IT Project Management 项目管理- 01 Planning

1. Project Charter

Project Charter is a document which provides an initial description of the project as it is being initiated, including such key information as:

• Why it is being initiated
• Objective
• High-Level scope
• Project approach
• Estimated timing
• Initial risks
• Initial assumptions
• Initial Timeline
• Summary of expected costs(one time & on going cost)
• Benefits

Key Point: Project charters serve as a reference of authority for the future of the project.

2. Project Management Circle

1. Plan
2. Do
3. Check
4. Act

Tip：: We often spend too much time on PLAN and DO and not enough time on CHECK and ACT

Key Point: In the plan box we need to identify how we are going to check, otherwise we will not be able to interpret the results effectively.
在计划中，我们需要确定我们将如何检查，否则我们将无法有效地解释结果

3. Project Gating

Project gating is a series of activities and procedures intended to provide control and supervision over the project and its performance against planned goals and objectives. This process uses analysis as the major tool for assessing project performance and measuring achievements at any given stage throughout the project lifecycle.
Project Gating 是一系列活动和程序，旨在根据计划的目标和目的对项目及其绩效进行控制和监督。这个过程使用分析作为主要工具来评估项目绩效，并在整个项目生命周期的任何给定阶段衡量成果。

The gating Process helps:

• management determine whether their project is on time and budget
• determine whether to proceed to next milestones or deliverables.
• assess quality of project work, evaluate timeliness of project goals, and take remedial actions if necessary.
