FIT2002 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Business Case, Quality Assurance, Scope Creep
Document Summary
5 things you need to monitor on projects: % complete, hitting your baseline dates, quality, budget, external dependencies. Project execution: work on each task defined in the wbs to produce the identified outcomes and to follow the defined or adapted project schedule. Problems that occur during execution: human resources, managing stakeholder expectations. Insufficient planning and estimating: overly optimistic schedules, adding additional resources, unmanaged conflict, quality assurance not managed. Monitoring: collecting and reporting information to determine if quality standards have been met. Control: uses the information supplied by the monitoring techniques in order to bring project actual results in line with stated project performance standards. Monitoring and control: measure and report progress, handle changes to scope, time, cost and quality, manage the project team, manage risk mitigation strategies and administer procurement contracts. Integrated change control: formal process used to approve and manage all necessary project document and deliverable changes.
