Calculating the future
Value analysis predicts program progress!
An Excell tool for mid sized programs  no more runaways!
Programs realizestrategicchange
They are lengthy, defined in broad
terms, changing during execution
Programs are in runaway danger
 McKinsey: Only 30 percent of change programs succeed
 The Economist, a 2004 survey: 57% of the companies had
been unsuccessful in executing on strategic initiatives over
the previous three years.
Mid sized programs lack adequate
control
The control system relies on project
managers estimates and actual costs
No facts, no trends, no coherence
No facts: driving forward looking
back
Progress is based on the past, estimates are
based on opinions
Real progress is unknown
No trends: Finding the way one
inch before your feet
Most control systems show you data at a
specific time,
not time based trends
No coherence: Projects and
business will interfere
A program is not just a set of independent
projects, each on their way
It is the coherence that needs to be managed
Been there, did the tour, got the
T-shirt. Lets share!
If you manage by facts, have trend-
reporting, and make coherence visible
You can control a mid-sized program
Program Future Calculator
We have created a free Excel spreadsheet
for medium sized programs, for a program manager that needs to
create his own control, in a cost oriented environment
Example: Projects in a mid sized
program
The usual suspects: multiple
projects, startdates, budgets
See next sheet for some more usual data

Example contd.: Actuals on these
projects
Nothing new so far, just a spreadsheet
But now we start the magic
Magic 1: % ready
% ready, as agreed upon up front, based on facts
This allows Value Analysis based predictions
Magic 2: trends
Excel at its best: time based graphs
So patterns are visible, based on actuals and Value Analysis
Magic 3: Coherence
Seeing where you are and where you are headed
To avoid collisions with others
Program control:
Facts, trends, coherence
