Why ARM chose Project Server 2010
Where we were & the problems we had Project Management methodology established over 15
years
Growing business reliant on a diverse set of bespoke & ageing systems
Needed a solution that could deliver A scalable and maintainable PMIS platform Enterprise wide consistency, flexibility, reporting & analysis Accessibility for a diverse client computing landscape At least the features provided by the current system, integrated in
one place
Phase 1 Phase next…
1-5 year resource planning Scenario based modelling Product lifecycle & analysis Enhanced customer &
sales integration HR planning integration Process visualization User configurable
notifications & digests
MSP schedule Single role-based web

The ARM PMIS feature set
Checklists save lives and projects The problem of extreme complexity
“This has never been a problem before”
There are bad and good checklists
But we don’t like checklists!“The truly great are daring, innovative, they improvise, take risks. They do not have protocols and checklists”
Proceed at risk, report reality
Stage Entry ‘Assessments’ Checklist based Defined for an overall project type Assess risk of continuing Provide external governance & approval Empower the project manager to report reality and proceed at risk Report and manage misalignments
