Outstanding Performance: KPIs
This is quite simpler than usually thought. People: they reach their goals with minimum costs and maximum benefits, whatever the situation; alternatively, they save the day in desperate situations. Firms: the same. This applies to both projects and business, to both project managers and team-members.

First Steps in a Project
At this stage, the project manager should be a friendly advisor: he should discuss the matter in an informal way and help the management focusing on the matter. After that, and only after that, comes the true project manager role. Btw, this way the project manager and the management establish a rapport and begin on [...]

Project Management and Quality Improvement
Never forget you are dealing with an already operating quality system, i.e, you will need to adapt the project management methodology to the pre-existent situation.

Il Project Management richiede un Project Manager, non una persona cui viene affidato un progetto e che viene spesso scelta per le sue capacità tecniche – se va bene viene mandata a fare un corso; affidereste il settore marketing ad uno sviluppatore? L´esperienza: chi non [...]

KPIs for Manifacturers, Project Management & PRINCE2
Manifacturers and KPI matters? I know some perfect KPIs in this case: state of products and sub-products, i.e., completion percentage, time and cost to completion, costs sustained, benefits, and so on. Manifacturers like clear facts. If a product (mind, product, not process) is late, they will take all the necessary actions. This is the reason [...]

Project Management ed Attività
Sono perfettamente d’accordo su di un punto: le attività tendono a proliferare, a meno che … le teniate sotto controllo fin dai primissimi passi. Con PRINCE2 è molto più facile, perché le attività esistono esclusivamente in funzione dei prodotti, sono cioè ridotte allo stretto necessario. Il vantaggio di PRINCE2: adotta il product-based planning. Attività e [...]
