Realise quick wins

You can demonstrate the i-lign value early by achieving the following quick wins:

Project Inventory

Create an inventory of your most critical projects. The quick win is achieving a single, enterprise-wide, real-time view of projects in a manner not previously possible.

Working baseline of staff commitments

Create a first-cut baseline of staff commitments against your critical projects. The quick win is achieving a single, enterprise-wide, real-time view of workloads. In most cases this will reveal significant overloads.

First cut Prioritisation

Create a first cut prioritisation of your key projects. The first cut will reveal that you have too many projects for the resources and time available to you. The quick win is that you have a valid and visible platform to move forward with the highest value projects.

Consolidated Views

Work within organizations, including projects, exists within layers of relationships and associations. In many cases these are invisible. As soon as projects are entered into i-lign, the system starts building consolidated views of information across Goals, Strategies, Teams and Portfolios. The quick win is achieving a level of pan-enterprise information sharing not previously possible.

Platform for Ongoing Gap Analysis

Most organizations have strategic and tactical planning documents.Their very format - paper - means that they do not easily match changing business conditions and challenges. i-lign allows projects to be associated with goals and strategies. There are often information gaps between strategic and tactical initiatives. i-lign provides a simple platform to see and plug these gaps.
