M3Topic2 Project Planning Elements, Project Planning Action and System Integration NEW

The document discusses key elements of project planning including developing a project plan, conducting a post-planning review, and ensuring all necessary elements are included in the plan. The project plan must contain an overview, objectives, general approach, contractual aspects, schedules, resources, personnel, evaluation methods, and potential problems. Project planning action involves sequencing activities from start to completion and developing an action plan. System integration aims to achieve desired performance in an optimal manner through integrating technical disciplines to meet customer objectives.

Project Plan

• The final approved result of this procedure is the project


plan, also known as a Master or Baseline plan
• Once planning phase is complete, it is beneficial to hold a
post-planning review
• The major purpose of the review is to ensure that all
necessary elements of a project plan have been properly
developed and communicated
Project Plan
The process of developing the project plan varies among
organizations, but any project plan must contain the
following elements:
• Overview - a short summary of the objectives and
scope of the project
• Objectives - A more detailed statement of the general
goals noted in the overview section
• General Approach - describes both the managerial
and technical approaches to the work
Project Plan Elements
• Contractual Aspects - includes a complete list and
description of all reporting requirements, customer
supplied resources, liaison arrangements, advisory
committees, project review and cancellation procedures
• Schedules - this section outlines the various schedules
and lists all the milestone events
• Resources - this includes the budget (both capital and
expense requirements) as well as cost monitoring and
control procedures
Project Plan Elements
• Personnel - this section lists the expected personnel
requirements of the project including special skills,
training needs, and security clearances
• Evaluation Methods - every project should be evaluated
against standards and by methods established at the
project’s inception
• Potential Problems - this section should include any
potential difficulties such as subcontractor default,
technical failure, tight deadlines, resource limitations and
the like. Preplanning may avert some crises
Project Planning Action
• Project plans are usually constructed by listing the
sequence of activities required to carry the project from
start to completion, and developing an action plan to
complete the activities
• This helps the planner decide the necessary sequence of
things
• Sequencing is a necessary consideration for determining
the project schedule and duration
Project Planning Action
Software and hardware developers commonly use a planning process
oriented around the life cycle events:
• Concept evaluation
• Requirements identification
• Design
• Implementation
• Test
• Integration
• Validation
• Customer test and evaluation
• Operations and maintenance
System Integration
• Systems Integration is one part of integration
management and plays a crucial role in the performance
aspect of the project

• This includes any technical specialist in the science or art


of the project who is capable of integrating the technical
disciplines to achieve the customer’s objectives
System Integration
• Systems Integration is concerned with three major objectives:
– Performance - what a system does
– Effectiveness - achieve desired performance in an optimal
manner
• Requires no component specifications unless necessary to
meet one or more systems requirements
• Every component requirement should be traceable to one or
more systems requirements
• Design components to optimize system performance, not the
performance of subsystems
– Cost Systems - cost is a design parameter
