14 Our Project Management Challenge
Situation High demand for professional staff Resources increasingly expensive and limited Need to move from traditional ‘technical’ focus to ‘systems & business integration’ focus Complexity of large specialist organisation Projects increasingly need to cover multiple businesses Need to improve project delivery and build & maintain a project management culture Ensure a ‘no surprises’ culture Solution Develop high quality project management system to better leverage our existing project management capability

15 Our Approach CMM PM Began with pilot of 100 staff Widespread
To ensure high quality delivery of IT projects, we implemented a two-phased approach - the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for software development, followed by the refinement and enhancement of our project management (PM) practices CMM PM Began with pilot of 100 staff Widespread deployment in Australia Development of ANZ’s Project Management practices Implementation in India Results were meeting expectations within 6 months Work has been almost entirely self funding

16 Project Management Practices – what we have done
Improved project delivery capability Improved project management capability Better managed the utilisation of project management skill sets to our project portfolio Key attributes Evidenced by increase in projects with green or amber status Peer reviews, training and mentoring of project managers, project review process More informed of skill levels of project managers and better understand current and future skill requirements

19 Key challenge is change management
Key lessons Key challenge is change management Winning hearts and minds is difficult at outset First 6 months is very difficult – needs strong leadership & experience helps Success = excitement = more success Do this for tangible, business outcomes Use metrics to track progress and lock in results Make sure everyone is accountable for the same outcomes – and use strong incentives Strong support for teams with their customers – dates will be missed early in the program Teams go through a ‘valley of despair’ in the early stages and need help through this

20 Key achievements Aligning IT implementation with ANZ’s focus on people, customers, process and infrastructure has delivered: Better outcomes for IT’s business unit customers Higher customer satisfaction High IT staff satisfaction rate High quality, more productive IT staff Simpler infrastructure - robust processes supported by a continuous improvement focus
