152 CHAPTER 12 Road map

Business Benefits and Ramifications

Success and sustainability for DG will require early visibility. This accomplishes two things:
• The DG participants gain valuable experience and the organization is exposed to DG.
• The early efforts in governing result in feedback that will indicate any required adjustments to
training, staff, or the operating model of DG.
Approach Considerations

You can engineer the managing activity for DG, but until it is deployed you can never be sure it is ideal.
Defining the management aspects of ongoing DG and specifying some immediate activity goes a long
way toward a more refined and sustainable DG process.
You can also adjust other aspects of the DG operating framework as well as the charters as you start
to see the operational details unfold and you define the initial DG tasks.
Sample Output

Figure 12-9 shows a sample of how we coordinated a series of short-term activities in conjunction with
larger projects and the overall rollout of DG. Please note, some of the activities in this figure reflect
change management tasks as well as targeted governance activity.
Tips for Success

Take a deliverables-based approach to this task. Even though you are rolling out a sustainable program,
you still want to have the team work toward discrete work products and develop artifacts. It is easier for
