Next Year, Next
Month, Next Week... Yesterday?
Used to be, a couple of years was good enough.
But now that product development cycles are needing to be shorter and
shorter, even one year seems like an eternity.
The pace of change in
technology, competition and information has changed our - and your customers'
- perspective of time. We've done away with calendars and clocks and now
measure time by mouse clicks. This new "Internet" time scale for
product development cycles renders many traditional project strategies
obsolete. To compete in an environment that shifts at breakneck speed, you
need to do more than adopt new project management techniques; you need to
reinvent the way your project teams think about projects. That's what
we do.
At Celerity
Consulting, we are coaches. Having logged more than ten years each as
veterans in product development, our goal is to put minds to work, change
old habits, and inspire commitment to your projects... so your team can
execute them quickly and reliably. We are committed to your projects
consistently working the way you say you need them to work.
What is the Cost of
Being Late?
When your project plan
is compressed into Internet time, it's crucial to remain on schedule.
Change the specs a bit here, delay a decision there... and suddenly you're
off track. Lost time equals lost money: profits, market share, company
valuation. Most teams spend their time and energy fixing problems late in
the project cycle, where it is most expensive, not only in terms of budget
but especially time.
Recognizing the cost
of these delays, we coach teams to reconstruct their projects to identify
and mitigate risk up front and start racing, with commitment and urgency,
towards specific and measurable goals early in the project... before the
cost of change becomes prohibitive. Projects accelerate by replacing
daunting paperwork with simple, powerful tools that teams will actually use
to manage projects - distilling your project needs to their very essence -
and by identifying specific opportunities to take advantage of more
effective practices.
Risk Up Front™
Our core methodology
is based in Risk up Front™, a simple set of streamlined
project management techniques that help organize your rapid development
projects. We teach project leaders how to establish these tools in their
teams, and we work with team members to integrate our techniques into the
way they operate... and deliver. It's not what you know, but what you do
that makes a project a success. Our work causes changes in how project
teams perform. Consequently, they have more fun and teams that have more
fun get projects done faster.
