Certified MPM and CIPM professionals value AAPM® endorsement of Steve and Mick Campbell's OPPM™ methodology in their courses. Confirming the benefits of OPPM™ is author Eric Verzuh. He has given an objective testimonial on why it is a critical PM tool. Verzuh claims it meets the minimums needed for effective management he has identified as the Five Project Success Factors in his widely held book, The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management. In using the lens of his five factors to assess the OPPM, he was impressed how it contributed to all of them Noted Below:
Agreement among the project team, customers, and management on the goals of the project. The OPPM clearly and concisely states the project’s goal ..., with sub-objectives listed . Together, these provide clarity to key stakeholders about the purpose and scope of the project.
A plan that shows an overall path and clear responsibilities and that can be used to measure progress during the project. This may be the OPPM’s greatest strength – synthesizing and summarizing the de tails of the project plan and task status to provide a useful high-level understanding of the plan and our progress.
A controlled scope. Uncontrolled scope is the number one threat to on-time, on-budget performance. Uncontrolled scope means we allow additional tasks and objectives to be added to a project without consciously and formally accepting the related cost and schedule increases. Using the OPPM, it is clear what our major tasks are, when we will meet major schedule milestones, and how much we plan to spend. Changes that attempt to creep into the project will become visible in one or more of these dimensions quickly, providing notification to the project manager and the project’s owners that they need to contain the change.
His Conclusion - The age-old problem is getting busy executives to engage based upon accurate project information. This was the genesis of the OPPM: creating a single project dashboard that enables meaningful, informed involvement from managers with multiple projects under their span of control.
CIPM和MPM认证课程融入了AAPM对Steve和Mick Campbell的OPPM™方法的认可。另外，作家Eric Verzuh通过其著作充分证实了OPPM™的作用。他客观地说明了为什么OPPM是一个关键的项目管理工具。Verzuh认为，OPPM满足了有效管理所需的最低要求，他在广为流传的《The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management》一书中指出了项目成功的五个因素。在使用他的五个因素的镜头来评估OPPM时，他印象深刻的是它是如何促成所有这些因素的。如下所示:
项目团队、客户和管理层对项目目标的一致意见。OPPM清晰而简洁地陈述了项目的目标……，并列出分目标。这些共同为关键涉众提供了关于项目目的和范围的清晰信息。
一个显示总体路径和明确责任的计划，可以用来衡量项目的进展。这可能是OPPM最大的优势——综合和总结项目计划和任务状态的细节，以提供对计划和我们的进展的有用的高层次理解。
一个可控制的范围。不受控制的范围是按时、按预算执行的头号威胁。不受控制的范围意味着我们允许额外的任务和目标添加到项目中，而不自觉和正式地接受相关的成本和进度增加。使用OPPM，我们可以清楚地知道我们的主要任务是什么，我们什么时候会达到主要的时间表里程碑，以及我们计划花费多少。试图渗透到项目中的更改将在一个或多个维度中迅速可见，向项目经理和项目所有者提供他们需要包含更改的通知。
他的结论:一个古老的问题是让忙碌的主管根据准确的项目信息参与进来。这就是OPPM的起源:创建一个单一的项目仪表板，使在他们控制范围内的多个项目的经理能够有意义的、知情的参与。
