Introduction of a project management manual
Development of an IT project management manual for central IT for IT-supported projects based on the V-model or agile project methods
Initial situation & problem definition:
The company did not have a recommended methodology from central IT for its various projects, which repeatedly led to inefficient project processes and increased project risks in the various business groups. A standardized project management methodology was also required because a large number of new projects were planned with the central IT department and external service providers also had to be involved in addition to internal employees.
Project & implementation
The project management manual was taken over from a previous service provider, as this had not been completed for various reasons. Under great time pressure, the manual was methodically revised, its content completed and made release-ready for the organization.
Role
Project manager and content development of the manual
Successes & added value
- After publication of the handbook, use in various projects as methodological orientation
- The project risks were significantly reduced in individual projects as there were clearly defined project phases and milestones for the project.
