1 Appendix 1 to agenda item 10 Project Management Guide 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose This section sets out the key principles and expectations for how project management should take place at Chichester District Council (CDC). It is aimed at everyone who has a role in managing or delivering projects and links to our annual planning cycle and performance monitoring processes. It is based on PRINCE2 methodology but has been tailored to CDC s own governance structure for project management. The guidance is not designed to be a training manual on how to be a project manager although basic information is included alongside supporting information and useful templates (see section six). New project managers may therefore require additional support or training if considered necessary. 2. Our Guiding Principles 2.1 What is a project? Whilst there are many definitions of a project, one of the most important things to determine is whether you are really commencing a project. It is possible that the activities you are going to undertake are actually an extension of your routine work or business as usual. We recognise that projects are different from the everyday operations of the council in that they: Have an agreed start and end date. Introduce change by creating something new or altering something that is already in place. This could include changes to processes, procedures or systems. Involves significant resources from other parts of the organisation or external providers. Have defined objectives and outcomes and create new outputs that will enable benefits to be realised and measured. Have a specific, temporary management organisation and governance arrangements set up for the duration of the project. Are susceptible to risks not usually encountered in the day to day operations of the council. Have fixed funding that could come from external sources or specially allocated budgets. 2.2 Typical Project Lifecycle Best practices in project management agree that well run projects should use a lifecycle view to help those involved understand what needs to be done to manage and execute the project and to make timely decisions about the project s status and progress. Although there are a number of recognised project lifecycle models available each follow a phased approach along the lines of:
2 Project start Project execution Project close Define and agree the project objectives. Compile the business case, setting out the expected outcomes and how they will be measured. Identify the project costs and resources required. Produce project plans and agree how the project will be managed. Gain approval for the project to commence. Execute agreed plans and produce required outputs. Monitor and report performance, expenditure and progress. Report any critical issues by exception. Watch for and assess risks. Review the project s performance, expenditure and management. Identify lessons learned. Gain approval to close the project. Confirm how outstanding outcomes will be realised and measured. 2.3 Inputs, Outputs and Outcomes Every project must have a clearly defined business case at the outset in order to judge whether it is worth proceeding with or not. Rather than just focusing on time, cost, quality and the immediate outputs of the project; it is also necessary to identify what outcomes will be achieved. A basic guide to help distinguish between outputs and outcomes is included below. Input Output Outcome Outcome Measure Inputs are the resources that contribute to project delivery. Inputs commonly include things such as staff time, funding, assets or IT systems. An output is the immediate result of the project - what is produced - and can be tangible or intangible. For example a new building built, a new strategy written, a new process or system implemented. An outcome is the result of the change derived from the output it is the WHY the council is doing an activity rather than the WHAT. For example, if the immediate output is the implementation of a new applications system, the expected outcome could be that applications are processed more quickly and accurately. An outcome measure helps us to realise the benefits that derive from the project outcome(s). Using the previous example, an outcome measure for a new applications system could be that costs are reduced by 10%, the volume of applications increases by 15% and revenue increases by 10% annually. 2.4 Overarching Principles Regardless of the size of the project, the following principles should apply (although the level of detail may vary). 1. Business case: The project must have a clear business case which ultimately feeds into the council s Corporate Plan. If the project is not meeting an identified need or if the expected outcomes are not clear from the outset then it should be reconsidered before proceeding. 2. Defined roles and responsibilities: Every project must have one Senior Responsible Owner who takes ultimate responsibility and accountability for its
3 successful completion. It is also essential that all project participants know what their responsibilities are and how they fit with the project s objectives. 3. Sufficient resources: Ensure the project is adequately resourced. Input from support services (e.g. Finance, HR, ICT, Legal, Procurement, Estates) must be identified and agreed as early as possible. 4. Risks managed: Establish what the risks are and frequently review throughout the life of the project. 5. Plan: The project must be planned with key milestones and timescales identified. This can only be done to a level of detail that is manageable and foreseeable. A detailed plan for the short term and an outline plan for the long term is an effective approach dividing the project into a number of management stages as necessary. 6. Control and report by exception: The project must be kept under an appropriate level of control and regularly reviewed against the business case. Any significant issues or changes to the business case, project plan, level of risk, or variation against the project budget should be escalated to the next management level or in line with the project s management structure. 7. Communication: Get all relevant stakeholders on board and communicate regularly, including issues and progress against the project plan. 8. Lessons learned and post project evaluation: Keep a log of lessons learned along the way and evaluate the project upon completion, establishing whether the expected outcomes were successfully met or not. Where any expected outcomes and/or outcome measures are yet to be realised these should be identified in the post project evaluation alongside anticipated timescales for their achievement so they can be evaluated in the future. 3. Project Governance 3.1 Project Scale Whilst there may be similarities, all projects are unique and will vary in size, complexity, importance and risk. As a consequence not all projects need the same degree of control and management. For this reason we have created three simple categories of project which are set out below and when initiating a new project, the Project Type Matrix template should be completed to determine which category your project falls into based on the total score awarded (see Documents and Templates - section 6.1). However, remember that assessing the scale of a project is not an entirely objective process; experience and common sense should also be used to confirm the most appropriate level of management.
