End of Summer Re-boot
September is often a time for re-booting business activities. Most vacations are over, budgets are planned or nearly completed, and we get back into high gear and back to business. The relaxed summer pace is replaced by projects that are nearing their due date and new projects that are just starting. It’s a time for (re)evaluating and (re)tuning business objectives to the fast moving economy. Today’s projects need to deliver tangible results quickly to market, making long term projects a prime target for cost cutting operations.
If you’re facing this kind of situation, you might want to consider using Avalon’s Roadmap approach. It involves:
-
Defining business objectives for the next year or two (Roadmap)
-
Identifying key milestones in the roadmap that meet business requirements
-
Slicing and dicing your projects in order to align market delivery
-
Treating each milestone independently as its own project
-
Evaluating the roadmap throughout its life, and tuning it to your changing market
-
Moving onto the next milestone when ready and when need exists.
The roadmap approach is a great way to align projects with business objectives and market needs. By creating smaller projects with clear results that can be implemented immediately, it allows us to deliver measurable results throughout a project life cycle. So, if a larger project is halted at any point, we can still use what we’ve completed and minimize any lost investment.
Having said this, we can probably agree that managing projects is “easier said than done.” Coordinating activities with your technology builders, sales, marketing and operations is a challenge in itself. That’s where Avalon can collaborate with you to bring your objectives to life. Avalon’s Roadmap approach aligns with that moving target and positions the business to change with market requirements with minimal impact to running and managing projects.
