Management System Implementation
Example Project Plan Snippet
| This is a snippet from a
Project Plan in project software. I am a firm believer in project plans. Even
smaller companies should use a plan. I am also aware of how often they change
with circumstances. |
|
| I highly recommend a
tracking method. One of the worst things you can do in an implementation is
lose control of the status of the project on a level of individual
responsibilities. At Motorola in Guadalajara we help meetings every Thursday.
It was in the ‘War Room’. Chairs were removed from the conference room. Each
element had been assigned to a point person. Systems documents and status
were posted on the walls as well as an overall progress chart. Every ‘point
person’ had 5 minutes to state the status of their element and 5 minutes more
to answer questions. The plant manager and all upper management attended each
meeting. Absences were simply not allowed and there were none. |
|
| This forced communication
and an honest assessment weekly (we did the implementation in 6 months -
~4000 souls). If someone had a resource issue, this meeting is where it was
to be brought up for immediate resolution (no waiting while upper management
‘thinks about it’). |
