Project & Portfolio The Future is Now! June 2014
Your Speakers Fraser Hirsch Manager, Information Security & Project Office, City of Ottawa Mark Feher Director, Portfolio & Project Services, Empowered Networks
Agenda City of Ottawa journey towards Project & Portfolio Where we were What we did What we learned Where we are going Empowered Networks role
Where we were Difficult to prioritize projects No resource planning or utilization Poor status reporting for projects No formal or consistent Program management Inconsistent use of Business processes
Where we were Projects and Programs managed in silos Inability to manage interdependencies between projects and programs..ms Project, Excel, Word, Power Point, Visio, SAP, email, etc
What was working Portfolio Value (PfVM) and Project Lifecycle (PLC) methodologies Project templates, deliverables, etc. Monitor compliance to ITS PMO standards for mandatory deliverables as projects move between Phases And we became the PMO Police
What we did Research - Project and Portfolio tools Scan of other municipalities indicated use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software solutions RFP development (Q4 2011) RFP evaluation and award (Q1 2012) Initial implementation (Q3/Q4 2012)
What we did Early Adopter program for ServiceOttawa (Q3/Q4 2012) Lessons learned (Q1 2013)
What we gave them Process Governance Applications Release Services Decision Registry Risk / Issue Registry Action Registry Metrics Templates Requirements Schedules Project Status Report Financial Planning Resource Database Timesheets Dept and Other Work Workflow Collaboration Space Document Dashboards and Reporting Projects Ideas Products Assets Scope Change Service Portfolio
What we learned All they really wanted was good Status Reporting NOW WHAT??????
We needed help Engaged Empowered Networks to develop a PPM Roadmap ITS PMO contracted Empowered Networks Premier partner of CA Technologies Specialists in CA Clarity PPM implementations and project management best practices
PPM Roadmap The Product CA Clarity - SaaS Enterprise class Scalable Comprehensive functionality Best in class configurability So what went wrong? Product complexity requires extensive experience and use to configure, control and maintain
PPM Roadmap Solution Effective roll-out of PPM functionality benefits extensively from real experiences with PMOs and PPM Capability Rollout Key to success factors o Business process driven solutioning o Plan to roll-out in Bite sized releases
But first an early win: Release 0 Status Reporting Before Inconsistent Incomplete Not all the right work being done Time consuming Many tools and formats No history Difficult review and quality process After One Standard, One Tool All key elements included Auto-populates report with project data Status Reporting Data Collection Simple review process History of Status Publish Final Status Status Reporting Crystal Report
Roadmap Release Approach Interviews to find Pain Points for value Natural Progression of Functionality o functionality in each release is correlates to the next release o size of the release expected to be 3-6 months o met the need of the early adopters functionality to address pain points Releases do not have to be rolled out to every branch/unit o Once available, they can be activated through a roll-out process
The Initial Roadmap
Release 1 - Intake and Portfolio Planning Before Excel hell Limited Estimating Capability Difficult to Assess Ability to deliver Show and Tell CITMT Spreadsheets/lists Initial project estimation After Involves many Clarity Components Directly Supports Business Process Idea Content Builds as Idea moves through the process Stage-Gate Pipeline associates Ideas with Idea Process Simple automation tool (Work Status) keeps stages and states accurate Security and Architecture assessments Web-based Categorization & Ranking Supports one-time users Rapid Initial project Schedule/ Estimation with role-based planning Reporting Ready as we learn from Operationalizing this Quarter
Release 2 Resource Before Excel Hell Still Missing 70% of the story (keeping the lights on) No ability to identify resource conflicts or interdependencies Show and Tell CITMT Spreadsheets/lists Example Resource Loading Views from EmpoweredPPM Work In Progress to achieve Tactical and operational planning (70% of the story) Business Processes Project Schedules Master/Sub-Project Interdependent Roles/Resource Assignments cover 100% of Work Clarity Components Involved Balancing the Portfolio Demand/Capacity
So... What s next Revisit the roadmap Meet pent up demand Demand for financial management and integration We have some of the building blocks
The Initial Roadmap
The SAGA continues Bad status reporting Chaotic and unpredictable intake process Siloed, reactive program planning Good status reporting A predictable and balanced intake process Integrated planning and with prioritization
Stay tuned Executives Project Sponsors Program Directors Always up-to-date dashboards and executive reporting Informed portfolio-level decision making Improved prioritizations and resource capacity maximization Project/Program Offices Senior Project Managers Project Managers Project Teams Subject Matter Experts Enhanced monitoring, integration and coordination Improved communication and collaboration across programs Proactive risk/issues management and enabled change request controls Process standardization and workflow automation Improved project scheduling and resource allocation Automated progress tracking and status monitoring Resource balancing and forecasting Document management including centralized storage and version control
As an Enterprise Tool Beyond technology projects o Transit o Economic Development o Environmental Services o Corporate Business Services o Infrastructure Services
Close The City of Ottawa s Project Office now viewed as a value added service Projects are managed on time, on budget and in scope Remember It is as much about processes and governance as it is about the tool
