Project Management: Re-aligning authority with responsibility

In a project environment, Project Managers typically have no direct resources, a pre-determined budget, tight timescales and often without a fully agreed scope and yet are expected to take responsibility for its delivery.

PMs struggle to:

• influence the resources to work on the tasks in their projects
• affect the speed at which tasks are completed
• get decisions made when a task is blocked
• manage the internal resource budgets across cost centres
• influence the original scope and timescales for a project  - however unrealistic.

In a fully synchronised project environment where Senior Management decision making is fast and resource priorities within and across projects are aligned; our clients experience:

PMs who have:

• A process to ensure resources are working on the right tasks at the right time
• Resources completing tasks at a faster rate
• Quick turnaround on Senior Management decisions to resolve blocked tasks
• Control of internal resource budgets
• Realistic scope and timescales for each project
