  7. Business Cultural Impacts on Primavera project delivery (collected through the day) • ‘Use flip chart’ • Quick fire round up at end of day

  8. What is the PIM • Developed over 20 years • Well established methodology based upon PMI lifecycle • Simple but effective phased process supporting a release based approach • A ‘starter’ kit to be used in part and scaled accordingly • Leveraged across the partner base

  9. Tried and Tested: How well used is it?

  11. Introduction of OUM (Oracle Unified Method) OUM's Vision – Oracle is evolving the Oracle® Unified Method (OUM) to achieve the vision of supporting the entire Enterprise IT lifecycle, including support for the successful implementation of every Oracle product – applications, middleware, and database.  OUM includes three focus areas – Manage, Envision, and Implement.  OUM's Manage Focus Area provides a framework in which all types of projects can be planned, estimated, controlled, and completed in a consistent manner. At present, OUM Manage includes Oracle's Project Management Method (PJM) and Oracle's Program Management Method (PGM) and should be considered Oracle's single, global project management method.  OUM’s Envision Focus Area deals with development and maintenance of enterprise level IT strategy, architecture, and governance. Envision also assists in the transition from enterprise-level planning and strategy activities to the identification and initiation of specific projects.  OUM's Implement Focus Area provides a framework to develop and implement Oracle-based business solutions and will ultimately replace all of Oracle's legacy implementation methods like AIM Foundation, AIM for Business Flows, Compass, Results Roadmap, etc.

  20. Data Migration to one single instance of Primavera Migration analysis will be a key component of the discovery phase to understand what the Balfour Beatty landscape and data map comprises with regard to the Primavera products.  Currently we would look to work off what we have a s a current install base in terms of licenses but would need to undertake thorough investigation into how these are actually deployed into the field, what versions are currently running alongside a host of other considerations. Primavera consulting undertook a similar exercise with Network Rail in tandem with their upgrade from a distributed environment to the Primavera version 5  platform. Oracle’s experience is that a cost effective and timely migration is critical to the success of the overall Balfour Beatty. Oracle’s migration strategy ensures that the following key factors are thoroughly analysed and conclusions are completed well before the actual migration is executed: • The requirements for the migration- aims and objectives of this sub-project are clear to all • The reasons and business benefits of the migration • Sufficient technical and functional skills and resources required to deliver the migration are available and committed • Cost of the migration versus the above benefit • Timing requirements for the migration- noting resource requirements and levels of effort from Oracle and Balfour Beatty OpCo’s • End-user key concerns and needs to be addressed during and post the migration. In many cases plans and schedules are wholly owned, developed from infancy • The detailed migration plan including execution and test schedules • Go/No decision criteria and recovery planning • Migration risk mitigation and back up/out plan to help avoid disruption to the business operation and end customers. Specifically related to the Primavera Project toolset are the following factors that will be considered: • Complexity of schedule - this is not limited to volume of activities and is wider ranging to consider all project data. • Consolidation of project formats- assumed the majority of live, working plans will be presented in Microsoft Project. • Pragmatic approach to summary data- in a number of cases it is likely to be more prudent to take summary level rather than port across all data structures. For example when bringing historical information over what is mandated from a governance perspective and what is deemed ‘nice to have’. • Duration remaining on projects- closure in existing system and as built migration on completion to negate risk? • Cross project relationships and dependencies • Data structures in the Primavera database- these need to be established to support the incoming programmes • Harmonisation and common process across projects • Rationalisation where appropriate • Programme and Portfolio configurations • Data validation of project data through the migration process to culminate in production sign off • User training ‘touch point’- assurance that users are ready, able and supported to use the Primavera system once the migration has occurred. • Basic project reporting structures in place. Whilst a crucial element of the design phase the migration timing needs to support the reporting to ensure business continuity and key management information. • Adoption- the end user is considered the centre piece of this effort in the people, process, tool dynamic • Current integrations and process for project updating – i.e. recognition in planning of monthly reporting cycles and required metrics to be available. Interface requirements for R12. The migration from each instance to the single Primavera instance may be executed in the following three steps shown simplistically below where phases 2 and 3 are repeated based upon the factors above allowing migration to be carefully controlled , sped up or slowed down as appropriate rather than any ad vocation of a ‘big bang’ approach. This would be replicated for each of the OpCo’s or environments as we assume there may be multiple instance per OpCo. ·         Phase 1 – Establishment of staging database Migration Assessment and planning (versions migration factors) ·        Phase 2 – Staging database administration Project/Programmes cleansed Validation checks and sign off of data changes Critical updates (minimal approach) ·         Phase 3 – Migration to live database Validation Checks (data integrity and interfacing checks) Sign off Phases two and three will provide an iterative cycle to allow a project/selection of projects to be moved through into the production environment. The rolling approach is taken to allow business as usual activities and the work is undertaken in a staged manner to optimise working time to maintain operational tempo and effectiveness. Oracle would recommend the migration assessment be undertaken during the design phase which is positioned as Phase one of the Primavera Implementation under the OUM methodology. As in all technical projects communication and stakeholder management together thorough risk assessment and management are required to help ensure success. Migration key success factors include: ·         Robust management and leadership and strong sponsorship ·         Clear and well thought through migration strategy that is communicated to the key stakeholders of the migration ·         UAT testing to ensure business processes are robust ·         Data load testing to ensure data is correctly loaded in a timely manner ·         Test of migration process to ensure usability. ·         Training people in the new application and processes to ensure smooth transition to the new platform and ongoing adoption ·         Post migration support including onsite problem management and help desk support to enable problems to be resolve in timely fashion. ·         Crawl, walk, run approach- Effective communications to users that this is the first step and fluency will develop as tool usage increased as will tool maturity. As part of final step in the migration exercise, the project should Assess Results and complete the following: ·         All project documentation is completed and finalized. All scope of migration effort has been completed. It is likely that the migration ‘portfolio’ will change due to elapsed time and changing priorities. ·         Successful handover from the project to business-as-usual (BAU) support ·         Post migration review and Lessons Learned Analysis are completed and used in any subsequent migrations.
