A critical success factor for any IT project is to be well prepared. Good preparation is half the battle, and this also applies to IT projects. Do the stakeholders agree on the scope and priorities? Is the ambition level realistic? Is what is expected of everyone well communicated? Are the users properly involved? Can the Project Manager take the helm with confidence?
A starting Project Manager lacks the experience and seniority to initiate good preparation quickly and effectively. It is difficult to quickly gain insight into what challenges an IT project will encounter. Which dependencies and priorities will need to receive the necessary attention from the start to ensure the project runs smoothly. And how to set up the project to be successful.
It would be good if that experience and knowledge could be provided by an experienced Project Manager. Someone who works together with the starting PM at the beginning of the process to accelerate preparations, improve the quality of the design, planning and communication. But certainly also to pass on that experience and knowledge so that people are better prepared next time.
PIM Project Initiation & Mentoring places an experienced IT project manager with excellent mentoring qualities next to the project manager. Depending on the size of the project, the existing experience of the project manager and the type of project to be carried out, a certain amount of mentoring is required. During an intake we will discuss the amount- and timing of support required.
Added value:
1. Greatly increased chance of a successful project and product.
2. Fast and excellent quality of growth of the project manager.
3. Bring experience and value from a senior salary to a junior salary.
4. Less time is required from the organization to guide the project manager itself.
5. Quality of outcomes substantially increased.
