The value of structured Project Management

Whether you are a startup with a headcount of three, a family office, an SME, or a multinational corporation, you will soon need to prioritize your IT, innovation, and compliance projects.

We have endless potential but are limited to twenty-four hours a day to deal with work (and personal lives). That makes it hard to choose between projects and triumphs.

But what might work for one will possibly not work for the other. Nowadays, so many different options are available that it is often hard to choose the right one.

Keeping up with changing needs – Adaptive mindset

Technology, trends, macroeconomic developments, and user needs change at a speed that is hard to follow, even for experts. This speed makes diligent planning and organization skills crucial. Combining these developments with the particular needs of your organization and brand, one question inevitably follows: “What’s next for us?” 

You might have developed quarterly, annual, and five-year plans for your organization, but things do not always go according to your team’s schedule. Your organization should be forward-looking, planned, yet flexible enough to weather any potential storms. After all, sustainable and resilient organizations have an “adaptive mindset and culture” in common.

Agile Project Management as a method of project management

To manage limited human resources, budget and time efficiently, it is essential to integrate an agile project management culture into your organization.

Agile project management focuses on speed and multiple deliverables achieved through user feedback.

Of course, it is also possible to make it up as you go along, but this kind of organizational management will likely cost you more than necessary. If you have a clear and flexible structure from day one (or as early as possible), your team will be able to achieve more in less time – no matter which direction you want to go.

Can you relate to these challenges as well?

• Are you overwhelmed by the innovation and technology options out there?

• Is every project important and urgent for your organization?

• Are your IT projects taking longer than needed?

• Do you need to manage the expectations of your stakeholders (investors, management, board, regulators, customers)?

• Is it not clear which technology trends are relevant for your organization?

• Do you want to cut through the noise and the buzzwords?

• Do you feel like your project team is not productive enough?

If one or more of these questions apply to your organization, we can help! Using Design Thinking, Sprint, Scrum, Jobs to be Done frameworks, and other agile methodologies, our experienced project managers can crosscut outcomes and create efficiency within your team.
