SECURE PROJECT SUCCESS Everyone wants to lead successful projects and be effective project managers. However, project management is challenging. Time constraints, budgets, overloaded project members. Learning from mistakes made in projects is possible, but only if you understand what happened.

The Celemi Cayenne™ Challenge

A company has just completed a large project. In hindsight, it did not deliver as much business value as was expected. Budget and time were overrun, and neither project sponsor nor end users seemed satisfied with the result. In Celemi Cayenne™ participants are asked to go back in time. The challenge is to see if they can identify the hot buttons – and deliver a better result. Participants get to analyze signs and symptoms of potential problems and mitigate those using limited resources.The storyline of Celemi Cayenne™ loosely follows an average IT implementation of a new business system.

 The Challenges are Universal

•  Key stakeholders are not engaged. The participant will have to consider different options: to try to get stakeholders’ attention or trust his/her own judgment?

•  The project team is overloaded. Take quick action or make systematic changes?
  

•  Time is running out and the budget is constrained. Adjust figures or ambitions?
  

 These and more challenges of project work is what your employees will face in Celemi Cayenne™.

Participants will quickly see that it is not possible to please everyone all the time. The art of project work is to balance the stakeholders’ needs; sponsors, steering group, core team, project delivery team, and the end users of the organization – in order to create maximum business value.
