Akcaba Communications is an established fiber optics company since 2005. They have chosen to use Performance Driven Project Management (PDPM) to manage creating the capability for local production of currently imported fiber optic pigtails and patch cords. This will allow them to meet their customer’s need for custom made patch cords.
Faize Akcaba is the company’s Managing Director and the project manager of this project. Faize involved her entire team in the project Map Day early in December. Faize and her local consultant, Cigdem, have met 3 times since then to review progress and keep the plan up to date. As of last week, Faize and her team had completed 18 of 19 deliverables that were planned to be completed so far. This is an excellent result, especially for this large scope project.
One of the lessons learned early on was not to try and make commitments too far out in advance (plan in detail for the near horizon only). Some of the dates from the Map Day needed to be reset in the first status meeting, but now the team plans out only as far as they can see with some certainty.
