The two most common reasons for project failure in organizations today are lack of senior management support and poor or ever changing requirements.

Why do you think this is?

Too often organizations jump right into delivering on a project without the appropriate level of thought around the actual business need or the problem the project is going to solve.

If you’ve been a project manager for a while, you also understand that projects cause change in an organization and many times we don’t truly think about what that change means to all the stakeholders.

Taking a “reasonable” amount of time early on in a project to clearly communicate the project to all stakeholders can save significant cost later on.

This month, we explore the value of a project charter and how to develop one that is simple and can be agreed upon by all stakeholders. Putting together the charter is the easy part.

Once the initial draft is created, the challenge comes in creating consensus on the project solution and deliverables required to realize the complete project value.

In this Part II of The Project Charter, Diane will focus on applying concepts into practice and will select a few submissions from the first session to review and provide feedback on the dos and don’ts of creating and managing a project charter through the life of the project.

Portfolio mapping requires taking an end-to-end view of the life-cycle of initiatives in your organization, but using the same strategy, practices, and processes across the entire portfolio will result in negative outcomes and results.

Barry O’Reilly explores how the world’s largest organizations develop better strategies, information gathering, and decision making across their portfolios to drive improved business results and customer satisfaction.

Drawing on real-world examples, Barry traces successful strategies across four main domains, explaining why thriving companies:

• Explore early-stage initiatives with high degrees of uncertainty that are bets for the future.
• Exploit initiatives that have achieved product-market fit and that the organization wants to grow and scale.
• Sustain initiatives that have become repeatable and scalable business models, products, or services that drive the majority of revenue for the organization.
• Retire initiatives that are long lived or no longer beneficial (or even limiting) to the organization’s future success or strategy. Initiatives that do not achieve desired outcomes in any domain should be killed and their investment transferred to other initiatives.

By the end of this webcast, you’ll understand why and how high-performance organizations focus on building capability to continuously move initiatives through the model from Explore to Retire.
