Visibility and program control into what's going on using industry best practices

The success of this mechanism within your organization can also be view instantly using industry best practice analysis and reports without causing added work for Project Managers or Technical Leads. This mechanism improves various best practice business strategies, including:

Earned Value (CPI, SPI - with statistical forecast), Balanced Scorecards (Customer, Financial, Process, Learning and Growth - any level within plan), Theory of Constraints (from most to least constrained tasks, i.e., critical tasks within the critical path), Operations Management (ensuring your knowledge is essential and useful towards your goals - any level within plan), Predictive Metric/Statistical Forecasting (real time/instant statistical analysis of budget, schedule and quality outcomes, including Earned Value factors). Additionally, using a simple three light dashboard approach, the program office is provided with greater visibility and understanding of implementation issues. With a push of a button, statistical analysis is provided to determine the likelihood of success, including proposed mitigation plans.

The likelihood of success for mitigated solutions is also statistically forecasted as to likelihood of success based on past performance and mitigation history. Only implement or use a mitigation approach if the odds are in your favor!

More time leading people and less administering the plan

And with the same level of accuracy, find specific, objective solutions that fix, once and for all, a variety of budget, schedule and quality issues which plague your workforce's productivity and efficiency.

This mechanism was first used to resolve critical throughput issues for a multi-billion dollar US National Security program over 20 years ago. After an extremely noteworthy success, it was thrust into a series of apparently unsolvable “mission impossible” situations and resolved everything from software, hardware, and integration issues associated with large, highly complex programs. That's why we refer to our technology as "proven."
