1 Project Management Process O VERVIEW Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a high level overview of a standard project management process for Information and Communications Technology. A full project management process will be developed in the future as we implement our Project Portfolio Office. Project Life Cycle The following diagram highlights the five key stages of any project: initiation, planning, execution, closure, and asset maintenance. It shows the flow of events across these stages from the perspective of the project flow, the decision-making steering committee, and the appropriate control mechanisms

2 Project Management Process Key project flow events Initiation phase: development of the project charter Project charter is required for new projects over 20 person days or $5,000 Purpose of project charter o Business case to justify the project o Document project parameters o Guide project development o Acquire formal authorization to proceed to the next step in the project o Authorize the use of resources to develop detailed project plan o Sufficient information to help the steering committee make their decision Standard template shown in subsequent section Generally brief: 5 pages maximum Planning phase: development of project plan Project plan is required for any project over 40 person days It is a document used to used to: o Guide project execution and control o Document project planning assumptions o Facilitate communication amongst stakeholders o Define key management review activities o Provide a baseline for project measurement and control Standard template shown in subsequent section Second stage of approval process for steering committee Changes over time as project circumstances dictate Scalable Sufficient level of detail for: o Steering committee to commit resources o Project manager to run the project Execution phase: reporting and change requests Project manager responsible for implementing project according to project plan Required to submit regular project status updates covering accomplishments for the current reporting period, plans for the next reporting period, and challenges that could prevent the project from meeting its objectives Change requests must be submitted for any material modification of the project plan

3 Project Management Process o o A material request means any change to the budget, scope, schedule, quality, risk, or resourcing of the project that could impact the project objectives A change request template is included in a subsequent section Closure phase A lessons-learned document is produced for every project Template shown in subsequent section Purpose is stop re-inventing the wheel every time for every project All projects are expected to document their lessons learned Must store those ideas in a re-useable form New projects are expected to review lessons learned from previous similar projects and apply appropriate knowledge to the current project

4 Project Charter April 6, 2015 P ROJECT C HARTER T EMPLATE Template Purpose The following document outlines the content and format of project charters to be used for all projects. A project charter should be written for each project requiring authorization or funding. A charter could also be completed for smaller-scope projects if there is a departmental preference or obligation to mitigate risk. Any project requiring over 20 person days (one month) of effort or $20,000 of funding requires a project charter. All sections are mandatory. Please replace the existing text with your own. Each project charter is intended to clearly document the project parameters, guide project development, and acquire formal approval to proceed with the project. The charter will be reviewed by the ICT Leadership Team, and potentially brought to the appropriate stewardship committee for further approval. There must be sufficient information in this document for these groups to make a decision. The decision will be one of the following: i. Approval in principle Approval in principle to proceed with the project subject to certain conditions. These conditions require follow-up with the steering committee before proceeding with project plan development or project execution. ii. Approval to plan Approval to spend the resources necessary to develop a detailed project plan (large, complex projects) iii. Approval to execute Approval to proceed with project execution (small, inexpensive, shorter projects) iv. On hold Approval in principle with the project concept, but further work is put on hold until certain conditions are met. No work is to proceed on the project until the steering committee judges all of the criteria are met. v. Rejection The project charter does not meet the project evaluation criteria and all work on the project will halt. Note: If you are seeking Approval to Plan, please ensure you clearly indicate so. Example: Indicate which costs are for developing the plan, versus which are necessary for executing the project. Project charters must be submitted to the ICT Project Portfolio Office. You must submit 1 week prior to the ICT Leadership meeting you would like to present at. These meetings are usually held every two weeks. Remove this page from your project charter before submission. The total number of pages in the final document must not exceed 5 pages.

