...Rescuing Troubled Projects By Gary Hamilton, Jeff Hodgkinson and Gareth Byatt with Brian Munroe You are not impervious to having troubled projects in your portfolio. Any project can fail. Even the most seasoned and skilled project manager may, at one time or another, find themselves at the helm of a troubled project. Having a project in trouble does not necessarily signal the Project Manager is doing a poor job. Projects can go off course for a variety of reasons; some reasons are outside the span of control of the Project Manager. What are some of the common causes for projects to fall into troubled waters and what are some prudent steps to get the project back on course? If you poll a group of seasoned project professionals with the question, “What are the chief causes of Troubled Projects?” you are likely to receive a variety of responses, though quite possibly there will be some commonly attributed causes. At the macro level, we put forth that projects generally fall into trouble for one or more of three reasons; 1) Poor Planning 2) Misaligned Expectations 3) Ineffective Risk Management. Let’s elaborate on each of these points. Poor Planning: Planning is a foundation of project management. Within the context of this article, planning is not limited to the development of the “Project Plan”. Having a well defined Project Plan, with realistic estimates and work packages covering each necessary activity to achieve the project objectives, does not inoculate a project from falling into...

...ISS Data Classification Standards: Governance is the set of responsibilities and practices exercised by the board and executive management with the goal of providing strategic direction, ensuring that objectives are achieved, ascertaining that risks are managed appropriately and verifying that the enterprise's resources are used responsibly. Information Security Governance or ISG is a subset discipline of Corporate Governance focused on information Security systems and their performance and risk management. A security policy is an overall general statement produced by senior management (or a selected policy board or committee) that dictates what role security plays within the organization. There are three types of policies; regulatory, advisory, and informative. There are also three types of security policies; organizational, issue specific and system specific. Standards refer to mandatory activities, actions, rules, or regulations. Also standards can give a policy its support and reinforcement in direction. Standards could be internal, or externally mandated as well. Procedures are detailed step-by-step tasks that should be performed to achieve a certain goal such as procedures on how to install operating systems, configure security mechanisms, implement access control lists, set up new user accounts, assign computer privileges, etc… Procedures are considered the lowest level in the policy chain because they are closest to the computers and users If a policy states that all...

...When you hear the word project management what is the first thing that come to mind. Would it be the guy you see with a hard hat and a clipboard on site? Or would it be the person that sits behind a desk and employees coming to ask what to do next? Being in project management doesn’t have a certain look. In the world of project management there are so many opportunities that you can explore, and it isn’t limited to a certain industry. Some people get project management experience through their employer and apply it to school. Some people decide to go straight into school with project management being their degree of choice. If I had to choice which field of project management I wanted to purse the profession I would want to be in project scheduling. In project scheduling your main focus is the development and maintenance of the project schedule and elements on the schedule closely relate to the work breakdown structure (WBS). This position can be a team effort or can be just an individual, depending on the size of the project. The schedule is mainly an estimate and the project scheduler has to update it constantly. The estimation of completion value has to equal to the baseline value. One of the biggest concern of any project scheduler are the team members. Everyone has a life and unexpected events that happen to everyone in life. As the scheduler effort has to be placed into the employees when the schedule is formed. I chose this profession because I having a schedule is something...
