In the age of the Internet billions of people and devices are exchanging data a billion times every day. While being good for consumers, it’s not so good for the music creators who are at constant risk of original work being pirated and ultimately foregoing the rewards and recognition in an era of ever-changing technology and legislation in a global market.

When Lenny Descamps, IT Office, arrived at the company in 2014, this meant ensuring that the already successful IT project team continued to improve to keep up with growing challenges that face the digital market. One way was to target planning and scheduling capabilities with the [URL=http://www.apmg-international.com/en/qualifications/ProjectPlanningControl/Project_Planning_Control.aspx]APMG International PPC[/URL] - the world's first APMG accredited Project Planning and Control Course programme delivered by project management experts, Training Byte Size.
Many elements of the Foundation course meet PRS for Music’s needs - with onus on “the breakdown structure to identify project activities, the schedule narrative and the scheduling check” which acts like a checklist.
METHODOLOGIES AT PRS FOR MUSIC IS PARAMOUNT
PRS for Music adapts, adjusts and amends every methodology and initiative introduced into the company to match business and industry imperatives. Going against the grain of “Big Bang” project management, while implementing everything in one go may seem like a good idea, it can mean that a year later nothing has been achieved.
AN ALTOGETHER MORE EFFECTIVE FRAMEWORK
By putting all the project managers together in one room to take the course, everyone was aware of the framework and principles to work with. By mixing managers with different qualification and experience levels, co-workers shared expertise and supported each other.
Supporting Lenny Descamps and PRS for Music throughout this process has been [URL=http://www.trainingbytesize.com/about-us/]Training Byte Size[/URL] who collaboratively delivered much more than a mere off-the-shelf course.
THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE
With a clear vote of confidence the experience has been worth it. The framework and principles of the PPC tailored for PRS for Music’s business are beginning to be embedded in the company with Mr Descamps now able to sign off schedules with more confidence and have processes in place to make necessary changes as and when. Stakeholders can be confident that the IT department will be able to meet the growing challenges.
