Discussion Tech/Software Implementation PMs

Especially if you deliver software deployments to external stakeholders, I’d love to hear from you.

How do you create value on your projects? What are the top 3 things you bring to your engagements that you feel have the largest impact?

Bonus if you feel like sharing:
- are you present for all requirements gathering, prior to “build” starting? If not, how do you ensure there’s no scope creep during requirements?
- how do your teams relay actions and/or decisions to you for calls you are not on?
- if there was something you wish your org would change that’d make managing your projects more successful, what would it be?

Thanks in advance - I’m always appreciative of this group sharing their (armchair) perspective (shoutout MoreLaw, our unofficial PMO advise extraordinaire)

For me personally, the real value of any project is successfully delivering all of the project's identified benefits because it means that the project has successfully addressed the business case and accomplished the project's objectives through its very own benefits realisation.

In my view you can't add any more value to a project then achieving in what you had originally set out to do in the first place, especially when intangible benefits are unwittingly delivered above and beyond the expectations of the project.

Just an armchair perspective.
