Organisation from the Supplier’s Perspective
More and more suppliers are turning to PRINCE to manage projects on behalf of their customers; as a result delegates are asking how PRINCE’s organisation structure can be made to work for them.
First thing the remember is that the Business Case should reflect the benefits to your customer, and that there will be two business cases, one for you too.
Also, try to ensure you do not fix the role to be the same for all projects, as each will have different needs.
You could well be the Project Manager, but you could equally be taking the role of Senior Supplier, if, for instance your role is to coordinate resources.
On the other hand you could well be a Team Manager, who has been provided to the customer’s project on behalf of an account manager, which could even lead to a full PRINCE project within the Managing Product Delivery process.
Just a few suggestions from me, any other views?
