4. $$ The Project Challenge •  Resistance and inadequate sponsorship are common reasons that projects fail to deliver desired results •  Leaders underestimate how hard it is to drive people from a known comfort zone – no matter how desirable the future seems •  Whether the starting point is a crisis or an opportunity, the challenge remains that a project changes the way employees, customers, and investors perceive, experience, or cope with the project change •  Even if the future reality is clear and compelling and better than today, the project also has to be framed as necessary or even inevitable •  Realities of change •  PMBOK 4.0 •  People, Process, Technology 5

5. $$ The Project Challenge •  Project Management identiﬁes requirements to address various needs, concerns, and expectations of the stakeholders as the project is planned and carried out. •  Project management balances organization and project constraints included, but not limited to: scope, quality, schedule, budget, resources, and risk. •  The latest version of Project Management Institute’s PMBOK 4.0 indexes the following words: §  project 6,030 times, §  process 1,845, §  change 760, §  results 234, and §  people 49 times -- a people to process ratio of 1:123? •  Realities of change •  PMBOK 4.0 – The Project Management Book of Knowledge, " The Project Management Institute •  People, Process, Technology 6

6. $$ The Project Challenge - People rely on frameworks to make sense of their world" •  Change disrupts patterns and transition presents confusion, both create desire to revert to what is known •  Scope presents a map and the compass bearings for change. To manage change, you ﬁrst need to manage scope. •  A project may make all the business sense in the world, but people are emotional and emotions impact decision-making •  Projects present interpretation along 3 spectrums: 1.  personal case vs. business case 2.  emotional vs. rational 3.  qualitative vs. quantitative •  It takes people to deliver a project, execute a process, manage change, and deliver results, a dramatic shift from a 1:178 people to process ratio •  Realities of change •  PMBOK 4.0 •  People, Process, Technology 7

The focus is to address and minimize negative results of change and typically done during team meetings to ensure that the strategy will incorporate a diverse perspective. Those issues with high degrees of impact are addressed first and given more time, energy and focus. After impact strategy development, the strategy is reviewed with the project sponsor. Findings should be factored into the project scope and project constraints. Impact strategy development Source: Deloitte Consulting 23

You have just been told the resource who built the estimate for the work breakdown structure is not available for the project. A replacement has been identiﬁed and will join the project. You note that the replacement has a lower hourly rate than the original, however, the replacement has less experience (estimated at 40% less experience) and is only available 50% of the time. Using the details below and the formulas to the left, how can you quantify the impact the replacement will have on the project cost and the project duration? Original resource: Substitute resource Staff production or productivity 1 .6 (.4 less effective than original) Staff rate $350 $170 Effort 40 (fulltime) 50% 55
