360 Degrees of Done is the last core process in STRATEGIC EvolutionTM, provides a true alternative to traditional task-based project management. It is a new way to think – a new approach to leading projects that create the change necessary to achieve management’s strategic intent.
360 Degrees of Done is not about doing project management better – it’s all about realizing results that generate revenues, increase profits, enable excellence, and facilitate growth.
Using 360 Degrees of DONE facilitates:
- management knowing where you are and who is accountable.
- project teams producing more, stressing less.
- outcomes aligned, balanced, and synchronized with strategy and management’s expectations.
- individuals involved having a better project experience.
360 Degrees of DONE defines and communicates clear answers to “What is winning?” and “What needs to change to win?”, along with a clear understanding of “What is failure?”. These definitions provide a consistent guiding beam to focus effort, direct decisions, and assess progress.
360 Degrees of DONE is an alternative method, framework, and infrastructure used to lead projects. Unlike task-based plans that measure and track effort, this new approach provides:
- an easier and better way to define and plan the project.
- a more realistic specification of what needs to be produced.
- a better way to make decisions and track progress.
- a better way to ensure outcome produces expected business results.
Projects are driven from the perspective of the desired business outcome. This enables managers to lead and inspire versus manage and control.
