Developing the Project Charter and Baseline Project Plan
Pay attention to the components that make up the project charter. MOV stands for Measurable Organizational Value and is a key component in developing the business case.
Project Administration
Project administration focuses on the knowledge areas, processes, and controls that will support the project. These are actually separate sub plans or strategies that make up the project management plan. Administration may include:
- A communications plan that outlines how the project's status or progress will be reported to various stakeholders. This plan also includes a process for reporting and resolving significant issues or problems as they arise.
- A scope management plan that describes how changes to the project's scope will be submitted, logged, and reviewed.
- A quality management plan that details how quality planning, assurance, and control will be supported throughout the project life cycle. In addition, a plan for testing the information system will be included.
- A change management and implementation plan that will specify how the project's product will be integrated into the organizational environment.
- A human resources plan for staff acquisition and team development.