4 Small Project score of 22 or less A project that is mainly delivered by a single person or a single team, often without the need for resources from another service area. The project cost is under 50,000 and has limited or loose links to the council s Corporate Plan. Project details should be recorded in the relevant Service Plan specifying the expected outcomes and key milestones. Project management should be at service level, although significant issues should be reported by exception to the next level of management. Project progress should be monitored within the service via Covalent if considered appropriate by the Assistant Director. Medium Project score from 23 to 62 A project that involves more than one service area. The project cost is 50,000 to 175,000 and directly contributes to a Corporate Plan objective. The Initial Project Proposal Document (IPPD), the Project Initiation Document (PID) and the Post Project Evaluation (PPE) must go to the Corporate Management Team (CMT) to approve and give instruction on how to proceed. Project roles and responsibilities must also be defined and allocated at the start of the project. Any support services must be engaged at the earliest stage to advise on costs, risks, technical capabilities and timescales. Project progress must be monitored via Covalent and updated monthly. Critical issues such as changes (realised or anticipated) to the business case, project plan, level of risk, or variation against the project budget must be reported to CMT via their monthly exception performance reports unless it is time critical in which case it should be raised earlier. Large Project score of 63 or more Same as medium project but the project cost is over 175,000 and directly contributes to more than one Corporate Plan objective. The PID and an Options Appraisal must go to CMT and be approved by Cabinet. In compliance with the council s Constitution, all large projects must also include a representative of the Section 151 Officer to ensure that all governance issues are complied with. This person must have no operational responsibilities within the project team. Critical issues such as changes (realised or anticipated) to the business case, project plan, level of risk, or variation against the project budget must be reported to Cabinet if considered appropriate by CMT or the Senior Responsible Owner. 3.2 Project Documentation The table below sets out the minimum project documentation requirements for each project type.
5 Requirement Project Type Small Medium Large Project overview in Annual Service Plan. Yes Yes Yes Initial Project Proposal Document. No Yes Yes Project Initiation Document.

Project Monitoring Covalent is used across the council to monitor progress against projects and to track performance against outcome measures. The detail of the project or outcome measure is initially uploaded onto Covalent by Corporate Policy for the relevant service/project Manager to maintain. This information must be supplied by the Project Manager, taken from the IPPD and PID once approved. All officers and members are able to have read only access to Covalent and each service has a minimum of one user license. For larger projects it is beneficial to use a tool such Microsoft Project to plan the key dates, map out critical paths, and allocate roles to individuals. The approach taken to manage the project plan can be decided by the Project Manager however project progress, budget and key milestones must be uploaded onto Covalent for all medium and large projects to ensure CMT and members are informed of the project s status and to support successful exception reporting.
8 5. Annual Planning Cycle Whilst it is appreciated that new projects may arise during the year in response to unforeseen circumstances, the annual planning cycle exists to ensure new project proposals are prioritised according to the objectives set out in our Corporate Plan. For more information on the key activities and timescales in relation to the annual planning cycle please refer to Section Two of the toolkit The Annual Planning Cycle (to be developed). 6.
