You're managing a BRM project with multiple stakeholders. How do you ensure everyone meets the deadlines?

After setting project goals, engage stakeholders in defining roles and responsibilities and agree on delivery timelines with a matrix. This fosters ownership and clarity. Use the matrix to stay aligned. As challenges arise, communicate openly to remind of goals and encourage teamwork for timely delivery. External factors may impact timelines; keep sponsors informed for proactive decisions. Consistent communication with the delivery stakeholders is key through a consistent 1-1 and then a collective regular stakeholder meeting. Encourage communication and teamwork to tackle obstacles and achieve project goals efficiently. Regular updates keep all parties informed and committed to success within the timeframe.

1. The plan should be made in collaboration to instill ownership 2. Plan should have specific deliveries with timelines for accountability 3. Instill review mechanism to engage team and recognize their contributions 4. Analyze and observe the bottlenecks/key challenges 5. Be flexible and support the team 6. Ensure engagement of team to keep the environment full of enthusiasm

Communication is the key. No matter how SMART your goal is and how well your owners charter is, if you don’t create a mechanism for clear and precise communication, one is bound to fail. In any project creating a mechanism that gives visibility to all stakeholders and leadership helps to solve problems at an early stage.

The answer lies in the question - with multiple stakeholders, the most critical aspect is "cross-functional stakeholder management" ! Roles, responsibilities, deliverables and timelines for each stakeholder has to be clearly defined in a transparent manner. Periodic assessment is critical to identify slippages or uncontrollable factors. If need be, one shouldn't shy away from going back to drawing board again to re-visit the plan/strategy. More importantly, there has to be an identified Project Leader who holds the pen on the project. The best way to fix timelines is to work backwards from the Target delivery date. Last but not least, form a project team with members who bring complementary skills for the most optimal outcome!

It’s very important to have clarity with measurable time frames. Though in today’s scenario there can be delay due to untoward situation but still very important to keep team informed and also find solutions with explaining stakeholders with the delay. Due diligence is the key point to evaluate for the stakeholders and for the team also

One need to set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) for each team. For example, "Complete the business rules definition phase by the end of Q1 with 100% compliance to regulatory standards." This would give clarity to each team member and kickstart the project on a positive note

When managing a Business Relationship Management (BRM) project involving multiple stakeholders, effective planning is key to ensuring deadlines are met and objectives are achieved. By setting clear objectives, managing resources, facilitating communication, mitigating risks, and ensuring accountability. A well-developed plan provides the structure and foresight needed to navigate complexities, coordinate efforts, and achieve successful project outcomes.

I think planning is the most important piece when it comes to ensuring the success of any project. However, when planning, it's important to make sure everyone understands the goals and objectives. Having all parties present for stand-up, ensuring everyone is contributing toward the same long- and short-term goals. This way, we are tracking and keeping a culture of collaboration; it helps ensure we are all pulling our weight as well as helping as a unit to brainstorm and identify potential roadblocks. Giving all of us proactive provisions to mitigate the risk.

O Planejamento eficaz ajuda a alinhar esforços, otimizar recursos e aumentar as chances de sucesso de um projeto. Esse planejamento precisa considerar alguns aspectos importantes como: - estabelecer metas mensuraveis, relevantes e temporais; - avaliar contexto atual através das forças, fraquezas, ameaças e oportunidades; - determinar os recursos humanos, financeiros e materiais necessários; - definir as ações e estratégias que guiarão o processo para alcançar os objetivos; - estabelecer prazos e etapas para implementar as ações; - criar mecanismos para acompanhar o progresso e avaliar a eficácia, a fim de permitir ajustes necessários.

Effective planning begins with advanced planning. Reverse engineer. When I was managing a large-scale project across the Mount Sinai Health System, I mapped out the incremental deadlines, then worked backwards to see what I had to gather prior to those timeline milestones. Taking into account the nature of the surgeons schedules, I always left ample time to have them provide deliverable and still left time for myself to produce the product. The further in advance you can plan, the more time that you will have for wiggle room or to advance the project.

