Starting point – Winter 2007/2008

• Management in Wind Farm installation area have an issue:• The number of wind Farm

installation projects is growing and the complexity is increasing

• A tool is needed to get overview of:• Schedule• Resources • Cost


• Our CEO Knew Primavera so that was chosen:• 60 licenses were bought• WestSoft was engaged to

implement

• Ready to Go-Live in autumn 2008!

Step 2 – What about the rest?

PM area goes to IT to get IT infrastructure in place…..

At the same time the engineering department realize they also need a projectAt the same time the engineering department realize they also need a project- , task and ressource management tool, and approach IT

It gets political!


Business case – Easy ☺

It is essential for both Engineering and Siemens Wind Power as such to be able to effectively control all tasks projects project portfolios and resources into effectively control all tasks, projects, project portfolios and resources in Engineering

The current and future growth presents a challenge in continued efficiency per employee. The efficiency improvement is estimated to be at least 5%, which results in a ROI as defined below:

Choose tool: Not that easy

The IT department wants to ensure the right tool is selected. An investigation project is started to investigate SAP/PS MSP and PrimaveraAn investigation project is started to investigate SAP/PS, MSP and Primavera.

During the investogatin one more department joined the team: Global Blades

Now comes a period of workshops, Product presentations, discussions etc.

MSP was quickly ruled out

26 f i ti ti t t d


26 pages of investigation report was created

8 month later the conclusion!

Primavera is the preferred platform!

Critical requirements:

Support increased day-to-day project management

Provide standard project execution structure for planning & monitoring in Projects & Logistics for all regions

Enable capacity planning and resource forecasting for equipment/manpower/components across projects


Support long-term planning of cross-project uncertainties through ‘what-if’ scenarios (Not Possible in SAP/PS)

Growth!

While we were trying to improve the way we work, the company still grows

Employees (by end of fiscal year)

When Primavera started we were 3300 emplyees. Now: +7500

More people are hired than we can manage to get trained.

After 3 years, we still have many new and unexperienced users !!!

We still Grow!

IT infrastructure

We were first movers on a large number of users on the web interface. Needed some rework and specialist involvementsome rework and specialist involvement.

Performance decreases with the increased number of users. Continued development by IT is required


10

Wrong assumption

Planning and scheduling: PM’s must do that!

No!

Americas knew that and hired planners.

Now we are hiring planners in the rest of the world


Other experiences

Keeping projects updated with progress is not to be underestimated! Monitoring and follow up is criticaland follow up is critical

Roles and Responsibilities must be clearly defined

It must be easy to use a tool, or it will not be used

Documentaion is critical!

Y t l t d l t t ff lf i ti


You must plan to develop your support staff yourself, so prepare in time

Why did we succeed?

Stubbornness and dedicationStubbornness and dedication

Good people!

Support from WestSoft

Urgent needs for support to headcount planning process during financial crisis!


Todays status

1835 users totally spread across all of our organisation

Primavera is widely accepted and Management have realized the potential

Increased demands from the market require more and better project- and portfolio Management

Ongoing changes to the organisation forces continued ”selling”


It was the right thing to do!
