PROJECT COACHING

A Performance
Consulting Service

You have trained your project teams and they are getting pretty good at the basics, but what they need now is someone around occasionally to ask those 'real life', challenging questions: “Why have you allowed your scope to creep?”  or “Why are you avoiding that specific customer?”  These are examples of questions that can save a project before it goes too far down the road to failure.  Through periodic site visits and/or telephone coaching, RMA project management facilitators will periodically work with your project teams on their specific project concerns.

How do you keep a project on the road to success?

WHAT THE SESSION PROVIDES
Define, Plan, Manage, Review: these are the major phases of a successful project management strategy.  RMA project management consultants use their extensive experience to coach your staff through the normal growing pains of project managers.  Whether you want to set this up as a 'walk-in clinic', have the RMA consultant coach a new project manager, or just need help reviewing project plans and schedules, this service will jumpstart any project and keep it on the right track as surprises occur.

At the beginning of a project (DEFINE), an RMA facilitator can help with the creation of a Project Charter, including: scope documents, risk assessment, business and project objectives, and constraints.  During project planning (PLAN), RMA facilitators can assess the practicality of your estimating and schedules, as well as the clarity of your role definitions, communications plans, and change plans.  Once the project begins (MANAGE), the RMA facilitators act as a mirror, helping the project manager clearly see, prioritize, and deal with the surprises that arise.  Finally (REVIEW), an RMA facilitator will lead a Post Project Review to capture Lessons Learned from your projects.  The amount of time we work with you depends entirely on your specific need, and is customized each time.
