Stating the project scope requires developing the project deliverables statement that describes the product/service to be produced at the project’s completion. Meanwhile, there is also a need to set up the scope for the product and define its key characteristics (features and functions). In this article we will talk about the product scope statement and also describe the three steps for managing stakeholder requirements.
In order to state deliverables for a project, it is necessary to identify and specify the key characteristics for each of the deliverables. These characteristics are Milestones, CPD (Cost Per Deliverable), Budget, Activities Required, and Requirements. In this article we will talk about the project deliverables statement and also what deliverables mean.
Evaluation planning is the final high-level process of the Project Setup phase to develop a comprehensive evaluation plan that explains how the project manager should plan for measuring the success of the project effort. Evaluation planning is necessary for making appropriate reviews and analysis of the project implementation process. The project manager in consultation with an advisory board and experts must create a plan for evaluating status and progress of the implementation process. This person will be responsible for information the key stakeholders on the progress through exchanging regular status reports and also the final project report.
As a project gets into the initiation phase, it requires an effective linkage mechanism that ensures alignment between the strategic project objectives and direction, and the path to planned outcomes over the implementation life-cycle of the project. In other words, such a mechanism must help sustain the project’s potential to deliver the stated benefits. Moreover, this mechanism must provide oversight and control over the project during the execution process. It must help managers and leaders to assess the project’s current progress and adjust content and direction to the objectives if necessary. The mechanism should also allow senior management to refine the definition of success and maintain alignment with the evolving project plan.
It is impossible to efficiently finalize a project without having developed a comprehensive and informative report. Using project report templates helps project managers to communicate necessary information on project development, implementation and completion to the key stakeholders who have an interest or concern in the project. The following Project Report Template is designed to help project managers with developing a complete structure for their reports. We tried to make the Template comprehensive and included descriptions of the key sections of a typical project report. Also we listed basic suggestions and tips on project reporting.
