2. Common Mistakes of DIY
Real Estate Projects
●
Initiatives not carefully aligned to business objectives
●
Lack of a cogent, time-sensitive strategic plan(s)
●
Lack of structured action plan missing:
●
Business case
●
Business Impact Analysis
●
5-Phase Project Management framework
3. Strategic Planning - 1
�
Executive planning = strategic, tactical and operational
plans.
• Strategy = high-level view of vision to achieve
• Tactics = means to realize the strategic plan
• Operations = goals for department managers to
achieve from deliverables.
Note: Real estate project (initiative) aligns to your
organizational objectives, realized through tactical planning.
4. Strategic Planning - 2
�
Business case and a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
determine how well initiative is aligned to organizational
objectives.
�
Passing-over step => unplanned outcome or unwanted
constraint, blocking the realization of objectives.
�
Fixing problem creates excessive costs and downtime to
materially impede business operations.
5. Justify the Need
�
Business Case. Cost-benefit analysis justifies how initiative =>
organizational objectives. (e.g. Defines how investment,
expansion, or relocation effort would meet organizational
objectives.) Qualitative (judgement per criteria) and quantitative
analysis (financial modeling) are performed with sensitivity
analysis (what-if scenarios) to test need for initiative.
�
Business Impact Analysis (BIA). Assesses risk associated with
implementing initiative.
– ? risk worth the reward $
– ? does risk bring unwanted harm to the business?
6. Steering Committee
�
Group of thought leaders
�
Evaluate results of business case and BIA
�
Deliberate over reports
�
An established commercial realtor can answer questions
and offer advice
�
Group decides whether to:
�
Return research for more information
�
Reject the initiative outright
�
Approve the initiative for implementation

9. Centralized Management = Timely, Integrity,
Reliable, Predictable
�
Use CAPM BOK to assess project, prepare business case,
seek consensus for project, prepare project charter,
scope of work, WBS, assemble functional or matrix staff.
�
ITILv3 principles and processes include strategy, design,
implementation, operations (support).
�
Daily and weekly monitor and control to fine tune
processes to ensure project produces deliverables as
envisioned.
�
Project is documented in cloud-based PM productivity app
to ensure timely documentation of project progress.
