Update and refine the project success plan
DescriptionWork Breakdown StructureTeam AllocationWork Product Usage
Purpose
  • Create the Project Success Plan, which provides a definition of what will enable this project to deliver a successful solution to the business. It is not a legally binding contract or document. It constitutes a definition of why the project is being conducted, how the project will deliver a result, and what criteria will determine if a successful outcome is achieved.
  • The Project Success Plan describes the project in sufficient detail to:
  • Provide a common understanding of the project vision and plans amongst all stakeholders.
  • Facilitate agreement on the project plans and enable initiation of the solution design.
  • Provide a milestone plan and associated estimates for the project design, configure, deployment and ongoing operation of the solution.
  • The components of section 2 of the plan are:
  • Create exception statement
  • Create pre-configure and deployment requirements
  • Create configure and deployment assumptions
  • Create detailed configure and deployment resource plan
  • Create detailed configure and deployment schedule
  • Create appendices section 2.
