Project Management: Was my project a success? Why?

Was my project a success? Why?

Scenario: “It was about time”. “Thanks god we are done with it”. That is the feeling a lot of us get once we finish and deliver another project. Then, an important question arises:

– Was this project a success? Why?

Problem: One of the biggest problems we see every day is projects starting without a clear scope and defined KPIs to measure its performance. And why this happens? There are many explanations (excuses): “we started in a hurry”, “the client didn’t knew exactly what he wanted”, “we don’t have a tool to measure results”, “the scope changed so many times”. And why is that a problem? Because without the proper scope and KPIs you cannot manage properly the project neither understand its outcomes. So, you can’t repeat its success nor improve your process.

Solution: If you want to fix this, just give it a try to ask to your team this simple questions before starting your next project:

1- Where do we want to get at the end?

2- When will we get there?

3- How do we expect to do that?

4- How can we measure it?

5- Who is responsible for following up and measuring it?

6- How can I share the results with my team?

If you are able to answer this questions and write it down, you are half of the way to delivering a successful project. Now, do what you do best, plan and develop/design/produce it.

How can CF help? Our platform has a lot of ready-to-go applications for managing projects and scopes. We also thought about the design and relationship existing in our database to be structured in a way that allows you to get on the flight reports and dashboards to share with your team (internal or clients). You can state the scope, record baseline and financial milestones and track it to compare to what was expected.
