1. The document outlines Auckland Council's new tools and frameworks for project management, including a project complexity assessment tool, a project management framework, roles definitions, and progress monitoring.
2. It discusses Auckland Council's implementation approach, which includes building project maturity over time through alignment, prioritization, benefits realization and an adaptive approach.
3. Key stats are presented on the success of the initial implementation between August and December 2014, including increased project manager training, use of tools like Gateways and Sentient, and improved compliance with capital expenditure reporting.
This document provides a five step approach to adopting agility across an entire organization. The first step is to build agile skills in people by establishing an agile role progression and providing training tailored to different roles. The second step is to make the adoption agile itself by educating stakeholders, establishing accountable adoption teams, and launching pilot projects. The third step is to focus agility at different levels including focusing the product portfolio, releasing more frequently, and letting teams flow work independently. The fourth step is to not forget principles of innovation like using scrum patterns, the lean startup approach, and flexible budgeting frameworks. The final step is that frameworks are just tools and the core is to create a simple but reliable agile process.
