|1=The NPMS Renewal initiative aims to put in place a more comprehensive project management process that is better aligned to industry best practices. NPMS Renewal will address requests from Public Services and Procurement Canada’s (PSPC) project management community for improved efficiency and simplicity as well as recent Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) requirements associated with its new Directive on the Management of Projects and Programmes and Policy on the Planning and Management of Investments

All pages on GCpedia can be seen by all users. GCpedia sysops can protect a page from editing if there is a strong justification for doing so (i.e. protecting a template that is used thousands of times on the wiki). If you need your page protected to prevent other users from editing it, ask yourself whether it belongs on GCpedia in the first place. A simple alternative to protecting a page is to use the template {{tl|protected}}, which asks users to refrain from editing the page.</p>|bg=#ececec|padding=10px

Beginning in fiscal year 2020 to 2021, new and existing projects will be guided through the process of identifying expected benefits and developing a Benefits Realization plan. Implementation will be through a phased approach, with all projects being aligned with the PSPC Project Navigator process by April 1, 2023.

 

During the above process, the National Enterprise Project Management Office will develop and refine a method to track benefits, which will be available for use throughout the Department.

 

• Fiscal year *2020 to 2021: Projects greater than $100 million.

  *During this time, the process will be refined and regional coordinators will be trained.

• Fiscal year 2022 to 2023: All remaining projects.|bg=#ececec|padding=10px

|1=While the National Project Management System name suggests a set of procedures as well as checks and balances used to manage and deliver projects, the focus is firmly placed on objects and processes. When considering the breadth of enhancements in this improved version combined with the associated new curriculum designed to build competencies, it is clear that the new brand should be user-centric.

The PSPC Project Navigator suggests a distinct value proposition—one in which a clear and intuitive process is in place, with structured learning that helps users manage projects effectively. Its promise is ultimately reflected in the tagline: Simplicity, integration, excellence.|bg=#ececec|padding=10px

● a clear gating model with a “go/no go” decision point

 

● introduction of the project sponsor role

 

● introduction of Benefits Realization and management

 

● general improvements to other existing processes (such as lessons learned and thresholds)

 

● better alignment with the PMI and TBS requirements|bg=#ececec|padding=10px

|1=Because projects selected for the proof of concept exercise will not utilize a fully functioning PSPC Project Navigator product, their participation does not automatically guarantee full compliance with the final system. Instead, selected projects will test new documentation and the gating model as much as possible, providing the opportunity for exposure to the future of project management in PSPC, and ultimately gaining a “head start” on transitioning from the NPMS to the PSPC Project Navigator.|bg=#ececec|padding=10px

A process crosswalk tool will be made available to assist in this determination.
