This podcast features a discussion with Derek Hemington. I’ve come to know Derek over the past year as he has a similar role at another college. That is, he’s the program coordinator of Fanshaw College’s Project Management program. For more information about Derek: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekhemington/
During our discussion, Derek described his experience as an external consultant, working with organizations to define the scope of the project. During this process, it is necessary to define which organization will develop each deliverable – that is, will the deliverable be within the scope of the consultant’s project or will it be within the scope of the customer’s project. Derek describes a number of strategies that he has used to ensure that this is effectively managed.
And while the the discussion focused on projects where an external consulting organization was involved, the processes discussed could also be applied to internal projects.
This is an episode of the Understanding Projects podcast which consists series of discussions with PM academics and practitioners about the real world aspects of projects and project management. The podcast is based on the text Understanding Project Management - A Practical Guide by Dave C. Barrett.
