Quality Assurance for a Global Supply Chain Program
Business Challenge
Our client is a Fortune 200 Consumer Goods company and a global manufacturer and retailer of apparel, footwear & accessories. Our client was seeking to improve program and project delivery. Historically, our client often struggled to scope, estimate, plan and implement projects and deliver committed business value.
The key issues that faced our client were:
- Challenges in scoping, estimating, planning and implementing programs and projects and delivering committed business value
- SWAT teams frequently required to get failing projects back on track
- Unstructured and sporadic project reviews and a lack of continuous learning related to program and project delivery
- Several versions of waterfall and agile project delivery methods with significant time spent on re-invention of project processes and deliverables
- Overly focused on delivering projects vs. delivering business value
Client & Engagement Quick Facts
- Over 50 project reviews analyzed and 46 interviews with senior executives over a two month period
