HERMES for Managers

Practice guide for Project sponsors and Project committee members

For almost 50 years, HERMES has proven itself as a project management method in the Swiss administration. Over the last 15 years, it has also proven itself in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg under the name QUAPITAL-HERMES, as well as in many other organizations in Switzerland and abroad. Securing a functional project governance is a core element of HERMES. In particular, the steering level of the project organization, i.e. the decision-makers, the project sponsor and members of the project committee, must assume their responsibility for the successful execution of the project and the preservation of stakeholder interests. 

Sharpening the understanding of this key role of decision-makers in projects is the objective of our training aimed at this target group. Chapter 1 presents the most important roles for decision-makers. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the structure of the HERMES 2022 project management method. Chapter 3 focuses on the topics that need to be considered in the context of project implementation. And finally, chapter 4 summarises the standard checklists that HERMES provides for decision-making by the steering level at the relevant milestones. These checklists may be customised to the specifics of the respective project, for which the project manager will provide support. In the margin notes, we refer to the relevant chapters in the HERMES reference manual.
