Project and Program Assessment

Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) can be complex. Studies suggest that more than half of all IT projects fail to deliver the expected benefits. An assessment of a project, with attention to management and readiness, can help you better understand your risks and execute more successfully on your projects.

VMC Consulting provides focused resources, attention, and capacity for planning and execution of project, program, portfolio and enterprise management. We conduct a maturity assessment as a current state view, and work together with you to determine the best path toward success. We provide flexible consulting and scalable outsourcing solutions to help you reach your business goals.

Our maturity assessment helps to align your projects, programs, portfolios and enterprise to the strategic goals of your business. We consider every aspect of a project to determine the strengths and weaknesses, in order to get a clear view of where your project is and where it is going. Beginning with the business case, it is important to understand the success metrics that will determine if the program is on time, on budget and on goal. Stakeholders are identified. Scope is evaluated for clear definition.

Methodologies and tools are weighed to support a quality framework. The project architecture and project teams are reviewed for definition, roles and responsibilities, and there is a clear understanding of the critical success factors and risks. The financial metrics and goals are clarified, and a review and audit process is established to ensure that the project is regularly measured against baselines.

An effective maturity assessment will provide the sponsors with a clear understanding of the potential risks and business value. Consideration is also given to the people, processes and tools involved, evaluated against agreed upon metrics to measure progress. It is this foundation that will help to reduce the risk of failure and improve the probability of success. At VMC, we understand that sound planning methods, quality management, a clear business case and defined requirements are the keys to achieving your business goals.

Let VMC conduct a maturity assessment as the first step in helping you maintain your high performance business.
