SELF TEST:

DO YOU NEEDCOLLABORATIVEPROJECTMANAGEMENTGUIDANGE?

It is possible to carry out a simple enough self-test tosee if your group needs collaborative project

management guidance.

This particular test consists of four simple questions.

QUESTION 1:

ARE ALL PROJECTS PERFORMINGTO EXPECTATIONS?

Question one basically asks: “are

all your projects performing to

expectations and are they

delivering the results your

customers expect?”.

If the answer to this question is

yes, then you have absolutely

nothing to worry about.

If the answer to this question is

no, then you should probably

proceed to question two!

QUESTION 2:

HAVE YOU REAL-TIME VISIBILITYINTO ALL PROJECTS?

If you answered ‘no’ to the first

question, then it's worthwhile

asking: “can you at least see into

and get real time visibility into

these projects?”

If the projects aren't running the

way you wish, then you should at

least be able to see what's going on

in the projects so you can take the

appropriate actions.

If you answer yes to this question,

you're probably in good shape. But

if you answer no, you should

probably proceed to question

three!

QUESTION 3:

ARE ALL THE INDIVIDUALSINVOLVED SKILLED AND TRAINEDIN COLLABORATIVE PROJECT

MANAGEMENT?

Question three then is framed as

follows: it says that if you can't see

into what's happening on the

projects, are all the people

involved in the projects skilled and

trained in project management or

collaborative project management?

If they are, then you probably have

very little to worry about.

But if they're not and you answer

no to this question, then you

probably should proceed to

question four.

QUESTION 4:

DO YOU HAVE LOCAL GUIDANCEWITH LOCAL TEMPLATES ON HOW

TO DELIVER PROJECTSCOLLABORATIVELY?

Question four is asking: what if the

projects aren't working the way

you wish and you can't see into the

projects and the people don't have

great and deep training in project

management? Is there at least local

guidance and templates available

on how to deliver projects

collaboratively?

If you answer “no” to the aforementioned questions, then it probably

makes sense to develop or find some local collaborative project

management guidance.
