A project management plan is a formal, approved document that defines how the project is executed, monitored, and controlled. It may be a summary or a detailed document and may include baselines, subsidiary management plans, and other planning documents.Project managers spend a substantial amount of time ensuring baselines are achieved, ensuring the project sponsor and the organization get the full benefits of their projects. Besides proper planning, a project manager’s abilities also lie in efficiently controlling the project and ensuring project deliverables are on time—and that the project is completed per the project management plan.

Project Management Plan details how a project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. In general, it should include at least:
1. Scope, Schedule, and Cost Baseline.
2. Subsidiary plans for each knowledge area.
3. Additional information on project nature and life cycle.
Here I describe the possible amount of information a project management plan may include.

Quality software project managementHow are tasks, activities, and .pdffashioncollection2
Quality software project management
How are tasks, activities, and phases most typically related to each other with respect to a
project? chapter 1
Solution
Answer :-
Software Project Management :
Tasks :
The during the development phase, everything that will be needed to implement the project is
arranged. Potential suppliers or subcontractors are brought in, a schedule is made, materials and
tools are ordered, instructions are given to the personnel and so forth. The development phase is
complete when implementation is ready to start. All matters must be clear for the parties that will
carry out the implementation
Activitie :
An activity is a major unit of work to be completed in achieving the objectives of a process. An
activity has precise starting and ending dates, incorporates a set of tasks to be completed,
consumes resources, and results in work products. An activity may have a precedence
relationship with other activities. For example, finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish .
Phases :
The 5 Phases of a Project :
1) Project Initiation Phase :
A project is formally started, named and defined at a broad level during this phase. Project
sponsors and other important stakeholders due diligently decide whether or not to commit to a
project. Depending on the nature of the project, feasibility studies are conducted. Or, as it may
require, in an IT project – requirement gathering and analysis are performed in this phase. In the
construction industry a project charter is completed in this phase.
2) Project Planning Phase :
A project management plan is developed comprehensively of individual plans for – cost, scope,
duration, quality, communication, risk and resources. Some of the important activities that mark
this phase are -making WBS, development of schedule, milestone charts, GANTT charts,
estimating and reserving resources, planning dates and modes of communication with
stakeholders based on milestones, deadlines and important deliveries. A plan for managing
identified and unidentified risks is determined as this may affect aspects of a project later on.
Risk management planning includes: risk identification and analysis, risk mitigation approaches,
and risk response planning.
3) Project Execution Phase :
A project deliverable is developed and completed, adhering to a mapped-out plan. A lot of tasks
during this phase capture project metrics through tasks like status meetings and project status
updates, other status reports, human resource needs and performance reports. An important phase
as it will help you understand whether your project will be a success or failure.
4) Project Monitoring and Control Phase :
Project Monitoring and Control Phase occurring at the same time as the execution phase, this one
mostly deals with measuring the project performance and progression in accordance to the
project plan. Scope verification and control occur to check and monitor for scope creep, change
control to track and manage changes to proje.
Project management is about acquiring or achieving the project goal and Most projects need to be broken down into a logical sequence of ‘phases’, known as the project life cycle.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Updated: May 24, 2016 Page 2 of 2
Projectchecklist-160524115803 (Ver. 1.0)
Project Planning and Execution Checklist
The purpose of the Project Planning and Execution Checklist is to help guide Project Managers thru the 5 phases of the Project
Management process. Utilizing Loyola’s “best fit” approach to Project Management, not every component o f the checklist may need
to be addressed in every project. Additional components may be used by the Project Manager as they are deemed necessary and
required by their project. The key “components” of each Project Phase are outlined below:
Origination Phase:
The processes within this phase are focused on defining the need and getting the project prioritized and approved. Once the project
has been approved, it officially becomes a project and a project manager can be assigned. Activities can begin in earnest to work on
the project.
Initiation Phase:
The processes within this phase are focused on defining and organizing the new project. Within this phase the scope is begin ning to
be defined, as well as any needed budget requirements. Project member roles and responsibilities are identified, as well as the
overall Project Sponsor and key impacted stakeholders. Key deliverables of this Phase are the Project Kick-off meeting, the accepted
Project Definition document and the development of an initial Communication Plan. The Project Kick-off meeting and Project
Definition document identify “at a high-level” what the project is all about. The Project Definition doc. Helps to set expectations
with the Sponsor, Stakeholders and the project team. Development of a Communication Plan helps to identify who needs to see what
and when regarding project updates and status report. In this Phase, how the project will be completed is not as important as what the
project is about and who will be involved.
Planning Phase:
The processes within this phase are focused on defining the total scope of the effort, defining and refining the objects and developing
the plans to meet those objectives. All of the efforts within this Phase are geared toward developing a project s chedule and
identifying how the project will be completed. During this Phase, development of the project documentation is a dynamic pro cess.
As more and more information is gathered and developed, the planning documents will continued to be updated base d on the newly
obtained information. The key deliverable of this Phase is the Project Schedule. Development of a Project Schedule helps t o
identify potential resources constraints or conflicts with other project priorities. It also helps to communicate the timing of activities
to the Project Sponsor and Stakeholders and set expectations for when the project will be completed. In this Phase, how the project
will be completed is what’s important.
Execution Phase:
The processes within this phase are focused on monitoring and controlling the project. These activities are entirely focused on
completing the project activities, managing Sponsor and Stakeholder expectations and keeping the project on track to completion as
planned. Managing issues, risk and communications is key. Monitoring the Project Schedule and identifying possible schedule
slippage issues is a key project management activity. Frequent communication with the Sponsor and Stakeholders prevents
“surprises” from negatively impacting the project’s outcome. Utilizing more structured Quality Assurance processes helps to ensure
that the project is completed with the likelihood that there will be fewer defects.
Close-Out Phase:
The processes within this phase are focused on ensuring that all project activities have been completed and that the Sponsor’s
expectations, needs and requirements have been met. Early identification of the Sponsor’s Critical Success Factors and tracking
them thru the Planning and Execution phases helps to ensure a successful completion to the project. “Key” deliverables of this Phase
are the completion of the Project Close-out Report and holding a Project Close-out meeting. Project Team’s should use these 2
deliverables to identify what worked well during the execution of the project and what could have gone better. This feedback can be
used on future projects to help those projects run more smoothly.
