The document discusses the importance of conducting project health checks. It notes that according to a global report, only 32% of projects succeed in being delivered on time and on budget. Conducting a health check using a 10-point checklist can identify any issues, ensure projects are properly aligned with organizational strategy and priorities, and increase the chances of project success. PM-Partners offers various health check services that provide an impartial review of project performance against objectives and best practices. Regular health checks can help organizations deliver more successful projects.
Mr. Zelikovitz will discuss the improtance of developing and implementing a culture and processes that enable an organization to align its projects with the strategic objectives of the organization through an effective Benefits Realization Management process. With a focus on PMI's 2016 Thought Leadership Series - Creating lasting value: Benefits Realization Management, Mr. Zelikovitz will highlight a number of key issues including, but not limited to:
Strengthening benefits awareness within the C-suite and with project management practitioners;
Who is responsible for identifying, managing and sustaining project benefits - establishing benefits ownership and accountability;
How do you measure benefits (tangible and intangible), and how should they be prioritized.

Research Report: Strategies for Project RecoveryPM Solutions
New research on "Strategies for Project Recovery," released in February 2011 by PM Solutions Research, shows that, despite a long history of doom and gloom around project failures, successful project recoveries are actually quite common.
Project Governance is the ultimate part of the project within which some critical decisions about the project are made. It is an extremely critical element of a project since the liabilities and responsibilities accompanying an organization are laid down in this framework, and none of the framework is equivalent to what project governance provides. Therefore, if your company has a well-defined approach which is project governance, you will be able to take far better and effective decisions. In such a case project proposal template comes in very handy. Without a project proposal in place you will not be able to coordinate your resources, equipment and other materials within the timeframe decided. This will make it difficult for you to meet your project objectives. Here we have provided an informative project governance PPT template to help you present your proposal so that you don’t go off track. This template will help you in remaining inline with your goals and objectives, and it will also help you in focusing on the aspects that make a project successful. Define your project content and key deliverables using this PPT. You can also describe the various stages, and the steps involved such as initial consultation, solution design, and modelling, implementation, etc. It is also imperative that you cite your services that are unique to your organization. This PPT slideshow has been designed after conducting thorough research on the topic and so it entails all the key elements like project summary, project timeline, fee structure, about us, etc. that you can easily use to propose your services in front of your clients. Therefore download this Project Governance Proposal PowerPoint Presentation Slides now to professionally and effectively demonstrate your expertise with a proposal that shines.

Top Project Management Best Practices.pdfOrangescrum
Project management best practices will enable you to deliver your projects successfully. Through effective project management practices, businesses can improve the performance of the team to become faster, better and more efficient when compared to their previous results.
How Project Management Leads to Better OutcomesAllison Reznick
Implementing project management practices can have
widespread benefits for an association. Here's a primer on
what effective project management looks like and how
associations might use it.
Identify the 10 knowledge areas of the Project Management Body of Kn.pdffeelinggift
Identify the 10 knowledge areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) with
a brief description, and identify which area you believe is the most important. Conversely,
choose which area that you think is the least important, and justify your answers.
Solution
The 10 knowledge of areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) are:
Comprising of a plan development, plan execution and an integrated change control process,
integration management is the range of processes required to ensure all elements of a project are
successfully coordinated.
As scope changes, integration management means assessing objectives and offering alternatives
in order to meet the expectations of the project stakeholders.
2. Scope management
Scope includes collating all the information required to begin a project and any features this
project requires to meet stakeholder requirements.
Successful projects must meet strict deadlines and resource allowances, and scope creep always
has a detrimental effect if not managed correctly.
3. Time management
Time restrictions vary depending on the nature of the project, but a well structured plan and
schedule plays an essential part.
Time management includes the development of a timeline, decisions of project milestones and
the structuring of schedules and activities.
4. Cost management
Including four process areas, a key technique to manage costs is Earned Value Management –
EVM.
A project manager must practice effective cost management by estimating, budgeting, funding,
managing and controlling costs so that they remain within the pre approved project budget.
5. Quality management
A project is no good if it fails to meet sponsor requirements and expected deliverables.
An organisation must determine quality policies, responsibilities and project objectives so it
meets original needs and specifications
6. Human resource management
A team must be put together and managed so they perform well and can satisfy the demands of a
project.
The size of project teams can vary, but all team members must be organised, managed and led
effectively.
7. Communicatiosn management
For a project to be successful, the correct people must receive the right information at the
appropriate time.
Communication management entails identifying what information should be communicated with
the team and who it should be told to who will use the information effectively.
Communication includes the planning, creation, distribution, retrieval, management and
monitoring of how information is relayed.
8. Risk management
A project manager must be competent in risk management.
The practice is crucial in projects to identify, plan for, analyse, respond, and control any factors
that might dangerously affect a project and put the project team or end users at risk.
Effective risk management maximises the realisation of opportunities.
9. Procurement management
Procurement of resources means purchasing or acquiring materials, services or results requir.

