About this Presentation
(Goal)Share is a new tool for reducing changes in projects by 50%. Three phases of projects are: choosing projects, project content, and execution. Critical chain project management (CCPM) only deals with execution- the furthest phase from the core problem. The process to reducing project changes is: define problem (UDE: changes); direction of solution (using the strategy and tactics (S&T) tree to capture project content); development of the tool with three very different businesses; 5 simple questions & one easy-to-use tool; and how to…and pitfalls to avoid.
What Will You Learn
To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
Changes in projects often lead to increased time, cost, and rework. Misalignment in project teams and supply chains can lead to these changes and miscommunications.
The Strategy and Tactics Tree can be used to manage changes and reduce lead time in projects. It is a tool that helps to check design decisions, both in planning and in execution.
The Strategy and Tactics Tree should be kept as a live document to reflect changes and updates. It should be used to communicate the project's objectives and strategies to all team members.
