Managing strategic programmes |
|
Strategic programmes, such as a merger or the launch of a new product, are critical to any organisation and are characterised by a large number of subprojects and stakeholders.
For a successful realisation of the goals, it is essential that progress and risks are carefully managed. Also the contribution that the different projects make to the programme benefits needs to be monitored.
A standardised project approach and a single centralised system for all project information are critical success factors as well.
The Principal Toolbox has a proven track record in supporting the programme management and support office of large, strategic programmes.
The Principal Toolbox supports your strategic programmes:
• Real-time programme dashboard ('traffic lights')
• Monitoring of dependencies between projects and risks
• Quick and easy reporting at programme and project level
• Benefits management
• A single central system for all programme data and files
• Intuitive software, self-explanatory
• Quick implementation (intranet/internet)
• Dedicated support of PRINCE2™ and MSP™ (Managing
Successful Programmes)
Customer case: Getronics PinkRoccade
After the merger between Getronics and PinkRoccade, the following challenge was defined: bringing together 70 local departments in one new Shared Service Center Facility. This cost-cutting programme called 'FOX' covered over 50 projects. The programme has been realised successfully (in time and budget) by using the Principal Toolbox software.
FOX programme manager Gabor Vis van Heemst says about the Principal Toolbox:
‘With the support of the project office and the Principal Toolbox, I was able to make the best of my time to maintain the levels of commitment among those involved. I could rely on the Toolbox to indicate when action is required for one of the projects. Moreover, the support provided by Fortes was fantastic.’
