welcome to practical business analysis
my name is Americo Cunha
learn fast, solve problems, and make good decisions
A project is a journey with a very clear beginning and end.
In the way, you may find some twists but you can overcome them quickly.
In the pre-project phase, we define priorities
assess strategic fit,
prepare the business case,
and select projects to be developed.
After, the client may say this is what I need!
Can you show me how we can get there?
What should you do next?
Go ahead with the initiation activities!
define initial scope, estimate initial budget
evaluate major stakeholders
develop the PROJECT CHARTER
Get the formal approval, and move on
"walk" to planning activities
In the planning, you should do your best
to anticipate the course of actions
to deliver the project outcomes
the first stop in the planning process is the scope
The main activities are:
identify and select requirements
describe the project, service, and their boundaries
develop the WBS, pay attention,
WBS is the most important document to plan a projec
next stop is next stop, schedule planning,
based on the WBS
define activities, sequence activities
estimate activities resources,
estimate activities duration
develop a schedule, mainly the project network
and the Gantt chart
the human resource planning includes:
assigned internal staff, plan temporary recruitment
define resource calendar,
develop the responsibility assignment matrix
plan the training, plan team assessment
Now the crucial detail in any project, money.
In the cost planning, you should
estimate activities cost, t
determine budget,
develop the Time Phased Budget
This is an essential document
for the monitoring and control
and for the earned value report
The procurement is about to bring resources to the project.
You should prepare detail description
about the resources to be acquired externally,
develop sourcing and outsourcing plan.
Can you see the skull on the road?
what does it mean?
Risk planning includes the activities of
identifying risks of the project and its activities
performing risk analysis
preparing risk register
planning risk response
To conclude the project plan, you should work on
the communication and stakeholders management planning.
here you have to: identify communication requirements
of each stakeholder’s teams
determine the most suitable communications methods,
what, how, when, and to whom the reports should be sent
develop the stakeholder’s management plan
While working on each planning process, pay attention to review, adjust,
get feedback on the documents,
double checking information, assumptions, and premises
validate each document thoroughly.
Once the plan is approved, it is time to
execute all activities planned and delivery project products.
What is a toilet paper doing here?
when monitoring the project performance
be ready to see things that you don’t like.
Maybe, clean up some mess,
make sure to take actions to bring things back to track
don't forget to monitor control work executed
its time, duration, and costs
assure the quality of the deliverables
prepare earned value reports
prepare weekly status reports
In the end, be ready to shut down the project
don’t forget: to get formal delivery acceptance from the client,
to close down contracts,
to release all resources,
to develop the final report,
to evaluate the lessons learned
