COMPANY RESOURCE COMMITMENT
There are always four project roles: executive sponsor,
steering team, project leader, and project team. There are several formats by which a Value Chain Excellence project
can be delivered. There are three drivers that help determine the best format including, project scope, project team
time commitment, and project team experience.
Coach Only Format - manageable scope, 50% project team commitment,
no VCOR project experience necessary
Coach plus Business Analyst Format - manageable to large scope,
25% project team commitment, no VCOR experience necessary; with VCOR project experience, a Coach Only Format is
feasible
Coach plus 2 Business Analysts Format - large scope, less than
25% project team commitment, no VCOR project experience necessary; with VCOR project experience, Coach plus
Business Analyst Format feasible
