are defined.

Includes a clear
specification for what
needs to be done, who

implementation

is when the project plan

is put into action by
implementing the
processes outlined in the
previous stages.
Project monitoring
and controlling the
progress

Project progress must

be controlled and any
issues which arise as a
result of the day-to-
day work must be
dealt with.

This is the time when

teams should review

includes the problem or opportunity, goal,

objectives, success criteria, assumptions,
risks, and obstacles.
Problem/opportunity statement
is what the project addresses.
This sets the priority of the project.

Goal
what you intend to do to address the problem or
opportunity.
gives purpose and direction to the project

Objectives
further defines the goal. They clarify the goal
with more exact boundaries for the project.

Each objective statement should contain four

parts:
Outcome what is to be accomplished.
Time frame the expected completion date.
Measure- metrics that
will quantify success.
Action how the objective will be met.
Success criteria answer the
question of what the project is
going to accomplish and will say
when the project is done.
 Assumptions, risks, and
obstacles

hard to define.
 In poorly run projects, problems can
go undetected until the project fails.
It's like the dripdripdrip of a leaky
underground pipe. Money is being lost,
but you don't see it until there is an
explosion. - Joy Gumz

To run away from risks is to miss the

whole point. To ensure project success,
you need to take the right risks and
you need to be aware that, that is
what you are doing.
 Scope creep refers to the
incremental expansion of the scope
of a project, which may include and
introduce more requirements that
may not have been a part of the
initial planning of the project, while
nevertheless failing to adjust
schedule and budget.
