Successful Project Management

Success through • Automation of requirements • Automated integration of all artifacts from

requirements such as project plans, risks and issues, test matrices, PMO administrative systems, work breakdown structure, etc.

• Presentation of a detail design presentation, which enables identification of errors, omissions, and/or ambiguities

State of Project Success


Challenges• The trilogy:

• Budget• Schedule• Scope

• Root Cause of these challenges:• Communication • Unclear requirements• Lack of fluidity and synchronization of project

artifacts among project phases


Written Communication are gathered and documented using the following tools

• Narrative requirements• Flow charts• Venn diagrams• State diagrams• Use cases


Challenges with existing tools

• Graphical presentation of logic flows consist of “shapes” superimposed with text

• These structural approaches do not support project artifacts’;

– Integration –Correlation–Synchronization

• Results are Project artifacts created independent of one another


Today’s Communication Tools’ structures do not support automated creation of artifacts from

requirements

The trick is to keep all these artifacts synchronized

Information is “King”

• Project Information, how it’s maintained, applied, and communicated can make the difference between success and failure

• Today’s Project Management artifacts are created separate from one another and maintained in a fractured, disparate manner.

• Synchronization, integration, and cohesion, through automation are costly in dollars, time, and resources


The NWIS Blueprint©A revolutionary new paradigm

• Requirements are gathered as structured text rather than as graphic symbols

• A Detail Design presentation is generated at any time from the requirements’ text base

• The structured text based repository driven by XML enables;– Automated generation of project artifacts from a single

source– Synchronization, correlation, and integration of all project

artifacts– Empowerment of PMO, Project Manager, sponsor and

Stakeholders• A snapshot in time of the health of the initiative

Whatever you can Imagine


Common Theme

• What binds all these artifacts together are requirements

• Without thorough, well articulated requirements, the usefulness of each and every one of these artifacts is impaired

• Non synchronization of all project artifacts may lead to confusion and inappropriate actions adversely impacting costs, schedule, and scope


Automated requirements

• Gather• Document• Present• Interactive, real time update and

maintenance


Detail Design Presentation

• Universally recognized• Easily understood by Business &

technicians alike • Simple to use• Powerful results


Produce requirements that are:

• Clear• Concise• Free of Errors, Omissions, and/or

Ambiguities


Realize Organizational Project Objectives

• Accelerate the pace of deliverables• Decrease Costs• Ensure the quality & integrity of products

and/or processes produced• Seamlessly integrate all phases of project

management processes
