Implementing project management methodologies for Large Infrastructure Projects
Context
A transmission system operators for electricity company, with no specific Project Management (PM) approach in place, needed to develop 4 large infrastructure projects: BOG, Nemo, Stevin and Alegro, at different levels of engagement
Objectives
- Introduce appropriate governance which offers better transparency and control
- Introduce a PM methodology based on industry best-practices and enabling the above-described governance
Our Approach
- Assess the current way of working, design the TO-BE situation, and provide necessary means to bridge the gap between these two
- Imagine the future situation by defining the governance structure, deliverables models, …
- Go from the current situation to ideal situation by improving the PM competences and the way of planning and monitoring the projects
- Assure the sustainability of the developed approach by providing an easily accessible “toolkit” which contains governance guidelines, methodology, and best-practices
Results
- Identification of a few improvement opportunities
- Definition of the TO-BE governance structure, roles & responsibilities
- Gradual establishment of more governance elements. Use of Agile techniques to quickly deliver most urgent BOG project deliverables
- Set-up of “LIP Toolkit” to ensure easy access and reuse of the methodology on similar future projects
