Let’s Have an Honest Conversation About PM 2.0
From a April 2009, Defense Acquisition University (people who know some things about project management) “Insight Days” conference, there are 5 core “tools” needed for program success:
- Earned Value performance measurement used to measure physical percent complete
- Risk Management and the Risk Matrices for each deliverables
- A Work Breakdown Structure to describe what products or services are to be delivered
- A network schedule with the dependencies. Not the toy dependencies shown in the PM 2.0 list making tools, but real dependencies found in industrial strength scheduling tools
- Technical Performance Measures for each deliverable
