  • Earned Value Management Earned Value Management
    Earned Value Management Earned Value Management Earned value management is a project management technique for measuring project performance and progress. It has the ability to combine measurements of the project management triangle: • Scope • Schedule, and • Costs In a single integrated system, Earned Value Management is able to provide accurate forecasts of project performance problems, which is an important contribution for project management. Essential features of any EVM implementation include: • a project plan that identifies work to be accomplished, • a valuation of planned work, called Planned Value (PV) and, • pre-defined “earning rules” (also called metrics) to quantify the accomplishment of work, called Earned Value (EV) • Current expenditure on project, called Actual Cost (AC).

  • Project Initiation Documents, the Information Contained in Those Documents Is Often Quite Similar, Despite Variations in the Terms Used
    et the Free Newsletter By the Project Initiation Mind Tools Editorial Team Documents Getting Your Project off to a Great Start 17 ratings Make sure that you're clear where you're heading from the outset. © iStockphoto FrancescoCorticchia Have you ever been part of a project where not everyone has the same view of where the project is heading? This lack of clarity can breed confusion: People start pulling in different directions, building up unrealistic expectations, and harboring unnecessary worries and fears. While it's normal as part of a project to put the detailed plans, controls and reporting mechanisms into place, how do you get everyone on the same page to start with? This is accomplished by creating a Project Initiation Document (PID) – the top-level project planning document. In it, you bring together all of the information needed to get your project started, and communicate that key information to the project's stakeholders. With a well-put-together Project Initiation Document, you can let everyone understand where the project's heading from the outset. Your Project Initiation Document does the following: • Defines your project and its scope. • Justifies your project. • Secures funding for the project, if necessary. • Defines the roles and responsibilities of project participants. • Gives people the information they need to be productive and effective right from the start. By creating a PID, you'll answer the questions: What? Why? Who? How? When? You can also use a Project Charter instead of a Project Initiation Document for these purposes as they are very similar documents. However, a Project Charter usually has less detail.

  • Great Big List of Project Management Words!
    Great big list of project management words! Accountability - The obligation to report on one's actions. Activity - Any work performed on a project. May be synonymous with task but in some cases it may be a specific level in the WBS (e.g., a phase is broken down into a set of activities, activities into a set of tasks). An activity must have duration and will result in one or more deliverables. An activity will generally have cost and resource requirements. See Task. Actuals - The cost or effort incurred in the performance of tasks. Also, the dates tasks have been started or completed and the dates milestones have been reached. Analogous Estimating - Estimating using similar projects or activities as a basis for determining the effort, cost and/or duration of a current one. Usually used in Top-down Estimating. Assumption - Something taken as true without proof. In planning, assumptions regarding staffing, complexity, learning curves and many other factors are made to create plan scenarios. These provide the basis for estimating. Remember, assumptions are not facts. Make alternative assumptions to get a sense of what might happen in your project. Authority - The ability to get other people to act based on your decisions. Authority is generally based on the perception that a person has been officially empowered to issue binding orders. See Power. Baseline - A point of reference. The plan used as the comparison point for project control reporting. There are three baselines in a project—schedule baseline, cost baseline and product (scope) baseline. The combination of these is referred to as the performance measurement baseline.

  • MARLAP Manual Volume I: Chapter 4, Project Plan Documents (PDF)
    4 PROJECT PLAN DOCUMENTS 4.1 Introduction The project plan documents are a blueprint for how a particular project will achieve data of the type and quality needed and expected by the project planning team. In the planning documents, the data users expectations and requirements, which are developed during the planning processincluding the analytical protocol specifications (APSs) and measurement quality objectives (MQOs)are documented along with the standard operating procedures (SOPs), health and safety protocols, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures for the field and laboratory analytical teams. The objectives of this chapter are to discuss: The importance of project plan documents; The elements of project plan documents; and The link between project planning and project plan documents, in particular the incorporation of the analytical protocols. The importance of project plan documents is discussed in Section 4.2. Section 4.3 discusses a graded approach to project plan documents. The different types of planning documents and the elements of the project plan documents are discussed in Sections 4.4 and 4.5, respectively. The link between project planning and project plan documents is discussed in Section 4.6. The project plan documents should be dynamic documents, used and updated over the life of the project. Under a performance-based approach, the analytical protocols requirements in the project plan documents initially may reflect the APSs established by the project planning team and issued in the statement of work (SOW). When the analytical laboratory has been selected, the project plan documents should be updated to reflect the actual protocols to be used.

The goal of budget management is to control project costs within the approved budget and deliver the expected project goals. Our definition of a successful project is one that meets four success criteria: that the project’s scope is delivered on schedule, it is delivered within budget and, once delivered, it meets the quality expectations of the donor and the beneficiaries. For project managers to be truly successful they must concentrate on meeting all of those criteria. The reality is that most project managers spend most of their efforts on completing the project on schedule. They spend most of their time on managing and controlling the schedule and tend to forget about monitoring and controlling the budget. The focus of this chapter is on managing and controlling the project budget throughout the entire project life cycle while relating budget control to the other success criteria.
