http://urban-africa-china.angonet.org/content/theme-2-financing-social-housing
This report examines housing affordability in Malaysia by analyzing housing as an economic sector rather than just a social issue. It finds that past interventions have primarily focused on demand and subsidized an unresponsive supply sector. The report aims to ensure supply can meet effective demand to improve general affordability. It considers improving construction project management and firm efficiency to increase affordability. Past policies focused on controlling prices but supply-side enhancements can develop a sustainable housing sector for all. The report is the first in a series and future studies will address land, financing, and housing's role in urban development.

Takeaways include tools to create internal buy-in, scope projects, reach out to potential pro bono consultants, and other resources.

IIBA 2020 November - The Project Lab Masterclass: Shapeshifter BA in a Digita...AustraliaChapterIIBA
Ben Cashman from The Project Lab to discuss the skills & approaches needed as a new age business analyst in our changing digital world
About this Event
Overview:
You've heard a lot over the years of organisations moving from 'waterfall' ways of working to 'agile', with value expected to be delivered faster, through iterations of work rather than one fell swoop.
While the seasoned among us understand there is a place for both delivery methods, what does it really mean for a digital product world? A world that has proven recently that we can work effectively from home, and that many of the services we use as consumers can (and likely will) pivot to a digital product world. And more importantly how will this impact you, the business analyst expected to adapt and shapeshift your skills and approach in this fast changing world?
Presentation Value/Learning Points:
The Business Analysis Role - Do you have the skills to adapt?
How do I know which delivery approach works best for my organisation or project or client?

7. What is a Project and what is an
Operation?
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a Product,
Service or Result according to the PMBOK 5th edition, from P.M.I (Project
Management Institute).
• A Project can be constructing a building, implementing a software program,
creating a telecom company, a new vaccine to fight the Zika Virus etc Its not
repetitive.
• An operation is repetitive and continues..
• E.g: Operating a refinery or Power Plant. These are not Projects but setting it
up the refinery and plant is.

13. #Lesson 1
Meetings can go out of hand: Our meeting stretch- we love to talk in
the Nigerian Culture. Ensure your meetings always have an agenda
and action points and you stick to timing.
Encourage your team members to really communicate. Try Delphi
Technique were they can say what's on their mind anonymously.
Ritetrac Consulting Nigeria

14. #Lesson 2
Remind your teams/Stakeholders of email communications: Always
call or sms to inform your team members that you have just sent an
email(or it may not be acknowledged or read)
Communicate constantly, know the content extent for each
stakeholder’s communication. Ensure timely delivery and you copy
everyone that is involved. Make sure you also file away these
communication records for reference purposes. A culture in Nigeria is
not to keep records/data but we must as professionals.

15. #Lesson 3
• Have an open mind: I have learned to keep an open mind on
projects. I now have many colleagues turned friends and lots of
tools that easily help me manage projects and enhance productivity
even when am not physically available on site. E.g Dropbox, Weekly
Debrief, ProjectPlace ,Asana, Wrike, Microsoft Project etc you can
research these online.

16. #Lesson 4
• Ensure everyone understands the Processes and documentation
needed: Keep a folder of desired templates, policies and procedures
for your Project. Do you need an executive summary for the CEO or
a detailed Project Status report?
• Archive Project Records: Ensure you archive your Project
Documentation such as Status Report, Timesheets, Risk Registers,
Lessons Learned Documents etc in both soft and hard copies!
Remember Hard copies may get lost, stolen,burnt, torn etc

17. #Lesson 5
• Practice using the your Project Plans, W.B.S(Work Break Down
Structure), R.A.C.I (Responsible, Accountable, Consult and
Inform)Matrix, Risk Register, Critical Path Methods, Earned Value
Management {E.V.M} Analysis Concepts etc -to monitor Project
progress and to check in constantly for your Projects health.
• Continually reference your PMBOK 5th Edition on your projects and
dedicatedly apply the processes that are needed by your project.
• The concepts when applied really work!

18. #Lesson 6
• Ensure you understand the performing organizations work culture!
Every organization is different their work culture, ethics and the
office politics. The popular “Nigerian Factor” can derail your Project
but ensure you find creative ways to motivate and engage your
team.

19. #Lesson 7
• Know your stakeholders –Stakeholders are people or organizations
affected by your project. The (K.Y.C-know your customers mantra in
Nigeria in recent times can also be transferred to projects.

20. Contd.
• Know your stakeholders-K.Y.S use the power/interest provided in
the P.M.B.O.K guide to classify and engage them as shown below.
• An unidentified Stakeholder who has High Power and High Interest
may disrupt your project. So K.Y.S is a continuous activity.

21. #Lesson 8
• Keep your Cost Report/Issue Log/Risk Register/Change Log
updated regularly: If you have uncontrolled changes on your
projects it will cause the project to lose control and eventually fail.
• Remember you can’t manage what you can’t measure!
• If there is no change control board on your project, create one
with the people in the organization to manage these project
changes and check for impact before going ahead with the
proposed changes.

22. #Lesson 9
• Be clear on your Scope Management -Ensure you spell out your
Project Assumptions clearly in your Project Scope Statement for the
Project’s Terms of Reference Document so that you can have a
legally binding agreement when you run into issues.
• E.g A Project can run into financial problems with the dollar
exchange rate situation in Nigeria if it was not stated that the rates
are assumed.

23. #Lesson 10
• Make use of Project Savvy People on Projects: This will shorten the
learning curve and also reduce the failure rate of the Projects.
Ensure also that they are certified in either C.A.P.M or the P.M.P if
they will be playing an active role managing projects.
• According to the latest Project Manager Salary Survey 87.2% of the
Project Managers say that Project Management certifications will
help them for future employment opportunities and infact 83.1%
say that Project Management Certifications have already helped
them grow in their career! So the secret of successful Project
Managers is earning and certifying their Project Management Skills.

24. Way Forward
• According to recorded evidence as of 2015,Nigeria has over 12
Trillion Naira locked up in abandoned Projects by the 3 tiers of
government.
• Way forward includes to ensure we have clear cut Project
Frameworks in place going forward. To have different results than
we record, Performing organizations and Project contractors have to
ensure they employ Certified and experienced Project Savvy
employees to cut down on the rate of our failed or abandoned
projects per time!
