Why?
You are looking for a cost effective way of implementing a change in your company through the repetition of a large number of identical projects? Technical or Business Deployment? IT Roll-outs? Commercial deployments?
You want to decrease the costs, increase the speed and ensure the reliability of such projects?
Deployment management is a genuine PMP and PRINCE2 compliant approach to effectively manage (initiate, plan, control and close) the deployment of a solution through similar sub-projects on multiple sites using limited resources.
- Solution can be technical and/or organisational
- Sub-projects can follow the same planning type or have variants
- Sites can be physical (branches, POS…) or logical (set of cost centers, agregation of services…)
Information gaps arise as the planning and actuals for time, budget and quality are managed by different stakeholders and in various systems that are most of the time not connected.
The pace of the deployments is a weighting between the volume (instantaneous capacity), the timing (when you must finish your deployment), the budget (available for the development) and the quality (what level of quality is acceptable) targets. Data are rarely cross-checked and reporting is usually limited to mono-source, mono-period elements. This creates frustration among stakeholders that waste their time in administrative coordination and among information consumers who do not obtain pertinent information for supervising the operations.
The support of such initiative for your organization requires the use of a simple and generic method, appropriate deployment processes and a centralization of the planning and reporting activities.
It also requires the coordination of many types of data present in different systems such as Macroplans, Planning types, global and detailed budgets, project management plans and actuals, financial forecasts, costs actuals, milestones, road-maps, distribution lists... and requires the production of trustful and integrated views, on a periodic basis, to support the deployment governance and associated decisions making processes at all levels of the organisation.
Quality, timeliness and trustfulness of the info are the best levers for successful deployments.
