Why do projects fail?The people who plan and execute major projects
are often highly skilled and highly regarded. They are not
obviously incompetent. Where a project uses external suppliers or
contractors as a significant support to project delivery, the risk
of a fundamental failure seems to escalate. Is this a failure of
project management? A failure of procurement? A failure of both? Or
are there other factors at play? This book aims to be a self-help
manual. It will enable you to improve your personal and corporate
performance. It will also help you ensure that the sub-system
elements of a project, where there are 'interfaces' between systems
that need to 'talk' to each other, will be effectively managed -
with no nasty surprises. Buying and integrating advanced
technologyRight First Time - Buying and integrating advanced
technology for project success does not pretend to hold the key to
a 'nirvana' of project delivery. Rather, it gets straight to the
point about buying - and integrating - advanced technology. It
recognises that integrating sub-systems is fertile ground for
failure and that effective procurement is increasingly important in
project delivery. The failure of one sub-system can undermine an
entire project, and the integration of sub-components is all too
often assumed to be a technical problem that 'technical people'
will overcome. Few projects make integration a defined subset of
the overall project plan, yet most will benefit from doing so. A
project management playbookA management book rather than a
technical book, Right First Time - Buying and integrating advanced
technology for project success focuses on the difficult issue of
sub-system integration in the context of third-party (supply)
relationships. If you are responsible for project management and
practical delivery, at senior or junior level, it provides lots of
practical questions to help you work through the issues, acting as
a catalyst for supplementary questions and lines of investigation,
focusing on potential problem areas relevant to your own context.
Powerful learning outcomes and self-reflective questions at the end
of each chapter enable you to create key action points and assess
your organisation's approach to improve project management
governance and ensure you get it right first time. Project
managers, procurement managers, business change managers,
commercial managers, mobilisation/transition managers, product
managers and contract managers will all find value in this
comprehensive guide to managing sub-system integration for project
success.
