Project Integration Management SummaryThe Airbus A380 megajet project was two years behind schedule in Oct. 2006, causing Airbus parent company to face an expected loss of $6.1 billion over the next four yearsThe project suffered from severe integration management problems, or

10、 “integration disintegration.Early this year, when pre-assembled bundles containing hundreds of miles of cabin wiring were delivered from a German factory to the assembly line in France, workers discovered that the bundles, called harnesses, didnt fit properly into the plane. Assembly slowed to a ne

Now Airbus will have to go back to the drawing board and redesign the wiring system.”*9What Went Wrong?*Matlack, Carol. “First, Blame the Software,” BusinessWeek Online (October 5, 2006).Strategic plan

16、ional teams, and senior management commitment to NPD13Best PracticeThere are usually more projects than available time and resources to implement themMethods for selecting projects include:Focusing on broad organizational needsCategorizing information technology projectsPerforming net present value

17、or other financial analysesUsing a weighted scoring modelImplementing a balanced scorecard14Methods for Selecting ProjectsIt is often difficult to provide strong justification for many IT projects, but everyone agrees they have a high value“It is better to measure gold roughly than to count pennies

18、precisely”Three important criteria for projects:There is a need for the projectThere are funds availableTheres a strong will to make the project succeed15Focusing on BroadOrganizational NeedsOne categorization is whether the project addresses:A problemAn opportunity, orA directiveAnother categorizat

19、ion is how long it will take to do and when it is neededAnother is the overall priority of the project16Categorizing IT ProjectsFinancial considerations are often an important consideration in selecting projectsThree primary methods for determining the projected financial value of projects:Net prese

20、nt value (NPV) analysisReturn on investment (ROI)Payback analysis17Financial Analysis of ProjectsNet present value (NPV) analysis is a method of calculating the expected net monetary gain or loss from a project by discounting all expected future cash inflows and outflows to the present point in time

21、Projects with a positive NPV should be considered if financial value is a key criterionThe higher the NPV, the better18Net Present Value Analysis19Figure 4-4. Net Present Value Example20Figure 4-5. JWD Consulting NPV ExampleNote: See the template called business_case_financials.xlsDetermine estimate

22、d costs and benefits for the life of the project and the products it producesDetermine the discount rate (check with your organization on what to use)Calculate the NPV (see text for details)Notes: Some organizations consider the investment year as year 0, while others start in year 1; some people en

23、ter costs as negative numbers, while others do notCheck with your organization for their preferences21NPV CalculationsReturn on investment (ROI) is calculated by subtracting the project costs from the benefits and then dividing by the costs ROI = (total discounted benefits - total discounted costs)

24、/ discounted costsThe higher the ROI, the betterMany organizations have a required rate of return or minimum acceptable rate of return on investment for projectsInternal rate of return (IRR) can by calculated by finding the discount rate that makes the NPV equal to zero22Return on InvestmentAnother

25、important financial consideration is payback analysisThe payback period is the amount of time it will take to recoup, in the form of net cash inflows, the total dollars invested in a projectPayback occurs when the net cumulative discounted benefits equals the costsMany organizations want IT projects

26、 to have a fairly short payback period23Payback Analysis24Figure 4-6. Charting the Payback PeriodA weighted scoring model is a tool that provides a systematic process for selecting projects based on many criteriaIdentify criteria important to the project selection processAssign weights (percentages)

27、 to each criterion so they add up to 100%Assign scores to each criterion for each projectMultiply the scores by the weights and get the total weighted scoresThe higher the weighted score, the better25Weighted Scoring Model26Figure 4-7.

Balanced Scorecard ExampleAfter deciding what project to work on, it is important to let the rest of the organization knowA project charter is a document that formally recognizes the existence of a project and

30、 provides direction on the projects objectives and managementKey project stakeholders should sign a project charter to acknowledge agreement on the need and intent of the project; a signed charter is a key output of project integration management29Project Charters30Table 4-1.

For this they use an integrated toolbox, including PM tools, methods, and techniquesIf a scheduling template is developed and used over and over, it becomes a rep

But laggards exhibited almost no use of the templates. Rather, in constructing schedules their project managers started with a clean sheet, a clear waste of

Project execution involves managing and performing the work described in the project management planT

Fraser Bullock, SLOC Chief Operating Officer and Chief, said, “We knew when we were on and off schedule and where we ha
