Competitive advantage is often defined by "Speed to Market". Is timeliness a KPI for your marketing driven activities?

Key Issues

• Is there visibility of exceptions and bottlenecks before the project reaches crisis point? Is it too late to take remedial action?
• Are Gantt charts created at the onset of projects and rarely updated or reviewed?
• Are tasks buried in spread sheets so there is poor visibility of responsibilities and accountability for task completion?
• Are individuals clear on their responsibilities and due dates across multiple projects?
