The Shuhari Process and System serves as a robust framework for standardizing recurring processes and projects, providing a streamlined approach in just four simple steps:
1. Define Phases: Establish clear phases to delineate the progress of your project and ensure everyone is on the same page.
2. Define Deliverables: Specify the key deliverables expected at each phase, providing a roadmap for success and clarity on project goals.
3. Work Breakdown Structure: Break down the project into manageable subtasks for each deliverable to facilitate efficient execution.
4. Leverage the Shuhari Web App: Seamlessly integrate all of the above information into the Shuhari web application by filling out the provided Excel template and uploading it via the admin page.
With these basic steps completed, your project is ready to operate with a standardized process. Each deliverable is assigned a unique project data folder, accessible to team members through the Shuhari web application. Ownership of each deliverable is clearly defined, allowing designated owners to curate all relevant data within their respective folders.
The benefits of adopting the Shuhari approach are many:
Increased accountability: With clearly defined deliverables and designated owners, no task is overlooked, fostering accountability and ensuring project success.
Early Problem Identification: With a “trust but verify” ethos, direct managers and program leaders can quickly identify and address issues by monitoring work progress and deliverables through the organized project data accessible through the Shuhari app.
Streamlined reviews: Conducting phase exit reviews becomes a breeze for executives and project teams alike, thanks to the structured project data available through the Shuhari app.
Continuous improvement: The Shuhari App facilitates the review and comparison of results across multiple projects, enabling the identification of best practices and the formulation of new standards or templates based on these insights.
In essence, the Shuhari app enables organizations to standardize and optimize their project management processes, driving efficiency, accountability and continuous improvement across projects of all sizes.
