Apo Predictive Analytics
- 1. Predictive Analytics Results through Automated Project Office SM Automated Project Office (APO) is an IT management solution that reduces project development costs by up to 40% by preventing rework. At the same time, APO optimizes team productivity by up to 30%. APO’s Predictive Analytics drive these improved outcomes based on: • Early operational insight into potential issues • Enforced defined processes • Highlighting anomalies from historical trends, data, and metrics • Acceleration of the adoption of enterprise standards and best practices THE APO DIFFERENCE APO’s Predictive Analytics is a step above traditional project management and portfolio management solutions. Dashboards provide an executive-level view of emerging risks at both the portfolio and project levels. APO’s Predictive Analytics measures include: • Rework Prevention Level (RPL). Since rework accounts for approximately 40% of IT project costs, rework prevention provides tangible cost savings. Rework prevention also drives increased stakeholder and sponsor satisfaction. • Specific, Measurable, Accountable, Relevant, & Timely (SMART)– Clarity of Task Assignments. If the project team members don’t have clear and specific assignments, the likelihood of successful project delivery drops dramatically. • Process Adherence Level (PAL). If the organization’s standard processes are not being followed, project success decreases and project cost increases. • Senior Management Participation Level (SMPL). A powerful early indicator of project success or failure is the level of senior management commitment.
- 2. APO leverages historical information, current performance, and industry experience to provide real- time visibility into potential project risks. APO’s early warning capability allows course corrections before major project issues develop. With APO, executives and program owners can maintain forward-looking visibility into their projects. The result is reduced project costs, increased project success rates, and higher satisfaction from team members and project stakeholders. APO tracks responses against key predictors of upcoming project issues. The predictors are based on histororical data covering thousands of IT projects. The key questions directly relate to major reasons for IT project failure. APO calculates predictor scores by analyzing current performance responses and historical trends. The scores identify potential issues and show where effort is needed to prevent future problems. A summary dashboard, as shown on the front page, provides an initial view of the four predictive measures. Measures in red are considered high risk and require immediate attention. Measures reported in yellow are trending toward higher risk. A project or portfolio with all green measures indicates a project that is on track to be successful. For each measure, detailed drill-downs and trend reporting help managers focus their attention precisely to realize the greatest positive impact.
