Our Mission: Project Management Excellence
The solution to successful project implementation planning is to develop
an understanding of the full scope of the multi-service network project
and then developing a project plan. The project plan is a single document
or collection of documents that should be expected to change over time
- a "living" document - as more information becomes available
about the project. A solid project plan is a blueprint, or a game plan,
that charts the entire project's course. For example, the risk assessment
portion of the plan should help to minimize the cost of rework by anticipating
and addressing problems early in the project. There are many ways to organize
and present the project plan, at Harmonix it includes all of the following:
- Project description and overview
- A description of the project management approach or strategy
- Scope statement, which includes the project deliverables and the project
objectives
- Work breakdown structure ("WBS") to the level at which control
will be exercised
- Cost estimates, scheduled start dates, and responsibility assignments
to the level of the WBS at which control will be exercised
- Performance measurement baselines for schedule and cost
- Definition of project success criteria
- Major milestones and target dates for each
- Subsidiary management plans, including:
- Risk management plan that identifies key risks, including constraints
and assumptions, and planned responses for each
- Resource management plan
- Schedule management plan
- Cost management plan
- Quality assurance/quality control plan
- Communications plan
