Needs Assessment/Health Check
The purpose of a Needs Assessment is to provide an unbiased
assessment of your project management process, system and/or
requirements through the use of data-gathering and analysis
techniques. The Assessment will help determine the current state
of affairs within your organization, and identify the gaps
between the current and desired states. An Assessment will
also help you achieve results, minimize potential problems/conflicts,
improve ROI, and reach strategic goals.
The force that drives a Needs Assessment is the desire for
change, or to enhance current practices. This desire for change
can take many forms.
You may have one or more of the following “wants”:
> “We want to fully implement project management”
> “We want to implement or enhance our project schedule system”
> “We want to implement or enhance our cost control system”
> “We want to implement or enhance our performance measurement system”
> “We want to manage or improve our ability to manage resources”
> “We want to implement a process methodology for consistent, repeatable results”
> “We want to advance in the Capability Maturity Model (CMM)”
