			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry, the offer is not valid anymore!</p>
<p>Today I&#8217;ve got a heavy sun burn! The summer started and I lowered the price of the Ms Excel version of the project management health check from €9 to €0,00! YES YOU READ IT RIGHT ZERO EURO! And that for a Dutch guy. This is a time limited offer for 1 or 2 days!</p>
<p>The project management health check is used as the basis of the online version at: <a href="http://healthcheck-online.com">http://healthcheck-online.com</a>. For daily use in my office I use the excel version. Together with the quality plan we decide  which HealthCheck should be performed and when.</p>
<p>The questions are answered in an interview most of the times  performed by project support. They report to project assurance. Project  support is involved since they can check if the project documents are  really there…<br />
Answering the questions, the field change colour: Green for a Y and red  for a N. I expect project managers to explain the No’s and Not Applicable&#8217;s  in the rows under the HealthCheck.</p>
<p>The spreadsheet has been renewed and improved. Check the sample page  to get an impression how the spreadsheet looks like. With this  spreadsheet I have saved you many hours of creating an similar tool. My  project managers are now aware that I want them to think how to perform  their (and my) projects and that I want Prince2 and not P.I.N.O..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vandaag heb ik het boek &#8220;Handboek ITIL implementeren, de menselijke methode&#8221; toegevoegd aan de bibliotheek van The Prince2 Weblog. De reden dat ik dit boek heb toegevoegd aan de bibliotheek is toegankelijke schrijfwijze in dit boek. Ook geeft het boek op een heldere wijze weer hoe een ITIL implementatie doorgevoerd kan worden in organisaties.</p>
<p>Het boek is uniek, alleen al door de wijze waarop het tot stand is gekomen. Een veelvoud van auteurs heeft zich over het boek gebogen.</p>
<p>Kijk rustig op de website van Bol.com voor het inkijk exemplaar en zie hoe de klanten het boek beoordelen. Ik ben nieuwsgierig wat je van het boek vindt. Laat een reactie achter op deze site.</p>

</p>
<p><strong>Beschrijving van het boek:</strong></p>
<p>ITIL is de marktstandaard voor de inrichting van een ICT-Servicemanagement organisatie. Het is een set van modellen, concepten en processen die samen een krachtig referentiekader bieden voor het inrichten en verbeteren van ICT-processen in elke organisatie. Ondanks deze brede toepasbaarheid kent ITIL één groot probleem; het bevat zelf geen implementatiemethode. Veel ITIL-implementaties lopen dan ook vast in langdurige en kostbare projecten, waarin managers en medewerkers de greep op de doelen en resultaten kwijtraken.</p>
<p>Dit is het eerste handboek dat zich volledig richt op het implementeren van ITIL. De implementatie is gebaseerd op de I-CUBED-methode. Met I-CUBED worden stapsgewijs krachtige principes uit het vakgebied van verandermanagement toegepast bij het implementeren van ITIL. Hierdoor worden ITIL-procesmodellen daadwerkelijk tot uitvoering gebracht tot op het diepste organisatorische niveau; in de operationele teams. De I-CUBED-methode bestaat uit een drietal fases.</p>
<p>Allereerst wordt de meest effectieve implementatiestrategie gebouwd, gebaseerd op inzicht in een aantal fundamentele ITIL implementatiedilemma&#8217;s. Vervolgens wordt de inrichting van de aanpak bepaald die de uitvoering van de implementatie mogelijk maakt. Ten slotte wordt in acht stappen de uitvoering van de implementatie beschreven. </p>
<p>Naast de beschrijving van de methode laat dit handboek ook de kracht en effectiviteit van de methode zien in de praktijk. Daarvoor is een uitgebreide beschrijving opgenomen waarin dit handboek is toegepast in het hart van een toonaangevende ICT-dienstverlener: Getronics PinkRoccade. Aan elk hoofdstuk is een levendig praktijkjournaal toegevoegd, waarin de hoofdrolspelers zelf aan het woord komen. Dit geeft niet alleen een heldere vertaling van de methode naar de praktijk, maar vooral ook een beeld van het effect dat een implementatieproces op de mensen in de organisatie heeft. Zij zijn het immers die het veranderproces moeten vormgeven, uitvoeren, én tegelijkertijd de veranderingen moeten ondergaan. Dit maakt dit handboek tot een onmisbaar hulpmiddel voor iedereen die betrokken is bij ICT-Servicemanagement, of de implementatie en resultaten van ITIL in de eigen organisatie. </p>
