W H A T W E D OProject, programme and |
Given that projects and programmes come in all shapes and sizes, the definition of what a well run and successful programme/project looks like, can be and is the subject of much debate and in truth can differ depending on the nature of the project/programme.
At Blue Inicio we believe that a successful project and programme is about ensuring the project is set-up with a clear set of outcomes, roles and responsibilities and a team of quality professionals all aligned to achieving the project/programmes goals underpinned by the bedrock of realistic commercials and timelines.
Our Project and Programme Management practitioners have experience of all types of PM and change methodologies and can adapt those methodologies into a delivery and change framework that meets the needs of each project.
Our practitioners have at their core a capability to manage and communicate effectively with team and stakeholders across the enterprise at a level that creates a highly effective project ecosystem.
Our practitioners are experienced in managing multiple third parties and partners to deliver complex projects and programmes both in terms of delivery and commercially.

Delivery management office
The value in a strong delivery management office has grown over the last 20 years as projects, programmes and organisations have become larger and more complex, often spanning many geographies and jurisdictions.
At Blue Inicio we have experienced the value robust governance and controls bring to the successful delivery of projects and programmes. Equally, the failures when they are inadequate, or do not exist.
Our Delivery Management Office practitioners have experience of all types of structures, levels of complexity and methodologies, with the know-how to tailor governance and controls around the needs of the organisation.
Through our managed service our practitioners can perform full health-checks using the P3O framework to assess levels of capability, identifying gaps and recommending solutions/action plans to resolve.
Our practitioners have designed, built, rolled-out and operated delivery management office structures in brownfield or Greenfield delivery environments with solutions that consider appropriate standards, processes, tools and people.

Planning
Planning is about far more than the planning tool and the ability to build a project plan.
At Blue Inicio our planning practitioners offer far more than technical planning capability.
Our planning specialists drive project managers to think about what constitutes effective planning process
They facilitate the production of functional plans, and when baselined how they are managed and reported to meet the needs of stakeholders
The planning practitioners will own the process of planning using a structured framework and formal approach to develop a plan that meets the needs of the project or programme
The planning practitioners work alongside the Project/Programme manager and PMO to ensure that the plan is managed effectively, using appropriate KPIs as a critical indicator as to the health of the project or programme.
The Blue Inicio planning practice can establish and run new planning functions as well as augmenting existing functions/teams.
We can undertake capability assessments on existing planning functions and recommend changes/improvements according to the capability and maturity of the enterprise.

Business and Technical Analysis
Business analysis
Blue Inicio believe that business analysis is a key part of any successful project/programme and/or delivery function.
Whilst the trend has very much been about product driven delivery under an agile framework, we at Blue Inicio believe that programmes and projects are better served by having at its core a set of clear requirements that provide the structure to ensure that the project is delivering outcomes that are defined, clear, traceable and referenceable.
Our business analysts are all experienced practitioners with the subject matter expertise across financial services and the skills to use best practice methods to ensure that projects and programmes are shaped, built and delivered to a set of requirements appropriate to the needs of the enterprise using 'plain language' requirements, processes, traceability and taxonomy that are easily leveraged by all enterprise stakeholders.
Technical Analysis
As an extension of our Business Analysis practice, we offer a technical analysis capability that takes the business requirements and solutions design to bridge the gap where required between the business analysts, solutions designers, developers and testers.
Our technical analysts have knowledge and experience across a multitude of platforms and technologies that allows them to transition a project or programme from solutions design to a detailed design and specifications that developers can easily understand and use.
As the project moves through it's lifecycle through testing and into implementation our technical analysts are there to drive the project through the challenges of testing and defect management by owning and managing triage to keep identification and resolution cycles to a minimum
