2 Project Name: A brief, succinct name of the project Expected Completion Date: XX/XX/XXXX Project Scope: A one or two sentence statement that succinctly identifies the expected deliverable Project Definition: One or two paragraphs that clearly describe the project requirements. This section will also indicate known stakeholders which are anyone who will affect or is affected by the project. The project team should fine-tune and gain consensus on this definition before moving forward. Not in Scope: During the requirements gathering phase of the project, some aspects of the project are considered for future consideration. Those ideas should be recording here. Project Team: This includes the project requestor and/or project champions Approval: Name and date of approval Budget: Monies flowing out of the organization related to the project
3 Project Task List: Task: Assigned To: Due Date: Status: Task A task refers to the project activities. The length of any one task should be short and the number of resources assigned should be few. For the most part, project team members associate the term tasks with things they are individually responsible for. The deliverables from the tasks ultimately combine to form the deliverable of the project. Assigned To The person, persons or department responsible for completion of the task. Due Date Expected completion date of the task. This date is subject to change as the project moves forward and tasks deadlines are missed. Status An indication of the current state of the task. Expected states are: Blank(Not yet started) In Progress Done Removed Every project task list should include at least: Requirements meeting Requirements review Project approval(s) Final deliverable handover/final implementation
4 Member Application Update: Campaign Codes Expected Completion Date: 01/05/2012 Project Scope: Update the Home page of the Member application to add a section to capture campaign information from the applicant. Project Definition: The campaign codes were part of the old application pages in a section called question #2 which asked What influenced you to join We decided to add question #2 from the old application to the Home page of the new Member application. We also decided to remove the prorated pricing information and put it behind a More Information button. Lastly, we decided to change question #2 from a series of radio buttons to a drop list to preserve space. We decided to remove the word optional from the Who influenced you to join.. question. In addition, we will make sure the revised home page makes it obvious that these questions are part of the application. To do this, we should add the statement: Begin Here in the same font style as: Home. Begin Here should be placed right above the first question: Who encouraged you to join?. Project Stakeholders: Membership Department Members This project is help membership department make the membership application process easier to use and make it easier for them to collect campaign codes. Not in Scope: In the future, Membership will solicit an annual review process of all online and hard copy applications to make sure they are meeting needs. We considered, but decided against making the: Who influenced you to join.. and What influenced you to join.. options mandatory. Task: Assigned To: Due date: Status: Requirements meeting Project Team 12/22 DONE (12/23) Requirements Review Project Team 12/22 DONE (12/23) Project Approvals Heidi 12/22 DONE (12/26) Update Campaign Codes Scott/Terra 12/30 In Progress Create More Info button w/popup Heidi 1/02 Create Drop Down Kim 1/02 User acceptance testing Michelle 1/02 Implement New Web pages MIS 1/05 Project Team: Michelle Abelson Heidi Carlson Scott Grant Kimberly Mosley Project Approval: Cynthia Abrams 12/26/11
