Joseph Phillips: Closing a Project Isn’t All Fun

#: 4

I find that project managers detest one portion of administrative closure: lessons learned documentation. Lessons learned documentation is a report on what the project manager, the project team, and the organization has learned as a result of the project work. For example, if the team learned a new skill, what does this new skill mean for the organization? If the project identified a project by-product that the organization could sell as part of a positive risk, this information is recorded and communicated.

Joseph Phllips: CAPM? Bueller? Bueller?

#: 104

When you consider that there are roughly 389,726 PMPs and just 11, 458 CAPMs it’s easy to question the value of the CAPM. In fact, I’m often reminded of the scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off where Ben Stein calls for Bueller. The CAPM just doesn’t have the same sexy allure as the PMP, but that doesn’t mean professionals should toss it aside as a junk certification.

How do you manage change? How do you persuade people, whether in your project, or in your company, that change is necessary? In recent years my own company was involved in persuading my government to take project management teaching and qualifications more seriously. It has paid off – with a petition containing the signatures of 2000 influential people, and then a letter appealing directly to our President – as of January 2010 it is now a requirement that all civil servants need to have professional project management training and qualifications. We expect other developments that will make project management qualifications for business and education.

Joseph Phillips, PMP: Estimating Time and Project Resources

#: 13

josephphillipsOnce the WBS has been created the project manager and the project team can begin to create an estimate of how long the project work will actually take and what resources are required to complete the project work. Resources are generally thought of as people and the roles they play within a project (think network engineer, mechanical engineer, and architect). Resources, however, are also things like materials, equipment, and facilities that the project needs in order to be successful.

1. Poor planning: Who are your IT managers and do they get enough opportunity to plan or under pressure from senior management they tend to think planning as a waste of time because they believe that time is better spent doing something rather than planning.  Do you involve your project team members in planning?  Do they have the skills and experience to make complete plans? Or you always ask them to implement the solution. These are fundamental questions that need to be answered first.

josephphillipsThe WBS is a decomposition of the project scope statement. It is a deliverables-oriented document that visualizes all the things the project will create. It is not, and I stress the word not, the activity list. The WBS takes the project scope statement and breaks it down into the deliverables the customer is expecting from the project. It organizes and catalogs the project deliverables.

Joseph Phillips, PMP: Detailing the Project Scope

#: 11

josephphillipsThe project scope statement is a document that defines what the project is, the project deliverables, and the work that the project team (and likely contractors) will have to do in order to create the identified project deliverables. The major purpose of the document is to communicate with the project team, the project customers, and the project stakeholders a common understanding of the project’s purpose, goals, and objectives. The project scope statement, as I’ll dive into one moment, also serves as a launching board for additional planning by the project team and the project manager.
