Abstract:

Enterprise-wide Project Management (EPM) Metrics involves a need to change the enterprises’ culture. It affects the whole enterprise at every level from the boardroom to the plant floor. EMP aligns the enterprise’s resources to achieve metrics management in defining its Vision, Mission, Strategic Initiatives and Objects and enables the translation of their VMSO into executable portfolios, programs, and projects that incorporate metrics management processes. Metrics Management begins with strategic planning, and progresses through developing business objectives, and continues with establishing metrics management in portfolios, programs, and projects. The enterprise as a whole must recognize and adopt new attitudes that embrace metrics management best practices as the normal business function. This change in attitude enables the enterprise to bring the full power of project business management to bear in the battle of continued business growth and, in many cases, ultimate survival in today’s highly competitive global market. It is not an easy thing to do, but the rewards of accomplishing enterprise-wide metrics management are significant. Establishing Metrics Management enterprise-wide is a project. Treating it as such by developing a plan with all of the critical steps are in place at the start will help to ensure that a creating the initiative gets started right, and continues making the right moves that will lead to success.