<p>Het Handboek ITIL implementeren is geschreven door een schrijverscollectief waarin deskundigen met een ruime ervaring op het gebied van organisatieverandering, ITIL en ICT-Servicemanagement intensief hebben samengewerkt.</p>

<h1>Project Management -How To Manage All The Interested Parties To Get Your Project Completed</h1>
<p><strong>Author: <a title="Liz Cassidy" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/liz-cassidy/3336.htm">Liz Cassidy</a></strong></p>
<p>The precessional effect says that the actions you take will affect other people. Common sense says that the more people you impact on, the more likely it is that your actions will affect people who have some power and influence over your actions. These people could be useful supporters of your projects &#8211; alternatively they may block your projects.</p>
<p>We call people who are impacted by our projects/business activities, stakeholders.</p>
<p>A key skill in project management is learning to win support from interested parties or stakeholders.  Mastering this skill ensures that your projects are more likely to succeed.</p>
<p>Stakeholder Analysis is the methodology we use to identify who are the key people who have to be on our side and supporting us to ensure that our project succeeds.</p>
<p>The benefits of using a &#8220;stakeholder-based approach&#8221; are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stakeholders tend to have opinions which may be sought earlier in the project cycle than later. Their knowledgeable input early in the project life, can improve the quality of the project, and give them a sense of ownership in ensuring the project actually happens successfully.</li>
<li>In gaining support from the more powerful stakeholders we can gain access to more resources &#8211; financial, time based and people based.</li>
<li>When we involve the stakeholders on a regular basis, even if is simply reporting on progress to them, we ensure that they understand what we are doing and are kept abreast of the project status and benefits. If and when we need their active support they are already &#8220;on side&#8221;.</li>
<li>We can predict what stakeholders&#8217; reactions to our project may be and ensure that we are actively marketing the project in a way that will win their support.</li>
</ul>
<p>The first step is to identify who the key stakeholders for a particular project are.</p>
<p>Brainstorm in a group if possible, who will be impacted upon by the project.<br />
Local government, regulators, unions, employees, customers, special interest groups, neighbouring sites, businesses, Trades people, contractors, investors, managers, suppliers, financiers/banks, the press, etc.<br />
Stakeholders may be either an organisation e.g. a trade union, or an individual e.g. the trade union delegate.</p>
<p>The next step is to work out their power and influence over and interest in the project. This activity ensures that we know who we should focus and prioritise our attention, marketing and communications.</p>
<p>To create a power interest grid, on a page draw an X and Y axis.<br />
Label the y axis, &#8220;power&#8221; and the x axis &#8220;interest&#8221;:</p>
<p>Where the axes meet, mark both &#8220;low&#8221; and at the extremity of each axis mark &#8220;high&#8221;</p>
<p>Now from our list of interested parties, we mark on the grid, where each person/organisations level of power vs. interest is.</p>
<p>Those who we identify as having high power and low interest will need nurturing and attention.</p>
<p>However those who we identify as high power and high interest will need to be marketed to early and regularly in a way which allows them to continue to see the advantages of the project to them.  To do this, we ensure that we develop a good understanding of the most important stakeholders so that we can predict how they may respond. This allows us to work out how to win their support.</p>
<p>To get an easy to use visual report on stakeholders and their impact on the project, we can colour code the Power interest grid. Potential project blockers or critics can be coded in red; Project supporters can be coded green, those who are perceived to be neutral can be coded orange.</p>
<p>When unsure about the consequences then it may actually be useful to talk to the stakeholders and ask them!  Most people are open with opinions and this is a first step in building a successful relationship with them.</p>