5 Project Plan April 6, 2015 P ROJECT C HARTER Project Name: Project ID: Author(s) of Charter: Project Manager: Submission Date: Summary Meaningful, yet concise Automatically assigned by the ICT SharePoint Project Inventory: Author(s) and contributors Name Date submitted Sponsor: Name Total Monetary Total Asset Consumption Completion Date: Month, Day, Year Planned One- Time Costs: $ $ Linkages: Other projects with dependencies Planned Recurring Costs: Planned Person Days: $ $ Total Person Days P URPOSE What are the reasons for undertaking the project? What is the purpose for doing it? Identify the key needs that the project is designed to meet. Include background material on reasons why these needs have arisen. On larger projects it is helpful to describe the overall mission of the project. This charter is a request to the ICT Leadership committee for permission to proceed with work. Choose one of the following options and state your request: 1. Approval in principle 2. Approval to plan 3. Approval to execute S PONSOR Define who wants the project to be implemented. These individuals are known as project sponsors or owners. Who will own and manage the project results once it is completed? These individuals provide key sources of funding for the project. C LIENT( S ) & K EY S TAKEHOLDERS What are the departments in the organization that will utilize the results of the project? Identify the key users of the system and where in the University they are located. What will the impact of this project be on administrators, educators, learners, researchers, and/or the community? B ENEFITS & S UCCESS C RITERIA From the perspective of a return on investment, why should ICT undertake this project? Example benefits: Lower the cost to operate the organization Deliver products and services faster Handle more work with same resources Improve customer service and satisfaction

6 Project Plan April 6, 2015 What exactly are the direct and indirect benefits to the University? How are the benefits to be achieved? When will we know if the overall project was a success? 1. Benefit (What?) Strategy (How?) Success Criteria (When?) I N S COPE What features and functions will the project deliver? Identify all the major deliverables of the project. Describe the final product or process to be created by the project. This section forms the agreement between the project manager and the sponsor about the expected results of the project. O UT OF S COPE Identify what is not part of the project. These are features that are not part of the project but may be mistaken to be part of the project. This section is included to help clarify the boundary between what is in the project and what is not. W ORK B REAKDOWN S TRUCTURE What are the key deliverables for the project? When are they expected and what should be delivered on these dates? Only the first or second level of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) needs to be documented at this point in the project (but milestones must be included in your WBS). Focus on what and when, not how; how is for your Project Plan (if applicable). If you are seeking Approval to Plan, you will include only the work required for the planning stage. WBS # What By When 1.0 Project Management * Project Charter * Project Plan Monitoring * Close-Out Report * Requirements Gathering Use Case Documentation 2.2 Technical Specification 3.0 Develop System * System Test Testing Report 4.2 User Acceptance Testing 5.0* Move To Production Production Checklist 5.2 System Deployment * = Milestones R ESOURCES Based on the work breakdown structure, identify the resources required and document approximately how many person-days will be needed to complete the project. This list should include the project manager, functional analysts, and technical analysts who will contribute to the project throughout the life of the project. It also includes any subject matter experts to be included on a part-time basis as needed. This section is mandatory and must be supplied for all project charters. If reasonably accurate numbers cannot be determined, estimates must be supplied with a statement explaining the degree of confidence in the estimates. If you are seeking Approval to Plan, you will include only the work required for the planning stage.

Jagger 25 95% 2.0 Systems Administrator Acquisition/build of test server K. Richards 5 75% Person Days: 30 C OSTS Monetary costs represent cash expenses paid to do the work, upgrade infrastructure, purchase software, outsource, or hire external resources. One-time monetary costs are incurred during the life of the project and are paid for by the project budget. Postimplementation costs of maintaining the project results are also identified here as recurring monetary costs (always identified annually). For example: Monetary Costs: One-Time WBS # Description Recovery from? Total Cost IBM Server ICT capital $10,000 +/- 5% 4.1 Contract programmer ICT base budget $50,000 +/- 10% Total One-Time: $60,000 +/- 10% Monetary Costs: Recurring WBS # Description Recovery from? Total Cost 5.1 Vendor service agreement ICT base budget $250 / year Total Recurring: $250 / year Asset consumption costs represent resources consumed that are not paid for by the project budget. One-time asset consumption costs are incurred during the life of the project. Recurring asset consumption costs are incurred after the project is complete. For example: Asset Consumption Costs: One-Time WBS # Description Units Consumed Total Cost 5.0 Initial disk storage 25GB $6, Initial tape backup 50GB $2,000 Total One-Time: $8,000 Asset Consumption Costs: Recurring WBS # Description Units Consumed Total Cost 4.1 IT application support 20 person days / year $40,000 / year 5.0 Server hosting (x3) $600 / server / year $1,800 / year Total Recurring: $41,800 / year 2014/15 ASPA (Specialist/Professional/IT/Managerial) Full Position Costing Estimates (Target Salary/Per Year): $69,000 (Phase 1), $87,000 (Phase 2), $108,000 (Phase 3). A LTERNATIVES What other approaches have been considered? List the alternative project strategies available to develop the project such as outsourcing, purchasing off-the-shelf software, customized code development, etc. and why they were not selected. C ONSTRAINTS What are the strategic directives that will guide decision-making throughout the life of the project (if any)? Document the overarching project themes. Typically, but not necessarily, these themes cover cost, timeliness, and quality. R ISKS What are the risks that may impact successful completion of the project? For each risk, identify the probability of occurrence and expected impact of the risk if it occur. Use H/M/L for High/Medium/Low. For example:

