching employees in new or changing roles. There, ‘Agile Delivery’ is discussed in more detail as well as roles that sometimes overlap with traditional roles. Think of Team Leader, Scrum Master / Team Coach, Product Owners, etc.
At CIMSOLUTIONS you can find the full range of requests in the field of change management – both technical and organizational.
