About this Presentation
Chaos is defined as “The inherent unpredictability in the behavior of a natural system”. This definition quite fits to multi-project management (PM) environments. Therefore it is not surprising that the following three characteristics of chaos: Time Irreversibility, Unpredictability and sensitivity to initial conditions and Bifurcation can also be found in PM environments. There are three causes for chaotic PM environment: a) Not all projects have project plans; b) Not all projects are controlled periodically; and c) Not all projects are managed according to the same methodology. On one end of the maturity model we have chaos and the other end is the absolute ability of the organization to connect the excellent PM performance to the strategy of the organization and therefore being able to create repeatedly Viable Vision results. Between these two ends there are seven distinctive stages when each and every one of the second part of the stages (stages four to seven) will be discussed in full in the presentation (stages one to three were already discussed in my 2013 conference presentation): 1. Systematic order. 2. Control of the time dimension. 3. Enterprise PM. 4. Control of the resources dimension. 5. Control of the cost dimension. 6. Established PM strategy. 7. PM strategy as a part of the organization strategy. Each stage can be measured quite accurately and the organizational benefits of climbing on the above ladder can also be predetermined.
