Provision of good assurance within and around projects is a complex business. In anything other than a small organisation, one that does projects is likely to have at least a few assurance providers and people who want assurance.

What’s more, the landscape is complicated by other factors, like: types of assurance, governance arrangements, complexity of supply chains, timing demands for assurance, duplications and possibly conflicts, etc. This landscape needs clarity and organising.

Making Integrated Assurance work in practice is really difficult.

Organisations rarely (if ever) have a single ownership of project assurance. This is where I believe PMOs can have a larger role than they have traditionally had.

An obvious role that PMOs already often have is in carrying out reviews of projects, typically in support of project decision gates.

A less obvious existing role of PMOs is the provision, operation and monitoring of systems and processes used for project delivery.

Procedures and standards; planning tools; reporting systems; they all not only support project delivery they also tend to make project delivery be done in a predictable tried-and-tested way, thereby increasing the likelihood of project success.

The new role I propose is that of being a ‘home’ for project assurance.

Roy Millard (LinkedIn profile) suggests that PMOs need to be ready to advise organisations on their project assurance arrangements. They can be the driver behind making Integrated Assurance work.

Roy believes most PMOs are probably a long way from having enough knowledge about assurance generally, and project assurance specifically, to fulfil this new role.

As agile delivery reaches its peak, Agile Metrics is still an emergent topic.

Most Agile teams with 4-5 years of practice who are ready to progress to a more mature delivery approach and/or attempt larger and more complex products and projects find that the metrics used by the team in their journey to agility are often challenged at the project level and beyond.

“Scaled” Agile frameworks started using traditional Lean Six Sigma metrics, looking at the delivery from the customer point of view and the outcome of the project rather than the output of a development team.

Most “traditional” Agile metrics are relative metrics – very useful for a small team but not very useful for the end-user. Once the project deliverables are sent to the customer, metrics, such as story points, velocity, and burndown, become irrelevant. Moreover, even the delivery approach (predictive, adaptive, or hybrid) becomes irrelevant.

This webinar is based on  Stelian Roman’s (LinkedIn profile) experience using the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC framework for Process Improvement for software development projects with a focus on M (Measure).
