When it comes to configuration change control, the project manager is at the center of communications. What is important is that the project manager is in the loop to make timely decisions. A Project Change Request is necessary to properly evaluate a change in project requirements or commitments.
Since changes will occur, it is important that a change notice log be established. This will enable the project manager to properly evaluate proposed changes based on the latest information. The first application of the Nine Element of Project management is training. The mission of Keller Graduate School of Management is to provide high-quality education, practitioner-oriented graduate management degree programs with emphasis in teaching and service to working adults.
To that end, the faculty members at Keller are practicing professionals who face challenges of a complex competitive and rapidly changing business environment every day. They bring expertise to the classroom, emphasizing theory and practices most beneficial to the students. Keller Graduate School of Management offers a graduate degree in Project Management and certificates in project management.
But, students and their companies wanted even more. The result was the development of several training courses from two to five days using the Nine Elements as the foundation. As an added feature, depending upon a needs analysis, a company can have a customized version of the Nine Elements to fit their particular business or industry.
Participants will be expected to learn how to make and meet realistic schedules and control costs using the basic techniques of project management. By the end of the training classes the participants, in the near term, will be able to perform project work more effectively and efficiently, specifically they will be able to:. The second application of the Nine Elements of Project Management is project management organizational assessment.
The feature for a company to have a customized version of the Nine Elements to fit their particular business or industry was the catalyst that led to the development of the Project Management Organizational Assessment Model.
Clients were eager to discover how they compared to the best practices. The comparison produced where and how much project management training was needed. Management, project teams and project managers were surveyed independently. Results were tallied and training recommendations were made. Regardless of the maturity level, a consistent pattern that emerged in all cases was the differing opinions of the project teams and management.
Typically management perceived the Nine Elements at higher level of achievement than did the project teams. Below are actual survey results of two project organizations. Their names have been changed to preserve confidentiality. The ABC Company is a government agency with a high profile project office and matrix project organization.
As you can see from their survey results, ABC Company appears to use the best practices of project management effectively. Most of their projects are competitively bid using federal and state acquisition regulations, which adhere to strict rules and procedures for managing project work. ABC Company project management training focused on specific procedural training, tools and techniques for project team members.
The XYZ Company is a heavy equipment manufacturing organization competing in a global market. The company has an excellent reputation for manufacturing reliable, high quality equipment. However, schedules were forever being extended and costs were eroding profit margins. The key to this strategy was a project management initiative, but how, where, and how much? High priority training sessions focused on life cycle methodology, scope stabilization, and planned commitments.
Training was conducted top-down starting with executives and division managers learning the basics of project management. The difference between the manager training sessions and the project team member sessions was workshop time and practice. Project team members spent many more hours in the classroom and had hands-on practice using the project management tools and techniques on simulated projects.
Project communications improved almost immediately with everyone using the same project language. Both companies benefited from the Nine Elements assessment. ABC Company learned that they were already using the best practices of project management and only modest improvement was warranted. XYZ Company discovered major gaps in their project management process and were able to determine improvement potential and training priorities.
Other companies have achieved similar benefits. However, an important caveat exists. The benefit to be derived from conducting the Nine Elements assessment depends heavily on honest answers to the questions. In most cases the assessment of the Nine Elements has proven to be an effective measure of Project Management Organizational Maturity. The third application of the Nine Element of Project Management is project performance audits. The Evaluation of Project Management Practices Nine Elements Questionnaire, used to survey management, project managers and team members, results in a macro perspective of organizational project practices.
The Nine Elements transformed into a checklist, with minor modification, results in a micro perspective of individual project practices. Thus, it is possible to conduct a project performance audit on an individual project at any time during its life cycle.
Download Case Study. Tell us about your project requirements The deep experience and successful track record of our Biometrics Team are just a few of the many reasons to choose Precision for Medicine. Clinical trial services. Global Clinical Trial Footprint Sample processing labs, clinical trial sites and offices in five continents provide the clinical reach and scale to manage complex global programs.
Clinical Development Strategy Tailored strategies consider the scientific, regulatory, and commercial factors that shape each trial, mitigating risk and advancing the development pathway. Clinical Trial Design Advanced trial-design approaches—including basket, umbrella, and adaptive trials—deliver biomarker driven clinical research. Biostatistics Seasoned biostatisticians and statistical programmers deliver insight into every trial phase, from study design to regulatory submissions, all backed by meticulous documentation and data monitoring.
Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. These international forums covered advances in the fields of biometric testing, and performance definition, specification and assurance. The conference aims to identify fundamental, relevant, effective, and new performance metrics and to expose best practices for performance design, calibration, evaluation, and monitoring.
New performance results are the focus - instead the intention is to capture relevant and recent quantitative testing, measurement and system-identification techniques to contrast those with the past, and to outline what is needed in the future. The overarching goal is to refine the concept of biometric performance and to ultimately elevate adoption and effectiveness of biometric technologies. This includes:. Standards and their guidance , are vital for building effective biometric systems.
The standards that NIST works on enable:. Biometric Evaluations. Biometrics Resources Center.
