Project failure in healthcare settings is challenging because it can disrupt procedures in project management. The range of factors contributing to such failures varies from inappropriately defined goals to the lack of a measurement system, which suggests that there is a variety of responsibilities assigned to project managers. Professional Quality Requirements (PQR) play an essential role in the maintenance of project success as they are necessary for project managers to develop a cohesive approach toward following the established guidelines.
A review process that will account for the PQR situation within an organization should consider project leadership and dynamics. In regards to leadership, a successful project is usually managed by an effective leader that has the training, expertise, and vision to accomplish established goals, as seen from the Google example. The organization worked to establish cohesion among project team members to boost the effectiveness of interactions. Measuring relevant and valid data associated with processes involved in a project is also recommended for identifying the key barriers that limit the ultimate success. Lastly, process owner commitment and involvement are necessary to assess when evaluating the impact of project leadership.
Within project dynamics, it is recommended to assess whether a project has clearly defined goals. For example, the Medicaid project has a specific goal of improving the quality of life for older adults and people with disabilities. The concise identification of a goal will allow an organization to have an overall direction linked to pursuing a specific project.
Also, it is necessary to determine whether a project has been sized appropriately. If a project is too large and requires more resources than expected, it is likely that it cannot bring the desired results. In addition, process complexity should be evaluated. If the processes are too easy, the goals have not been currently identified. If the processes are too complex, there may be a lack of resources to facilitate project success.
The proposed review process involving the measurement of project leadership and dynamics is expected to increase the effectiveness of project managers. Developing properly defined goals, a good measurement system, and effective leadership procedures make up the basis for pursuing projects in the future. A better understanding of the mentioned aspects will allow project managers to develop a sense of direction, establish procedures for assessment and measurement. Also, it is imperative to implement leadership strategies for ensuring cohesion within the project team and the overall dedication to the project.
