Recently I came across an article about increasing probability of success for a project. I discussed it with a colleague of mine and he showed the following list of questions to me, which he usually uses to help him increase the probability of success for his projects:
- Why do we need this project?
- How does this project link into our business strategy?
- What do key stakeholders say about this project?
- Who will deliver this project?
- Do we have the skills to deliver this project?
- How do you know?
- Do we need to create an overall structure for this project – a plan that will help project delivery?
- Do we need to spend time analyzing whether we should be working on this project?
- What are we going to deliver?
- What are the true business benefits?
- What are the risks involved in delivering this project?
- What is our communications strategy for this project and how will this be managed?
- What will success look like and what will failure look like?
- Does this project link to any others and if yes, how?
- Do we need to ensure that anyone involved in this project is full time or is part time OK?
- If full time, what arrangements are needed to reallocate their work? If part time, what elements of work will be delegated or simply stopped?
- What arrangements need to be put in place to ensure that this project will be effectively monitored and controlled? (See question 6)
- What arrangements will need to be put in place to ensure that changes to the project will be effectively managed?
- What arrangements will be made to ensure that a realistic budget will be developed and monitored (time and cost)
- How are we going to identify and share the learning in this project
- Can I get some project management training?
- What’s my role in this project?
- What training will be needed for the project team?
- How can we develop a strong project team
- How will the project team members be selected?
