At this seminar, attended by around 80 project management professionals, Prof. Jaafari presented an advanced method for project/program performance assessment applying the Project Diagnostics. The emphasis is to ascertain how well a project/program is being managed, applying 67 indicators that characterise 18 core managerial functions on projects/programs of significant size. The process assesses whether the capabilities are adequate and whether the project or program is being managed at a desired level, e.g. in terms of governance and leadership, planning and control, information & communication management as well as finance, customers and markets, stakeholders, technology, etc. The resulting report displays managerial performance against defined targets. It can be benchmarked at different levels of practice.
Prof. Jaafari emphasized that the project health check methodology is a true risk and quality management approach - it has been designed to promote a proactive approach and if applied prudently and regularly, it has the potential to improve the project performance substantially and shorten delivery time and reduce costs.
