Introduction

Our member's Global Project Excellence Centre, is keen to learn and share with peer group organisations around Project Tracking and Reporting.

Their management track project status through a dashboard aggregation of project ‘traffic light’ information. The techniques and tools for tracking and reporting at the project level are not currently mandated and so the quality of the information provided is variable.

What is the most effective way to capture accurate data on project performance in a large organisation where project managers are geographically and organisationally distributed and costs are collected in a variety of different financial systems?

• What are the most important KPIs?
• Is it possible to mandate detailed tracking techniques and tools across such a diverse organisation? If not, what is the alternative?
• Can Earned Value Management be implemented across such a diverse organisation?
• How important is reconciliation with financial systems?
• Is an all-encompassing tool needed to deliver the required results?
• At what level should the process be governed and controlled?
• What PMO model operates effectively in such an organisation?

If you have encountered these problems and have some answers but also wish to develop your understanding then this member would like to invite you to explore these further.
