Overview

Organizational Context• US Navy component IT Directorate with five divisions
– One of which is Policy & Planning
• Disparate division level project & program management practices… no PMO– Different, sometimes conflicting priorities– Significant process duplication– No end-to-end project manager for projects
• CPIC Process– Rolled out in 2005– Mature CPIC Select & Control Phases– Emerging CPIC Evaluate Phase
• Directorate wide use of Lessons Learned
– Integrated with budgeting process

Request Management Process• Multiple entry points for requests
– No central pipeline– No standard input or output between groups
• Significant duplication
– Drowning in requests
• Focus on tactical response to requests– No focus on problem statements, business needs or
objectives– Lots of ‘reverse engineering the problem’ to suit a
particular solution
– No consistent measure of how well requests meet organizational goals
• No directorate level prioritization

Why CPIC Pre-Select?
6
“Before the project has begun, even before the business case is written, there needs to be a process for the discovery of investment opportunities. This discovery process and resulting portfolio are essential to ensuring downstream activities reflect the organization working on its "best" opportunities.”
Gartner, “Activity Cycle Overview:Program and Portfolio Management, 2007”

Focus on •understanding and articulating the problem•documenting business
(not IT) objectives •engaging sponsors•exploring non-IT solutions
BEFORE •expending significant resources to build a business case•building emotional attachment to the idea•gaining too much forward momentum
