EPISOD 8 - CONCLUSION

CONSTELLATION BY PRIMAFRANCE

As illustrated in the previous paragraphs, effective development and management of complex project schedules requires the organizations to take decisions early, about which management approach they intend to implement and how the approach will change as the corporate organization matures.

As software module of the “Constellation Method” is build upon existing scheduling tools, using standard scheduling practices, it requires minor modifications on the procedures governing schedule development and management. Moreover as it transmits information via compressed and encrypted messages, it does not require very fast network connection between the units. In fact, the software module had been developed to be able to work on a standalone mode, and to be able to replace the messaging system with other media capable of transferring files, like e-mail, FTP, etc.

Centrally managing all processes requires the necessary PMO organization to be implemented, ensuring the IT support, etc. Development of these organizations takes considerable time and requires early, steady and long term commitment from the Management, keeping in mind that, no tangible results will appear within considerable time period.

On contrary, the “Constellation Method” by PrimaFrance/PrimaConsulting requires simple modifications on the processes and on the IT system; it can be implemented rather quickly and will provide results right from the start.
