4. Why do we want to breakdown requirements into smaller tasks?
1. Why is project planning NOT a onetime activity?
2. Why does the Project Manager need to establish project scope?
3. Why is communication so important in IT project?
5. What are the advantages of managing by Task Packages?
Summarize
work breakdown structure that details
all task packages that the project team is responsible for
delivering within the boundaries of time, cost, and
quality.
to create the product to ensure that the project
team understands what it must do.
A project scope is the sum of all the project’s products
and their features to be implemented and delivered to
customers.
To make a priority list of what requirement need to be done first
To make sure that all needs are under taken
To align customer expectations
Easier to estimate cost, time and resources needed for each requirement
Easier to manage work
To overview all the information needed of the project
To create scope and boundaries for the project and each requirement
Easier to measure and control
To manage resources

Project Planning is iterative activity, performed in successive phases over the life of a project.
Project plans must be flexible
Project plans must be periodically updated to integrate changes requested by the stakeholders
.

That the solution is implemented
according to the project plan
Provide an independent view of project activities,

Documenting Language
The Project Plan
Balancing Three Viewpoints
Roles & Responsibilities
Project Quality
Management By Release -1
Configuration Management
- focus on following the standard process in order to reduce cost and increase product stability
- library system is established as a repository for control & baseline
- The decomposition of the system into “task packages”
will define configuration items
Documenting Language
Document The Project Plan
Project planning is an iterative activity, as well as the
project plan documentation
