IQar - Project Portfolio Management Consulting firm and SuitePro-G publisher.
People who have evaluated and implemented governance and project portfolio management (PPM) software know how beneficial it is for a company, but also how difficult it is to persuade the company of a real ROI (return on investment). When the acquisition and deployment process is launched, the demonstration is frequently made impossible due to the lack of objective project management criteria!
Thanks to SuitePro-G, you will be able to demonstrate that your PPM software is being used and that it's providing the value you were looking for.
Establish the stakes and intervention priority levels for your PPM strategy
At IQar we have developed a project management method that makes it easier for managers to identify a shared vision and issues. On the one hand, the method allows you to define a priority issue in order to obtain a qualitative and/or quantitative ROI on your PPM. Our method, on the other hand, makes it easier to reach a consensus on the definition of objectives and criteria for Project Management's various levels of intervention. We share our unique "KPI method" with the carriers / sponsors as part of the deployment mechanism of our PPM SuitePro-G solution. The following questions can then be answered using this method:
What is the primary motivation for implementing a PPM software?
Do you want to give your strategies more meaning and better control the collective efficiency that project management entails? Are you looking for a better way to manage and control the load that projects impose in your operational / business context? Do you want to make certain processes, such as budgeting, more professional? Are you looking to "simply" implement a practical and cross-cutting method for better framing, planning, and monitoring projects?
Do you have any indicators in place for your project approach : How many projects have been completed and how many have been cancelled? What are the average project budgets in terms of duration, effort, and cost? How much of your team's time is dedicated to projects?
Simply manage your Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
All that's left is to find the “right” indicators (KPI) and monitor them! Do you believe this will be difficult? SuitePro-G has been enhanced with innovative functionality that allows you to produce at your desired rate and select from a catalog of +/- 60 indicators those that will allow you to:
To control / regulate the effective use of your PPM tool
To keep under control the reality of the implementation of your project management / governance methodology
In this way, for example, our clients know monthly/weekly: How many project forecasts are late? How many tasks are without allowances and/or without manager? What is the average connection time in the PPM software/role in projects? What is the average duration of a project but also of a project's phase ? What about the number of “man-days” planned in the projects or the number of not provided initiation documents, etc.
DRIVING THE ROI OF YOUR PPM TOOL AND THE REALITY OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF YOUR PROJECT APPROACH... it is as simple as that!
