Susan Hilty on IT Project Management and
Leadership<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ITHireWire/~3/lTBz09TBKmc/susan-hilty-hudson-it-project-manager.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email>

Posted: 03 Aug 2010 06:19 AM PDT

*This week I sat down with Susan Hilty, a Hudson
IT<http://us.hudson.com/it>PMP-certified project manager from our
Chicago
office <http://us.hudson.com/it/node.asp?kwd=chicago-il>, to get an industry
veteran�s take on the trends affecting IT projects right now.*
Leaders vs. Project Managers

Susan brings a unique background to her project management engagements. For
many years she worked in store management roles at retail chains including
Kmart and SportMart. Responsible for opening new stores, Hilty developed
firsthand experience with the various people and complex processes that need
to be setup and managed for a store to operate successfully. Susan said, �In
retail, there were so many moving parts from HR, Payroll, and Finance - my
favorite part was figuring out new processes on the fly and mentoring my
staff to adopt those processes. We were not given exact instructions on how
to open a store. We had to find the necessary resources and make sure that
the goal was achieved.�

When I asked Susan how this experience related to her later work in IT
consulting and project management, she said �many project managers do not
understand how to synthesize varying (often small and inaccurate) amounts of
information from stakeholders into a workable plan, and shepherd that plan
up and down the decision chain to get things done. Being a leader adds a
layer of value to the project management role.�
Building Houses Without Architects

Further along in her career, Susan Hilty developed a knack for complex
mergers and acquisitions. Systems and processes were being integrated from
many locations or entirely different companies. It was during this
experience that she saw the need for a well-run Program Management Office
(PMO). �At the time, the CFO budgeted for networked imaging software to cut
document production costs and the CIO had the mandate to do software setup
and installation for hundreds of users on a timeline. The only problem was,
without a PMO taking ownership of the project, no one realized that we had a
fleet of copiers in house that were not network capable. We had to procure
all new equipment that was not a part of the original budget. If there were
a functioning PMO, something that basic would have been uncovered in the
project requirements assessment.�

Susan continues to take new project assignments where different stakeholders
hold elements of business requirements, software, workflow, training and
finances, yet they do not coalesce into a project definition. She said,
�It�s like saying you�d like to build a house. You have gotten the loan,
ordered a bunch of lumber, hired a painter, and set your move-in date. When
I ask what the house will look like when its done, you say you�ll let me
know when it�s built.� Susan points out that houses do not get built without
the involvement of a good architect and a good general contractor. In
addition to their traditional task and resource allocation roles, good IT
Project Managers often have to be the architect and general contractor on
projects. �I often have to educate upwards, to tell the very people that
brought me in to manage a project, what the vision and architecture is.�
Companies Do Not Need IT Project Administrators

Companies have a very narrow vision of what a Project Manager is. Susan
Hilty feels that the companies enjoying the most IT project success bring in
good project management talent early in the cycle. �I screen my engagements
very closely now. There are projects out there where the PM is simply being
brought in to run Microsoft Project. Those projects ultimately struggle
because project management is seen as an administrative task. When the PM
speaks up on architectural or strategic issues, many different decision
makers must be consulted. Often the PM is perceived as slowing the project
down, or business owners get upset with the questions.� When I asked her to
describe her ideal situation Susan said, �When I am in early enough to
ensure a proper blueprint for the project. When I can add value to the
creation and adoption of new processes, I am the most effective�.
Tips for Surviving as an IT Contractor

Susan has worked with IT Staffing and Consulting firms such as Hudson
IT<http://us.hudson.com/it>for over 5 years. I asked Susan about what
it�s like being an IT contractor
in today�s economic environment. She said that her #1 tip is to always keep
your own eyes open for new engagements. �The days of companies carrying a
huge bench of IT consultants are behind us�, said Susan. �You can�t just
stay with one firm and draw a paycheck. Be proactive in this market and keep
your eyes and ears open as you get closer to the end of your contract terms.
Always work with your staffing partners to see what channels are open to
you, and choose projects that will continue to build your capabilities.�

I sincerely hope that Hudson IT can keep quality Project Managers like Susan
Hilty on the projects they love for years to come.