8 Project Plan April 6, 2015 Description Probability Impact Lack of available resources M H Furthermore, please document the risks to the institution if ICT does not deliver on this project, or if the project is unsuccessful. S UPPLEMENTAL P ROJECT C ONSIDERATIONS Metric Will this project be exposed to - or be expected to manage - sensitive personal or institutional information? For example, does the project have HIPA, PCI or PIPEDA implications? Does this project align with the principles of ICT s enterprise architecture? Value (Yes, No, Unsure) If yes or unsure, please contact ICT Access & Compliance (Yes, No, Unsure) If no or unsure, please contact the ICT Enterprise Architect (Your completed project charter must not exceed 5 pages in length)

9 Project Plan April 6, 2015 P ROJECT P LAN T EMPLATE Template Purpose The following document outlines the content and format of project plans to be used for major projects. Any project requiring greater than 40 person days of effort requires a project plan. A project plan should be written for each project charter granted approval to plan by a stewardship committee. Completed project plans are submitted to the ICT Management Team and if approved will be escalated to the appropriate stewardship committee for formal approval. There must be sufficient information in this document for these groups to make a decision. The project plan is a formal, approved document used to manage project execution. The project plan is a document or collection of documents that should be expected to change over time as more information becomes available about the project. There are many ways to organize and present the project plan, but all of the sections identified in this document should be included. Each project plan is intended to clearly document how the project will be executed and will serve as guide during the execution phase of the project. There must be sufficient information in this document to help the steering committee make their decision to proceed with the project, as well as sufficient detail to enable the project manager to run the project. Project plans should be submitted to the ICT Project Portfolio Office. You must submit 2 weeks prior to the meeting you would like to present at. These meetings are usually held every two months. As the project progresses through the execution phase and project circumstances change, this document will be updated to reflect these changes. These changes must be submitted to the steering committee for approval. The document shell outlined below identifies the key sections needed for any project plan. Anything in red Italics is simply a description of the kind of information that should be entered. All text in red Italics in this document is instructional and should be removed from the final version of each project plan. Remove this page from your project charter before submission. The total number of pages in the final document is not restricted.

11 Project Closeout April 6, 2015 P ROJECT S TRATEGY Describe the project management approach or strategy. Provide a summary of the relationship between the project and organization strategy and policy. S COPE Scope Statement The objective of the scope statement is to refine the project boundaries originally outlined in the Project Charter. Develop the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to the level at which management control will be exercised and the WBS becomes the project s baseline scope document. Include the project objectives and the prime project deliverables. Scope Management Plan Describes how project scope will be managed and how scope changes will be integrated into the project. Include an assessment of the expected stability of the project scope (i.e. likelihood, frequency, and quantity of changes). The Scope Management Plan should also include a clear description of how scope changes will be identified and classified. S CHEDULE Schedule Baseline The project schedule lists planned dates for performing activities and meeting milestones identified in the project plan. It includes the following: Start and finish dates for each task in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) All dependencies amongst tasks in the WBS Resources assigned to each task in the WBS Schedule Management Plan Define how changes to the schedule will be managed. Note: You will likely find it easiest to use a tool such as Microsoft Project for your schedule. Page 2 of 6

12 Project Closeout April 6, 2015 B UDGET Cost Baseline Estimate the cost of each deliverable in the WBS. Present it as an easy-to-read table that includes separate columns for One-time Monetary, One-Time Resource Consumption, Recurring Monetary, and Recurring Resource Consumption. Cost Management Plan Define how cost variances will be managed (including the different responses to major versus minor problems) and how they will be reported. Determine how budget revisions or forecasts will be developed and how frequently they will be made. The Project Manager must: Explain how this project will be funded and describe this information here; Separate capital and operating costs; Use estimate confidence numbers for uncertain estimates (e.g. +/-10%); If applicable, specify the source for funding; and, Include all applicable taxes. Example of monetary costs: Monetary Costs: One-Time WBS # Description Budget Code Recovery from? Total Cost IBM Server Computer hardware ICT capital $10,000 +/- 5% 4.1 Contract programmer Temporary salary ICT base budget $50,000 +/- 10% Total One-Time: 0 +/- 10% Monetary Costs: Recurring WBS # Description Budget Code Recovery from?

