Objective/Outcome

To provide Project Managers with a tool to identify and reduce the time it takes to complete processes that effect project schedules.

Presentation Synopsis

Project Managers are usually confronted with situations and events that have a negative effect on the established schedule and they are still expected to bring the project in on time. One proven method to improve schedule compliance is to employ process mapping methodology to selected processes. This analytical improvement technique provides project teams with an avenue to reduce the time required for a selected process without reducing quality.

• “I will give you anything but more time”, what every Project Manager faces! The Schedule Squeeze
• “Parkinson’s Law”
• Improving Schedule Performance
• The Key – Process Mapping (PM)
• Using PM to maintain / reduce scheduled tasks
• Implementing improvements
• Identifying processes to map & improve
