The warm glow of social networking may have already enchanted a billion Facebook users, but what about project management? Perhaps you’re still pondering the potential of getting different project actors to communicate with each other. If so, it may be good to take a step back and consider enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM) first. By taking a holistic view of all the project activity in an organization, management can use EPPM to better decide the priorities and the resource allocations that will be best overall – rather than on a project by project basis. That knowledge comes from comparing data for the projects, but it also comes from gathering the inputs and comments of the people working on them. This is where social project management comes in.

More than Project Management 2.O

Social project management is a means to an end. We’re conditioned to nod our heads when a suggestion is made to improve communication between teams and team members. But the real benefits are in getting better productivity from increased engagement and job satisfaction, and better end-results from more insights. As the saying goes, in order to have one good idea, first have lots of ideas. That’s what social project management helps to do. The wave of ‘Project Management 2.0’ with its additional communication and collaboration tools was a step in the right direction. However, on its own it suffered from being a solution looking for a problem. Social project management makes uses expected project end results as its starting point for defining new ways of working. Communication and collaboration are brought in to serve project management, rather than the other way round.

Instantis EnterpriseStream

Oracle’s Instantis EPPM (enterprise project portfolio management) solution has social project management built in as the EnterpriseStream module. It’s a tool that contributes to achieving project and project management objectives. This is an important difference compared to other project management solutions that rely on external social media. Third-party social networks are typically not built with project management in mind. They may not therefore offer the advantages that a purpose-built solution does.

What Does It Do?

EnterpriseStream offers a number of project-oriented functionality to engage project team members and improve project results – both individually and collectively. Being already integrated into Instantis EnterpriseTrack EPPM means that setup is rapid. Users are automatically registered in EnterpriseStream based on their social graph (the links they have with other users of the system, like Facebook’s approach). They are also kept up to date with project events by an automatic stream ticker (think Twitter). The social ticker then allows users to drill down to get detail on the project event or document being referenced.

Benefits to the Organization

If the only constant is now change, it sounds like change management could be a major factor in achieving the expected results for a project. But change management also needs to happen in several ways. Just changing dates and checking for resource conflicts may not be enough. Good change management typically also needs to address the people part of the equation. That can be anything from ensuring that everybody is ‘on-board’ for a new deliverable timeline, to installing new priorities, work approaches, habits and attitudes.

(Ordered) Democracy is the Order of the Day

In many industries, command and control is no longer the only solution. In some, it isn’t a solution at all. Between tyranny and anarchy, the happy medium is a correctly structured, collaborative and contributive team environment. Team members need to feel involved and to know that their input and suggestions are taken into account. Project management applications must offer both technical ease and speed of schedule updating, together with tools to encourage constructive interactions and discussions.

Change Management Checklist

Project management software should offer functionality to help enterprises run projects correctly while handling curves and kinks in the project life cycle. It should have practical, usable tools to help management get the best results from their project teams and keep their stakeholders happy, including:

Project portfolio management. Enabling the right project decisions to be taken to optimize the overall success of the organization.

Resource engagement. Instigating enterprise-wide discussion on the best ways to move forward and benefit from insights that might otherwise have gone unheeded.

Project vision. Building and maintaining repositories of supporting documents, conversations and data that can be consulted by participants and interested parties.

Communication. Opening up channels with internal social networking. Streamlining reporting with real time activity timesheets and feedback. Integrating with other company systems for financial and human resource management.

Positive urgency. Flexible planning controls to manage agile as well as waterfall project cycles.

Momentum. Scheduling in short-term wins to keep good momentum going. Facilities in the project management applications to delegate responsibilities appropriately if team members are otherwise occupied.

Oracle Project Management Solutions

There’s an application, a module or a tool in the range of Oracle’s PM solutions to address all of the points above. Examples include:

P6 EPPM for overall project portfolio management

Instantis EnterpriseTrack (by its full name) is fundamentally about two things. The first is an enterprise-wide view of all projects being managed. The second is to do this is in a way that connects IT and the rest of the business. In its cloud-based version, Instantis EnterpriseTrack brings IT departments and PMOs (project management offices) the capability to improve both delivery against strategic objectives and financial management. The emphasis is on a solution that spans the whole of corporate project portfolio management, while remaining affordable, rapid to deploy and easy to use.

An IT Governance Angle

Instantis EnterpriseTrack is positioned as a project portfolio management (PPM) platform to cover all project types and complexities. It answers the requirements of corporate leaders to understand and plan for opportunities of portfolio leverage, risk reduction and effectiveness. It’s also a PPM answer to IT governance needs. This is because it helps senior management understand the nature and impact of project schedules and constraints, and lets IT make a real contribution to enterprise success.

Aligning Projects with Business and IT Priorities

The Instantis solution is designed for business and IT strategy-driven project portfolio management. The Strategy Manager module allows enterprises to define strategic goals and initiatives in a hierarchically organized portfolio. That means that activities are driven top-down. This in turn ensures that projects are aligned with business priorities and IT strategic initiatives. The Applications Manager module tracks portfolio of IT applications with their usage, cost and performance for project management lifecycle decisions. It also gives the IT department the power to manage and include further IT portfolio types including applications, assets, services, investments and vendors.

Project Management and Additional Modules in Instantis EnterpriseTrack

Instantis EnterpriseTrack then provides the following groups of functionality for portfolio project management:

Demand Manager. Streamlines workflow, prioritization, resource scoping, and approval processing.

Capacity Manager. For resource optimization with scenario (‘what if’) planning.

Resource Manager. For resource visibility and allocation control.

Project Manager. Best practice application of different methodologies with flexible drill-down capability to manage varying numbers of levels of work.

Knowledge Manager. Leverages a database of PM best practices, documents, templates and tools.

Financials Manager. Tracks planned and actual costs, budgeting, capitalization and expenses.

Metrics Manager. For non-financial indicators such as defects, service levels and other user-defined parameters.

Opening Up Channels of PPM Communication

In addition, Instantis EnterpriseTrack has two modules to enhance collaboration and social networking between users. Its Enterprise Stream module lets PPM practitioners and stakeholders across the organization exchange comments and ideas on improvements to project management and portfolio synergies. And its Idea Manager module is the equivalent of an automated project ‘suggestions box’ with an online portal for capturing ideas and filtering requests.
