grey = elements we choose not to, or have yet to, implement
italics = LRC additions
  1. Create scope statement
    • basic structure
      • input: needs, requirements
      • output: deliverables
      • constraints: time, cost, quality criteria, personnel availability
      • mechanisms: tools, staff, materials
    • check with previous instances, history
    • scope definition (subgroups, small tasks)
    • scope modifications: tie to versioning. manage expectations (risk) by versioning

  2. Compose project plan
  3. Characteristics: clear, well-documented Elements:
    • cost estimation
      • resources (campus community; fiscal; hardware)
      • control (PM; risk)
    • requirements, or inputs
    • tasks: outputs, minitasks
    • time schedules
      • durations, sequencing - tie back into scope definition
      • control (PM; risk)
    • communication environment: tool details; blog, wiki, email, morse code, smoke signals?
    • quality assessment criteria
      • KPI: Key Perfomance Indicator
      • CSF: Critical Success Factor
      • criteria for completion and success: feedback from client, project wrapup, peer assessment
      • balance different p.o.v

  4. Generate responsibility matrix (PMI)

  5. Situate project in context
    • consensus with supporting/supervising structures
    • curricular reintegration
    • promotion and seeking re-use options

  6. Ensure updating
    • establish versioning schedule: soft deadlines, per semester basis, Spiral Model
    • logic of emergence
