BENEFITS OF DOCUMENT
DESCRIPTION
Many projects and, to a lesser extent, Kaizens either fail, do not meet their expectations, and/or take longer to accomplish than expected. The root cause of these failures can, most often, be traced back to improper project selection. This tool allows the individual proposing the project to quickly evaluate the potential success of the project against proven project success criteria. The Project Success Tool will quickly identify project deficiencies, of which some may be correctable prior to the start of the project. Therefore, this tool can be used proactively in improving project success probability and/or eliminating projects which have no chance of success.
What This Tool Provides
This proven Excel-based tool can significantly improve the success of Lean Six Sigma, Lean, and Kaizen projects, saving significant cost, resources and frustration. It represents years of project management experience to identify the top success criteria along with a logical rating scale to evaluate the potential success of the project. However, the user can adjust or modify the criteria to fit their unique situation. It provides "go" and "no go" indications along with indications to repair the project deficiency before starting.
In addition to the above, this tool can be used across the enterprise bringing understanding and standardization of what makes for a successful project. This tool provides users with a well-designed and intuitive interface designed in FranklinGood's highly visual user-friendly format. The tool has been designed to print its output as single pages so that you can effectively communicate the results and actions.
