Initial State:– Documents on shared drives
Difficult to navigate, inconsistent folder structure, inconsistent versioning, inconsistent deliverables templates
– Project Managers only team members tracking risks/issues, able to access data for reporting
BrightWork at GMAC-RFCBrightWork at GMAC-RFC
Final State– All project data available to Enterprise Project Office in
real time (or at least updated weekly) without additional PM time investment
– All projects using same set of deliverables templates– All projects have project websites with consistent look
and feel and consistent organization of documents and controls
– All projects have consistent documentation of project controls and status information

Easier for team members to transition between projects because of process consistency
Easier for portfolio managers to be aware of status of all projects
Easier to consistently report information across projects and programs
Easier to discuss process changes because everyone has the same starting point
No Product is a Silver BulletNo Product is a Silver Bullet
Excellent Project Managers do not equate to consistent project management
Consistent project management requires controlled processes and buy-in from PMs and team members
Buy-in is achieved through involvement in decisions and mentorship– SharePoint/BrightWork SME– Project Management Process SME
Constant improvement should be expected