13 Project Closeout April 6, 2015 Q UALITY M ANAGEMENT Quality Definition Describe how the project will implement its quality policy. Test matrices and plans are considered part of the quality management process. The project quality system includes the organizational structure, responsibilities, procedures, processes, and resources needed to implement quality management. Quality Management Plan The quality management plan must address quality control, quality assurance, and quality improvement for the project. Define what quality means to customers in the context of this project and specifically how it will be measured. This plan must address benefits realization. What are the metrics to measure how benefits will be realized? Define the process by which these benefits will be measured the person(s) responsible for turning promised customer benefits into reality. R ESOURCES Staff Baseline Identify the key or required staff and their expected cost and/or effort. Document the organizational structure of project. Staffing Management Plan Define when and how human resources will be added to and removed from of the project team. Asset Management Plan Define facility, technical, and physical resources needed to support the project. C OMMUNICATIONS Communications Strategy Define the key messages to be sent externally and internally and identify stakeholders to receive messaging. Communications Management Plan Page 4 of 6

14 Project Closeout April 6, 2015 The communications plan is a description of the information to be distributed, including format, content, level of detail, and conventions/definitions to be used. It includes production schedules showing when each type of communication will be produced and who will receive the information. A method for updating and refining the communications management plan as the project progresses and develops should also be included. R ISKS Risk Management Plan Identify key risks including constraints and assumptions, and determine planned responses and contingencies for each risk. Risk Response Plan Risk response plans should: Identify risks, their descriptions, the area(s) of the project affected, their causes, and how they may affect project objectives; Assign risk owners and their responsibilities; Document results from the qualitative and quantitative risk analysis processes; Identify agreed upon or approved responses including avoidance, transference, mitigation, or acceptance for each risk in the risk response plan; Identify the level of residual risk expected to remain after the strategy is implemented; and Document specific actions required to implement the chosen response strategy, including budget and times for responses, and contingency plans and fall back plans. P ROCUREMENT M ANAGEMENT P LAN Describe how the procurement processes will be managed. Processes include: Vendor solicitation Source selection Contract administration Contract close-out Key questions to answer in the plan include: What types of contracts will be used? If independent estimates will be needed as evaluation criteria, who will prepare them and when? How will the project management team work with the Purchasing department? How will multiple providers be managed? How will procurement be coordinated with other project aspects, such as scheduling and performance reporting? Page 5 of 6

15 Project Closeout April 6, 2015 S TAKEHOLDER M ANAGEMENT P LAN Identify the people, groups or organizations that could impact or be impacted by the project. Analyze those stakeholders expectations and their impact on the project, and to develop appropriate management strategies for effectively engaging stakeholders in project decisions and execution. Depending on the individual s power and influence in relation to the project, decide on whether to monitor them, keep them informed, keep them satisfied or to closely manage them. S UPPORTING D ETAIL Supporting details for the project plan include: Outputs from other planning processes that are not included in the project plan. Additional information or documentation generated during development of the project plan. Technical documentation; such as requirements history, specifications, and conceptual designs. Documentation of relevant standards. Specifications from early project development planning. Open issues and pending decisions. Page 6 of 6

16 Project Closeout April 6, 2015 P ROJECT C LOSURE T EMPLATE Template Purpose The following document outlines the content and format of project closeout reports to be used for major projects. A closeout report should be written for all completed projects. Completed closeout reports will have been circulated for consultation and then submitted to the appropriate steering committee for review before sign-off and for archival by Project Portfolio Office. The project closeout report is a document used to formally complete project execution. Stakeholder sign-off is required in order to declare the project closed. The closeout report must include every section described in this document. Each closeout report is intended to clearly document how the project proceeded and will serve as a guide to improve performance on future projects. There must be sufficient information in this document to satisfy stakeholders that the project is complete and sufficient detail to enable improvement in future projects. The expected benefits section of the closeout report is very important for future benefits tracking. The document shell outlined below identifies the key sections needed for any project closeout report. Anything in red Italics is simply a description of the kind of information that should be entered. All text in red Italics in this document is instructional and should be removed from the final version of each project closeout report. Remove this page from your final closeout report. Always start by looking at existing Project Closeout Reports and always use the latest version of the template from the ICT Project Portfolio Office. Page 7 of 1
