The role of project management is to successfully deliver projects on time, on budget and on specification. We focus on delivering measured value through our Earned Value and Earned Schedule processes in conjunction with Deliverables Based Planning.
Enterprise Project Management We understand that managing enterprise class projects involves more than just planning and executing the project's plan. It also involves defining the project's incremental value delivery points, business value and technical performance.
Deliverables Based Planning (DBP) The Lewis & Fowler Deliverables Based Planning process is defined by the successful completion of a project and its deliverables. The project plan describes the executable strategy that will produce the desired deliverables. DBP begins with the team defining the desired outcomes (deliverables), the business value of those outcomes and the effort required to realize this business value.
The Work Breakdown Structure and the resulting Work Packages produce the deliverables developed by the technical, programmatic and business participants. Once the Plan is in place, a schedule to produce the deliverables is required. When developing the schedule, we first assess the deliverable(s), not the work effort, in units of measure. Then, we define precise evidence indicating the deliverable is complete, not what effort it takes to produce the deliverable. Finally, we define the sequence of deliverables in order to maximize the business value, while minimizing risk, cost and activity durations.
