Information: Although the Project Manager is supposed to manage the project, being responsible for delivering the right result at the right time, the Systems Engineer’s work and decisions determine the result and the time it is delivered. This makes Systems Engineering implicitly as responsible for delivering the right result at the right time as Project Management.
This tutorial is meant to help R&D Managers, Project Managers and Systems Engineers, as well as Program/Portfolio/Resource Managers to understand better what they can do to secure predictable projects - delivering the right result at the right time. There is no reason to settle for less.
The evolutionary techniques presented inherently produce continuous improvement and innovation of the systems developed (the result), the way the systems are developed (the project) and how we organize this all (the process).
In this tutorial you will learn
• How to determine what the right result is
• How to determine what the right time is
• How to be on time without bad stress
• How to structure the decision process to realize the right results at the right time
• How to optimize the order of which results will be realized for optimum efficiency and minimum waste
• How to predict which result will be available at which time, feeding program/portfolio/resource management with sufficiently accurate data so that they can start managing instead of gaming
• How to recognize impediments to delivering the right result at the right time and what we can do about these
• Which measures for getting projects successfully on time are usually applied, but are counterproductive, causing unnecessary delays
• Which measures are not so often applied, but save a lot of precious time, still delivering better results
You can immediately start using the techniques explained, with immediate results, as has been proven in numerous projects. We will do some exercises about determining the right result and time and discuss how to apply the techniques in your current project.
Niels Malotaux, the Netherlands
Niels Malotaux (niels@malotaux.nl) is an independent Project Coach and expert in optimizing project performance. He has some 35 years experience in designing electronic hardware and software systems, at Delft University, in the Dutch Army, at Philips Electronics and 20 years leading his own systems design company. Since 1998 he devotes his expertise to helping projects to deliver Quality On Time: delivering what the customer needs, when he needs it, to enable customer success. To this effect, Niels developed an approach for effectively teaching Evolutionary Project Management (Evo) Methods, Requirements Engineering, and Review and Inspection techniques. Since 2001, he taught and coached well over 100 projects in 25+ organizations in the Netherlands, Belgium, China, Germany, Ireland, India, Israel, Japan, Romania, South Africa and the US, which led to a wealth of experience in which approaches work better and which work less well in practice.
