Excellent alignment in planning
What typifies the absence of this characteristic?
- Poor understanding of the project team and the objective of the project
- Planning is seen as a management requirement rather than a useful tool to align the team
- There is a lack of buy-in amongst the project team of the key deliverables (time/scope/resource teams)
- Huge amounts of unnecessary rework carried out
- The potential value of the project is compromised
Associated Pain
- Over budget
- Incorrect scope
- Late
- No delivery on anticipated value
- Demoralised team
The Cause
Our experience has helped us identify the core issues for the above. A lack of early alignment in the planning phase of all involved in the project due to the following reasons:
- Planning, with significant team involvement, is perceived as expensive inaction with little tangible benefits
- Experience of previous planning sessions that have resulted in confusion and even misalignment
- Planning and team alignment is difficult to measure in the early stages of the project.