8 Project Management Steps To Increase Productivity And Profitability.docxSameerShaik43
Projects cannot achieve success if there is not assigned a leader to supervise the team and liaison with clients. It is for this reason project managers are selected for the job. They are leaders whose task is to oversee projects, determine project scope, production details and budget. Strategies implemented should allow them to adapt to changes quickly and ensure the team moves towards achieving a common goal.

How to Solve Top Project Management ChallengesOrangescrum
Project Management and challenges go hand in hand. No matter what you do they are just inseparable. As a project manager, you need to understand the Project Management Challenges and do your planning and execution.http://blog.orangescrum.com/
Hello Everyone,
I would like to share the project management presentation.this presentation helps for healthcare students or anyone who is interested in project management.

2. Now Is Not the Time to Deliver Unsuccessful Projects
“Now is not the time to deliver unsuccessful projects,” says Pete Swan, Managing
Director, PM-Partners group. “The projects you deliver have to be effective and
deliver value. To leverage the emerging growth opportunities, the projects you run
need a solid justification, effective execution and solid returns.”
If the questions on the following page ring warning bells Swan advises putting a plan
of action in place.
Problems with project execution are clearly evident. According to a global report by
the highly respected Standish Group, "CHAOS Summary 2009", there has been a
marked decrease in project success rates, with only 32% of all projects succeeding.
That is, delivered on time and on budget. These figures also show a substantial
increase in both cost and time overruns.
Explaining the results, Swan says, “The results of the CHAOS report are disturbing.
During periods of recovery, corners are often cut, planning times reduced, available
people used instead of the right people and there is a lack of adherence to good
practice. In our experience this always leads to cost blowouts over the medium term.
This is the third downturn we have been through and, as always, we are now seeing a
significant influx of project rescue requests.”
“Demand for project health checks is booming,” says Swan. “Organisations spend a
lot of money on projects, but many don’t have visibility into what is really going on.
For a minimal percentage of the project budget, a health check provides that
assurance.
“You can’t assume projects you are running at the moment are OK,” he says. “For
example, organisations undergoing changes such as restructures or employing more
project staff and contractors should seriously consider a health check before moving
the project to the next stage. Some of our clients also use a health check as
assurance when a project is managed by staff that may not have all the required
experience. It doesn’t have to be an intrusive process because at the end of the
day we all want the project to succeed, so it often leads to some simple guidance to
help save everyone time, money and stress.”

3. 10-Point Project Health Checklist
1 Strategic Alignment: Is it clear where the project contributes to your strategy (do you
need to review this) and is the priority well understood and communicated?
2 Business Case: Is the project justified via a solid business case? Is it still current, are
business requirements still appropriate, are agreed critical success factors clear, is
there significant user involvement?
3 Accountability: Has clear ownership for the project outcome been established? Is
there an experienced project manager accountable for execution? Is an active senior
sponsor ensuring that organisational challenges are dealt with? Is there a clear
structure ensuring all parties understand their accountability?
4 Active Governance: Is active governance in place that not only establishes corporate
controls but also harnesses management support, steers the project, removes
obstacles and remediates project or benefit-realisation shortfalls? Are support
structures in place for defining problems and solution options for clear and swift
decision making?
5 Planning: Has a useful plan been agreed with the necessary stakeholders? Is it
broken down into manageable pieces allowing the organisation to commit to one stage
at a time? Is it realistic in relation to current organisational constraints (people/time/
budget/feasibility? Does it align with the business case and current requirements?
Have key risks been identified that may impact the success of the project?
6 Control: Is the project being executed in manageable stages with periodic reviews
and progress updates? Is there a simple and effective method for escalating
problems? Are effective change, issues and risk management strategies in place to
safeguard your investment? Have the key risks that may impact the success of the
project been mitigated? Are you looking to reduce complexity at every opportunity?
7 Impact & Benefits: Are plans in place for how the organisation will accommodate
transition changes that the project will introduce, and how benefits will be embedded
and measured? Is any significant organisational resistance being managed with the
executive team?
8 Resourcing: Are the right people working on the project or just the available people?
Have adequate resources been allocated and does the organisation understand the
importance of their prioritisation and commitments? Is internal and external resource
performance monitored proactively?
9 Communication: Are key stakeholders kept informed? Do you trust the information
being reported and is it effective? Does communication identify risks, clearly defined
problems and resolutions agreed rather than share information? Does communication
promote realistic expectations? Is adequate notice provided? Are communications
events planned or do they occur in reaction to complaints?
10 Executive View: Is there a high level map of all major initiatives, how they benefit the
organisation and impact each other? Are major initiatives reviewed when the strategy
changes? Are the organisation’s project and program skills evolving into a mature core
capability?
