Preparing the Project Management plan

The workbook for preparation of the Project Management Plan is built around helping the Project Manager and the project team to use the Project Management Plan in support of successful projects. Please refer to it while developing this PMP for your project.

About This Document

Project Oversight Process Memorandum – DoIT, July 2007

“Project management plan” is a formal document approved by the executive sponsor and the Department and developed in the plan phase used to manage project execution, control, and project close.

The primary uses of the project plan are to document planning assumptions and decisions, facilitate communication among stakeholders, and documents approved scope, cost and schedule baselines.

A project plan includes at least other plans for issue escalation, change control, communications, deliverable review and acceptance, staff acquisition, and risk management.

“Project Manager” means a qualified person from the lead agency responsible for all aspects of the project over the entire project management lifecycle (initiate, plan, execute, control, close). The Project Manager must be familiar with project scope and objectives, as well as effectively coordinate the activities of the team. In addition, the Project Manager is responsible for developing the project plan and project schedule with the project team to ensure timely completion of the project. The Project Manager interfaces with all areas affected by the project including end users, distributors, and vendors. The Project Manager ensures adherence to the best practices and standards of the Department.

Project product” means the final project deliverables as defined in the project plan meeting all agreed and approved acceptance criteria.

“Product development life cycle” is a series of sequential, non-overlapping phases comprised of iterative disciplines such as requirements, analysis and design, implementation, test and deployment implemented to build a product or develop a service.

Project Management Plan for PERA Document Imaging System

1.0 Project Overview

1.1 Executive Summary- rationale for the Project

PERA currently does not have an automated process, to aid in researching and retrieving historical PERA Board and Committee Meeting Minutes. The current manual process is very time consuming, as users must search page by page through hard copy records to find information they are seeking. Many of the records can contain in excess of several thousands of pages, each of which must be read to find the information desired. Thus the records request, staff requests and Board and Committee requests take several days to weeks to research, find and provide to the requestor. There currently is not plan in place in the event of a manmade or natural disaster, which PERA will be able to recover the vital information these files contain. This project will be a great benefit to all PERA staff members and customers, as PERA will be able to provide information to all parties in an efficient and timely manor. PERA staff will be given access to content searches, web based retrieval and access to provide information upon request in several different formats. This system expansion will also provide a disaster recovery solution that will benefit all parties in the event of any disaster, by creating multiple copies of records in accordance with State Records Center rules. This system will also give the ability for multiple users to access the information concurrently, which currently can not be done.
