Thibault is a passionate “slasheur”, who likes to share his ideas and democratize project management! It is in fact both PMO/Independent Project Manager /Interim manager 2-day ROI at Mesolia and founder of the websites www.reussirsesprojects.com & www.reinventersonwork.com.
The job of interim manager consists in using an experienced executive to solve a problem: Interim CODIR, Project Management, Crisis Management (growth, restructuring, turnaround). Highly operational, Interim Managers provide operational and pragmatic solutions in a short time. Today, 15 AirSaaS licenses are used by Mesolia's IT department Housing with, in the long term, a second social innovation service. The professions and the general management do not yet have access to the tool.
Arriving as an interim manager/RSI on a time-sharing basis, Thibault is in particular responsible for managing the technical projects of the IT department. And he intervenes on certain business projects as soon as there are technical elements to be treated.
When he asked for more information on some projects, he realized that,”sometimes the vision is not so clear”. Either because the stakeholders did not understand the scope, or because such a project, which should have been carried out by the profession, had ended up at the DSI.
In addition to the piloting itself, project framing Was sometimes to be improved.
A second challenge has been identified: The capitalization of information in order to prepare for the arrival of his successor.
Finally, a third challenge was to reinforce a weekly project review ritual. A meeting “that worked” where the main ISD project leaders meet. A ritual that nevertheless required updating a power point, having the right information,... This generated long discussions on the decisions to be taken, on the vision of things...
Today, Thibault uses AirSaaS for these three use cases.
In the first place for frame the client's projects, for have a global vision from the wallet.
In fact, thanks to AirSaaS project framework sheets used collaboratively, he was able to both bring out clarity and a homogenized project culture !
By tracking who is involved in each technical project and what role Thibault was then able to Focus on the milestones and risks of these various projects and on the decisions to be made, or in any case On who should take them !
After this first stage, he plans to be able to graft the profession on top of it.
He also testifies to his use of AirSaaS to facilitate the transition with a successor two weeks before his arrival.
“I use it to properly align all the objectives in play and the scope of the projects in order to facilitate the transition with my successor. The project portfolio is organized, updated, the risks, points of attention, decisions, all this is recorded in AirSaaS with the actions taken and to be done.”
Finally, on the challenge of improving the weekly meeting ritual, he confirms it “The tool made it possible to put back a simple framework and to offer real-time reporting.”
“I would say the tool is simple and intuitive!” He is chasing “Even if you are not used to project mode, even if you are not used to managing projects, framing them, etc. you are really guided step by step with the tool. Without having to complete each step either, and that's something that really pleased the two directors we worked with.
”It's the integrated report. I like this integrated report because I have several people in the team who work on different projects... And before AirSaaS we had no tool.. it was excel... (dozens of word, excel and powerpoint files, to be more precise)! And I spent my time with the team looking for who was doing what? And as things move quickly, we have a lot of projects (70 exactly), a lot of POCs, etc.
The problem as a manager is to be “up to date, especially as an interim manager since I am not full-time.
The tool allows me to say ok well guys we put the information back into the tool. and if that's not the case we give a live report. In one click, you can insert decisions to take, risks and unresolved points of attention.”
