Company A acquires company B, which leads to a two-year program to integrate the processes and systems. Company B uses a different project management process, and the company's staff is unhappy about the acquisition. As a result, company B's project team fails to provide status and cost data in a format that conforms to the program standards.
What should the program manager do first?
The program manager should remind the project manager of the relevant program standards. This ensures that there is a clear and consistent understanding about the expectations and guidelines that need to be followed. Aligning project work with the program standards is essential for maintaining coherence and achieving integration goals. Informing stakeholders or changing standards should come after making sure that the project team is fully aware and capable of adhering to the existing standards.
