GOVERNANCE MANAGEMENT and OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT

 

Nowadays we are in an environment where is necessary that the companies know about the difference between governance management and operative tasks management for the better results of work.

The corporate governance management abilities the organization, identifies and select the investments that maximize the profit of business. Meanwhile the operative management possibilities to the company give with exit the business opportunities selected. The governance supposes the necessities, conditions and options to determine the goals will be reals, configurated for director’s trough priorization and making decisions and monitoring the job. For these reasons the governance management may: evaluating and determine the objectives of company to allow, direct, decide and follow the progress of projects and programs to principal objectives.

The task management planning, building, executing and monitoring the activities of low level that have to do for the consecution of the good execution of projects.

To understand better this distinction, it is necessarily seen that the governance management is responsibility of executives of task management of the teams. Involving the organization to the extreme at extreme, creating a unique environment job, allowing that the complete system works in a different way of that was joining the work of everyone on teams.

Without a distinction exists a risk in relation of responsibilities to different levels, existing tools that helps, integrating and complementing, that helps to allows a controlled management of projects since the start to the end, in addition stablishing a strategy in base of goals, defining and recompilation data that allows the development of business and monitoring the progress.

In a practice way, we could put of example Jira as a task tool. In the way of portfolio management tool, Talaia is a good example.

The management of governance is a model that allows to a better dialogue and model of negotiation. Stablish horizontal relations. Gruppe parts, process, models of decisions, tools, confinable communication and repeatable inside environment of project. Defining roles and prove the efficiency of Project Manager, gives his marge for take decisions.

The governability of projects that allows TALAIA involves process, tools, standards, responsibilities, etc. The team continues being responsive of planification, execution, control and closing. And how to say PMI, the governability of projects works in a supervision way alienating with the model of governance of company, including the all the cycle life of project.

Inside of governance management, the PMBOK methodology is that allows generate an environment of governability in a project, like the process to identify, scale and resolve inconvenient that could happen during the projects, the relations with teams or external groups. Facilities the process to the communication of information, making decisions of projects, giving guides to alienating the governability of projects with the organization. As too facilities the review of phases, approve changes on the bullet, the distance, the quality and the control of chronogram, adjusting to the interested with the requisites of projects.

For the tasks management, the Kanban methodology is an effective and agile model to the following of tasks projects. All the members of the team could visualize that they can do, they may do, they are doing or in that moment of task is the team now, etc. Visualizing the goals and pendent tasks or that been affected for something reason. Allowing make notifications, adjunct files, comments, charts and more.

The conclusion that we can extract of this comparative between operative tasks and governance tools resides on that the best part of a project is finding in the combination of the two tools that complementing one to other, giving the worst part of tasks and the governance, allowing the totality of the project process.

TALAIA in Project Management Office Hours radio show

As we had already announced in our previous post about the expansion of Talaia by the North American market. Last week we had the opportunity to participate in the radio show Project Management Office Hours, which we sponsored together with THE PMO SQUAD.

So we had the pleasure of attending in live and talking about the management of projects, tools, functionalities, and an endless number of curiosities, what if you want to discover you’ll have to listen to the podcast!

The alliance between Talaia OpenPPM and The PMO SQUAD was officially announced and for the first time. As the Talaia partner in the North American market, helping in the sales process as well as with clients offering professional services and advice.

The program began by welcoming the guests and talking about the meeting that took place at the PMI Phoenix dinner in July. Leading to an entertaining debate about how our brain works and to know about what creates “funnels” in our minds. This is an interesting topic for Project Managers, to help us better understand how our teams can be more efficient.

Joe started talking about project management with Fabrice to learn more about the solution offered by Talaia OpenPPM and how it differs from other similar products. Talaia OpenPPM is the first PPM tool under the PMBOK PDF standard. And he announced that it is a solution of the intermediate segment that does not compete with business-class tools such as Planview or with task management tools such as Asana and Trello. A second part of the program was when listeners sent questions through twitter for the guests to respond.

Fabrice responded to a tweet about AI for PPMs. And Tom, the other guest offered many years of perspective and experience working for various organizations. He shared with us his key personality traits for a project manager. Tom also responded to a tweet asking for skills vs. techniques. Continuing with a great debate of Cascada vs Agile, with some new answers in front of what we had heard in previous programs.

We learned a lot and it was a very positive experience with which we hope to have started on the right way in USA!
