Conquering Project Uncertainty
Given identical scope and resources, we promise our method will deliver projects more quickly. The secret sauce is in the way that task priorities are calculated. Mathematical simulations of worker behavior place this improvement at about 30% of the total timeline.
Project plans are inherently complex, with many paths to prioritize and obstacles to overcome. Each day brings new fires to extinguish. Incorrect focus decimates productivity. Which fires are the most perilous to the project? Where should you focus workers, troubleshooters, leadership? GPS methods provide an algorithm to prioritize your troubleshooting. Focus management and SME energy where the project gets the most benefit and watch days fly off your timeline.
With each GPS status update (typically weekly) you will clearly see how much project was completed and how much accumulated safety (buffer) was consumed that week. This “fever chart” metric gives the most precise and meaningful schedule status update in the industry. Don’t be satisfied with status depicted as Red/Yellow/Green and shades in between. The GPS metric is in a unit of measure you understand: days complete and days of buffer consumed.
Typical work environments are bursting with multiple and competing priorities. “They’re all important!” This environment stresses workers. They feel obligated to bounce from task to task in order to keep everything moving. Workers who have clear priorities supported by management are more focused, more productive and happier than those who default to multitasking behaviors. GPS methods will reduce the stress in your multi-priority environment.
GPS will provide an algorithm of your project to provide you hard facts/data, making your timeline reduction decisions more effective.