Comunicação é o elemento central que conecta todos os aspectos de um projeto. Desde o planejamento até a execução, ela é a chave para o sucesso porque promove: - clareza de objetivos - colaboração - resolução de conflitos - monitoramento de progresso - gestão de stakeholders - motivação da equipe - identificação de riscos

The best method to be on track is to conduct progress reviews every 2-3 days to measure progress against the goals. Use performance metrics and KPIs to track and report progress

Regular updates and open dialogue help ensure that all team members are aligned with the project's goals and are aware of any potential challenges. By fostering an environment of open communication and information sharing, teams can build trust, identify issues early, and maintain the momentum needed to keep the project on track.

When you align with the team on clear expectations, it is equally important to make sure you consistently reiterate them vigorously and continuously and openly with the team for confirmation of the goals and collaborative understanding of the task at hand. The faster the team buys into the cohesiveness of the team, the easier communication among the team becomes. Teams who learn to work together are better communicators and more efficient when working on projects. The more closely knit the group, the easier it is to understand how each individual works, which allows them to make an easy transition when someone is out on vacation or out of the office. Eliminating potential risk that could cause issues with the fluidity of the group.

Regular Update in the morning, ensure for sprint meeting ask three things to team 1- What was your yesterday timing , what will you close today and what problem / issues you are facing. Clear it at the sametime.

Organiza una sesión de entrega de resultados con el patrocinador del proyecto to, prepárate porque mientras mejores resultados des, te exigirán más, sin embargo nunca te comprometas a reducir tiempos o costos en una reunión de este tipo, pide tiempo para evaluar y regresa con una respuesta. Prepárate para que tus patrocinadores, nunca estén satisfechos con el resultado y siempre quieran más y más barato.

Facilitate regular cross-departmental meetings to ensure seamless collaboration. Use collaborative tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams for ongoing communication and problem-solving.

One thing I find helpful is establishing from the very start that the process of completing a project is a learning process. Provide guidance in correcting mistakes, make the team feel that its ok to commit mistakes and learn from it. By doing this approach, team members will not be afraid to own up to what they do. Giving feedback and credit where credit is due can also be a way to boost accountability and sense of pride in a team.

Create crystal clear for accountability measurement for every stakeholder must be done and make sure those measurement point are well execute

Continuous monitoring of progress against the project plan, coupled with accountability mechanisms like regular check-ins, helps keep stakeholders on track. Encouraging collaboration and providing the necessary resources and support foster a productive environment where stakeholders feel motivated to meet their commitments.

Creating a working environment that foaters open communication is vital. While deadlines are important, let us not forget the overall well being of the team. Always be prepared to encounter unforseen circumstances. It would also be helpful to include “grace period” on the deadlines cascaded to the team in order to have room for possible delay.

This is a very important process to achieve a defined goal, Every goal is not certain it may lead to various changes and required utmost flexibility for adaptation of these changes. Regular discussion and time bound training and support required for adaptation of changes.

Take consideration for your teams individual strength an weaknesses. Channel those appropriately to ensure maximum effectiveness but also look to challenge and create a learning environment through honest reflection & feedback. Foster a culture that celebrates success and achievements throughout the group.

This is key and why I love agile methodologies. When conducting meetings and sprints encourage your stakeholders to bring up issues that may arise during the project lifecycle. This way the team can have a plan of action ready incase any bumps come along during the project. Have effective communication with all stakeholders, reach out to each individual for status updates as well as ask what they need help with as well as what can be done to make their process/task go smoothly. By doing so you will eliminate multiple meetings allowing each stakeholder to focus on their task at hand.

Consistent Followup is the only key Review obsticles, attempt to iron them out or ascelerate, apprecicate progress. Communicate Clearly and be Approachable

Identify potential risks early in the project and develop contingency plans. Regularly update the risk management plan based on project progress and stakeholder feedback

Combating risk mitigation is easiest when you do frequent brainstorming as a group. It's even more effective when this happens before taking on a project, as this gives you intelligence to disseminate to the client or team about what we could potentially encounter, giving us time to create a succession plan in preparation for the risk. Playing devil's advocate and asking the five "W's" is like playing chess: preparing six to seven strategic plays and understanding and assessing all of the vulnerabilities helps prepare the customer. It also exhibits you as an expert.

Seguimiento en periodos cortos para validar el porcentaje de avance y poder medir si se logra con las metas y en caso de requerir realizar ajustes oportunos según la planificación y los plazos pactados

Proactive risk management, including early identification of potential obstacles and having contingency plans in place, is essential to prevent delays.
