Time estimate to fully implement PPM based on past experience? 9.3.5
Hi All…I would appreciate to hear from some PPM experts who have implemented PPM from scratch to get your time estimates with contingencies and any constraints you may have experienced along the way. In this company, PC is fully implemented and running- 9.3.5.
Any documentation such as a project plan/schedule would help, and any guidance for initial setup would help. Company management is struggling to determine what, at a high level, goes into what gate. They want Stage or Phase Gate setup. Obviously they have started on their own, and have just recently called me in for full support and implementation. The struggle is from some new top managers from long-lead industries and are now in a faster pace NPI world and their past Gate processes were different demands.
Consumer Products with relatively quick lead times, with room for innovation of technology or manufacturing processes, and generating lots of options of very comparable products to differentiate similar products from physical store to store, brand to brand, and for DOTCOM, at competitive costs. Many raw materials are sourced from China/Asian suppliers.
I look forward to hearing from those great PPM experts out there, and hopefully generating a great connection and conversation! Thanks!!
If you are performing a lift and shift this could be quite rapid;
- convert today’s schedules to templates
- verify with the product PMO team
- train
- release (of course I would only use tool at release for any new projects… let those running continue to run as-is)
Could be done in a couple of weeks if it is simple depending on the size of the group using it.
If you are building this from the ground up or ‘evolving’ today’s business practice then it may consume more time to test the new process to validate it covers everything. This could add additional weeks… again depending on the number of templates and size of the PMO org.
