Primavera Implementation Methodology

Primavera has built and refined a proprietary project management implementation methodology and set of toolkits. Our implementation approach employs a practical process modeled on our own project management software. Below are some key advantages to our implementation approach:

• Defines the “Who”, “What”, “When”, and “Why”
• Focuses on Business Needs
• Maximizes Client's Investment
• Fosters Client Collaboration & Ownership
• Plans for Growth
• Ensures Documentation

We have identified some key critical success factors which are closely tied to our methodology. These are the fundamental indicators that will drive the success of the implementation and are those managerial or enterprise areas that must be given constant attention. These key critical success factors are listed below:

• Top-down Commitment
• Provide Reasonable Rollout Strategy
• Manage Expectations
• Manage Cultural Impact
• Develop Documentation
• Strive for Client Satisfaction

Our implementation methodology is designed to provide an effective roadmap for implementing our project management systems, while integrating the systems to match the client's project management processes. Our extensive experience has shown that this approach minimizes risks and maximizes the potential for achieving the desired, repeatable results once the system is in production.

Our first order of business during an implementation is to determine and then work within the constraints of your organization in terms of product features, functionality requirements, project management maturity, Primavera professional services effort, and customer participation that will result in a successful implementation.
