Initial situation

In a family business, there was an individually developed project management process, which was managed inconsistently by each individual project manager.

To prepare for international business and to further professionalise the company, this process needed to be standardised and streamlined.

Implementation

Clearly structured processes are the basis for every successful project. Defined project procedures ensure the quality of project implementation and ensure a certain independence from the individual project manager.

PLUCH Interim Management was tasked with developing a uniform project management process for the future international business. Providing regular support to various project managers, the existing client’s existing work processes were analysed and harmonised according to the project management standards of PLUCH Interim Management.

The objective of a uniform project management process was jointly defined bottom-up in a workshop.

Project scope

Developing a structured project management process
Conducting best practice workshops to define the process
Implementation with the company’s project managers

Results

Short-term development and introduction of a standardised project management process
