You can do both of these by analysing project data to reveal trends and themes (like the tendency for projects to forecast costs to use up their budget rather than to cover the remaining scheduled work!).Because I understand from my own experience the challenges that project and programme managers face, I work proactively with them to help them to stay compliant with the relevant standards or methodology, ensuring that just enough (and no more!) process is applied in order to get the job done to the required standard without getting in the way. Consequently I enjoy good relationships with project managers, who see me as a trusted advisor rather than a reactive critic.
