4. Unlocking the Value of
Investment
Companies are constantly seeking new and more effective
ways to increase success rates of their transformational
programmes.
Companies continue to be challenged in executing complex
projects. Despite the many advances in project management
and development techniques, the overall ratio between
successful, challenged and outright programmes failures has
not changed.
Most large-scale transformation, problem solving and
business growth projects do not succeed, mainly driven by
inadequate governance and poor planning.
The challenge in unlocking the full potential of a company’s
capital investment has a direct impact on market
competitiveness.

6. What is project management?
 Project Management (PM) is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, techniques and processes to help clients make
better decisions and to complete deliverables that meet a project’s requirements.”
 PM methodologies offer a way of doing business for all project team members
 Provide project managers easy-to-use checklists and templates that target the fundamental PM concepts
 Utilisation of PM tools increases the probability of project success
 PM provide all project team members and stakeholders with a road map of the project, defined roles and expectations
 PM processes and tools help the project manager and team to organize, document, track and report on project tasks and
progress.

7. Who, what, when, and why
for projects
 A defined and agreed project scope
 A roadmap for deliverables
 Documented roles and responsibilities
 A common language for communication relative to
project phases, tracking and reporting
 Processes to enable communication, accomplish
the work, facilitate issue resolution and risk
mitigation
PM focuses on measurement-driven results,
repeatable processes and clear communication.

8. SQERT Model

15. Risk Management
Project risk management is a continuous process of
identifying, analysing, prioritising and mitigating risks that
threaten a projects likelihood of success in terms of cost,
schedule, quality, safety and technical performance.
A comprehensive project risk management approach
should have the following components, which should be
scalable to the specific project’s size and type:
1. Strategy and planning
2. Risk identification
3. Analysis (quantitative and qualitative)
4. Response planning and
5. Monitoring and control

16. Common Project Success Pitfalls
Typical issues faced by companies who struggle with keeping their portfolio under
control include:
 Too many projects running at the same time that ultimately do not deliver benefits,
results because of a lack of focus or select resources and underperformance
 Strategic objectives are not supported by investment project or programmes
 Unclear scope and business needs
 Uncommitted sponsor
 Uncommitted resources
 Project mission and tasks are poorly defined
 Lack of a clear process for escalating risks to senior management
 Insufficient reporting to support top-management decisions
 Ineffective enforcement of project controls and policies
 Conflict between line, project managers
 Projects do not meet deadlines / milestones
 Lack of standardized reports and reporting frameworks for all projects - Fragmented
project plans
Large projects are
complex and
complexity
exponentially
increases risk.
