In this week’s pod, we were joined by Bojan Tasevski to discuss how to turn your schedule into effective communication and delivery tools.For over 12 years, Bojan Tasevski has been a noteworthy leader in the project management technology space, primarily focusing on creating software products that ease the life of project teams of all sizes. Many people may know him as the Managing Director of Synami, the company behind Seavus Project Viewer, ScheduleReader, and ScheduleCleaner software products. The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:
·        Project schedule information is often sent as a PDF and not communicated to those executing the project
·        Planning software is more important than the project management methodology due to the complexity of projects
·        Many organisations do not have tools that can be built around Primavera P6
·        In-depth planning can be passed down to the Project Manager. This can be in the form of breaking down activities into steps. The project planner should be focused on simplifying the plan and communicating this with the various stakeholders
·        There isn’t a specific KPI to measure schedule effectiveness. The main measure will be whether stakeholders can understand the data
·        Most people focus on minimization waste when discussing lean project management, we should be focusing on maximizing value
·        The role of a project planner is unlikely to change in the next 5-10 years. Technology will become more prevalent in major projects but planners are likely to still be using toolsets such as Primavera
·        It is a question of how fast the industry will adopt and accept new planning technologies rather than a question of how fast the technology solutions become available
·        Many companies are exploring solutions that can include all project staff in schedule based communicationsTune in next time when we’re joined by Kate McAlpine to talk about Data design & behavioural intelligence that equips Social Purpose Organisations & ESG investors to make sense of & communicate the change that they create in the world for more information, blogs or to support our charities visit www.projectchatterpodcast.com If you'd like to sponsor the podcast get in touch via our website.
