Every project needs an appropriate framework in place to manage its performance effectively.

This webinar discusses the key challenges and pitfalls many portfolios, programmes and projects (P3) face and how to overcome them.

Iain Morton and David Llewellyn have both been working with a major government organisation to implement a clear performance management framework across a multi-billion pound portfolio.

They are consistently seeing projects and programmes input burdensome performance drumbeats that don’t actually consider the question of, is this adding value and helping the project manager make more informed decisions?

In this webinar Ian & David will use their experience to discuss a number of key topics that must be considered when implementing an effective performance management framework, such as:

• Is the P3 hierarchy reviewing the right data?
  • Just because the data is available idoes not mean that you need to capture it and flow it through the performance drumbeat.
• In a world where projects and programmes strive to review real time data in their performance drumbeat, do they actually allow themselves the time to analyse the data and turn it into management information that can be utilised further?
• Do you know what should be on your performance dashboard?
  • The level of detail required varies significantly throughout the P3 hierarchy but many projects and programmesoften fail to recognise this.
