A Solid Foundation for the Upcoming Project and Business Development Through Quality Project Planning

Targeted Support from Utilities Consulting for the Planning and Definition Phase

The content and quality goals of the project stemmed from an understanding that the initiative would have long-term implications for Pori Energia Sähköverkot's business. With the help of an expert from Utilities Consulting, the project’s objectives were clarified and described for both internal and external stakeholders. 

During the definition phase, special emphasis was placed on thoroughly documenting the affected business processes. A systematic approach—process by process, system by system—allowed for efficient identification and resolution of open issues, while also increasing understanding of the scope and impact of the changes on the overall business.

A monitoring system was developed to track project tasks, open issues, and contractual requirements, enabling real-time project status updates. This ensured tasks progressed on time and responses to emerging issues were swift.

Experts were able to focus on advancing technical and operational changes.

The documentation of solutions and visibility of operations through easily maintainable process modeling methods will continue to support development work moving forward.

End Results and Benefits

Thanks to the thorough upfront planning and definition, Pori Energia Sähköverkot is now better prepared to face and resolve future challenges during upcoming project phases and timelines. Moreover, the operational models and outcomes developed during the collaboration can be applied more broadly to further develop operations. “The AMR 2.0 project at Pori Energia Sähköverkot was a pleasure to work on. The project had well-thought-out objectives, which were also clearly tied to tangible outcomes. In such situations, focusing on modeling the core processes of the target state is a great choice,” says Antti Nuutinen, Solution Delivery Manager at Solteq Utilities Consulting.
