Legito PowerUp 2023 The Ultimate Guide from Conception to Completion
- Duong’s presentation in Prague distilled his years of consulting experience assisting organisations to implement solutions like Legito.
- Duong’s slides featured content from established commentators together with his own content, and some delegates will have seen at least some of them.
- However, most of us don’t carry those models in their minds, and Duong helped delegates to see an overall framework and a deliberate path to navigate a project.
- You don’t need to start with a blank sheet if you are responsible for deploying a technology project.
When thinking about engagement, don’t forget WIIFIM: What’s In It For Me?
- We offer highlights from the presentation. You might find it useful to do what this author did: re-listen to the presentation and have your favourite screenshot tool ready to capture the detail from Duong’s slides.
- Duong accepts that his structure should be adapted for the size of your organisation and your project.
- We suspect it’s better to start with detail and de-emphasise some items than to begin with over-generalised concepts and risk missing some of the nuances of Duong’s presentation.
- Planning starts with considering the problem statement (he suggests the classic questions: who, what, where, when, why) with enough particularity to identify who will be impacted by the project: the stakeholders.
- When looking for the people who to support the project, you want a team characterised by innovators and early adopters.
- Duong gave us a detailed insight into building an engagement plan, defining a governance model and deciding the constituents of the project team.
- These concepts are apt to be scaled as described above, but don’t overlook integrations.
- Planning the requirements for integrating with other systems has consequences throughout the approach outlined by Duong.
- Duong recommends the project team should sign-off a written document with the terms of reference for the project team to ensure team members get clear about their responsibilities.
- If you’re not sure what to include in that document, Duong’s slides give you all the topics and headings.
- Duong anticipates what it takes to do analysis to justify the project costs (time and expense) in terms of the benefits delivered – with enough depth to convince a sceptical finance director.
- He suggested various charts to realistically assess both costs and impact.
- He recommends caution if you plan to justify the project with cost savings that point to job losses.
- Headcount reductions are not a good motivation for most project teams.
- It might be sufficient to say that the project will, in part, deliver benefits arising from natural attrition rates without replacing staff who leave.
- Duong acknowledges that projects identified as technology projects have an unfortunate reputation for delays and defying objectives.
- He says the evidence shows most project failures are attributable to the state of the organisation, not the solution deployed.
- Duong urges delegates to assess the maturity of the organisation in relation to its ability to run projects, IT capability, and business readiness for change.
- His slides included a scale to assess those maturities.
