A Process for Fixing Broken Things Stuart Robbins iCIO Consulting February 2000
iCIO Project Audit Methodology • Identify Structural and/or Organizational Barriers • Create “Communication API’s” • Review All Core Assumptions • Re-set Customer Expectations • BC/AD: Start Again, and Deliver
Identify Structural/Organizational Barriers • Perform architectural (design) review • Analyse teams and management for organizational issues • Establish clear decision-making process and ownership • Clearly define the open issues
Create “Communication API’s” • Establish unified core and extended teams • Establish steering committee and rules of engagement • Ensure that all issues are communicated by means of the core team
Review All Core Assumptions • Identify “Fundamental Attribution Errors” • Escalate those immediately for resolution
Re-set Customer Expectations • Establish moratorium on changes or additions until analysis is complete • Fully integrate disconnected elements of existing plan(s) in core team • Establish new plan, schedule, and budget • Clearly communicate new plan to steering committee
BC/AD: Start Again, and Deliver • That was then, this is now - core team and steering committee must understand the difference • Deliver 100% upon the re-set commitments
