be evaluated and prioritised against the
benefits these will yield
Trace the work packages to the
benefits. Identify expected release date
Assign people to deliver the benefits
and those who will own the benefitsand those who will own the benefits
Identify assumptions and test

Estimate the length of time required to
complete each one
Establish start and time
experts
… Is negotiated
Identify the resources required to
complete each activity
• This drives your main costs
• Lack of availability may drive your timeline
• Identify your most critical resource (delay in
getting resources will delay project)
Identify the dependencies and adjust start
and end time of activities accordingly
Draw out a Gantt chart
Identify the longest chain of activities
(critical path)(critical path)
Add contingency
Delay in the critical path activity will delay
project – monitor closely
Plans are for use not for show

- 31. Reporting
… Why report
To inform
To stimulate action
… 7 Golden rules
Tailor reports to your audience
A picture paints thousand words – use
graphsTo stimulate action
• Decisions
• Resources needed
• External issues
• Re-scheduling
For legal/audit purposes
graphs
Use of figures adds value – use
accurate numbers
The value of the report is inversely
proportional to its size
Reports are for action – highlight
exceptions and point to remedial
actions
Ensure consistency and accuracy

- 37. Influencing and Managing expectations
… Influencing strategies
Use logic to overcome logical
objections
… Stakeholder expectations
Shape reality through programme
outcomes, deliverables and benefits
• “We are fully engaged in delivering a,b,c
Use emotion to overcome emotional
objections
‘Battlers’ –
• expose their reasoning,
• then expose their beliefs,
• finally expose the integrity of the person
Beware the logical objection disguising
an emotional reaction
• “We are fully engaged in delivering a,b,c
we cannot also start z”
Reshape expectations to ensure they
match programme reality
• “If we do activity x first it will take longer
to do y”
Review stakeholder analysis and use it
an emotional reaction
Provide information and direction to
make your ideas their own
• People rarely fight their own ideas
