Almost every company has been practising project management, usually for many years. Despite this supposedly high level of development as well as the large investments that have been and are being made in project management, the rate of successfully completed projects in relation to the total project portfolio has been quite low for decades. This has not changed fundamentally with the increased use of agile project methods.
Only 50% of projects in practice fully achieve the defined goals - even though standardised project management methods are widespread. However, there are major differences depending on the set-up and performance of an organisation or division in the field of project management.
Holistic project management offers significant qualitative and monetary potential, but only a few companies realise this. The average potential that organisations can achieve is around 20-30% and can be 50% or more in individual cases.

PROJECT EXCELLENCE: OUR APPROACH
The AXXCON project management framework addresses all relevant topics for the development towards an efficient project management organisation and thus for the effective and active control of a hybrid project portfolio (i.e. consisting of agile and waterfall projects):
An indispensable prerequisite for a successful project management organisation is the corresponding mandate decided by top management.
First, we can analyse your current performance in project management in a compact assessment and derive optimisation potential as well as suitable measures.
1. Strategic Dimension
Portfolio definition & PPM governance:
The 'right' projects (in terms of strategy conformity) are carried out and therefore the greatest possible benefit for the business is achieved.
Comprehensible prioritisation and continuous monitoring of projects creates transparency and facilitates cancellations in case of budget bottlenecks, if necessary.
Planning & Budgeting:
Project requirements during the year and changes in market conditions can be reflected flexible and in a timely manner in the portfolio.
Strategy conformity of the portfolio is ensured during the year and on an ongoing basis.
Portfolio Control & Reporting:
The transparency of costs and other relevant data allows optimal control of the project portfolio.
Effective control of dependencies between projects.
2. Organisational dimension
PM methodology (incl. quality gates):
Clear transparency of approaches and results enables effective project management as well as making the right decisions timely.
A phased budget release avoids "cross-subsidisation" of project phases.
PM Governance:
Effective decisions with maximum transparency
Uniform understanding of roles and approaches
Acceleration of decision-making processes
Personnel and qualification concept:
Ensuring that sufficient well-trained project managers are available
3. Operational dimensionn
A sufficient number...
...of well-trained and experienced project managers...
...ensures the successful implementation of the projects.
Aspects of success: Smart PMO always ensures transparency about project status; transparency through effective and efficient methods and tools which are mandatory to use; correct and appropriate understanding of roles; provision of necessary information through optimal reporting as an enabler for effective and efficient decision-making processes.
We transform organisations into efficient project management functions and thus significantly increase the success rate of your projects!
