CHAPTER 11 Ideas


Communication and project management
To communicate a project there are several communication steps we need to do:
Kick-off meeting
We conduct a kick-off meeting with key stakeholders.
This establishes project timelines, required resources, agreed-upon outcomes for the project, reporting schedules and so on. The kick-off meeting serves two purposes.
· It serves to introduce the project team and formalize the project management aspects of the overall project.
· It provides an opportunity for the project team to receive a more detailed briefing from the team leader and to finalize user and stakeholder involvement.
Review the scope meeting
A review the scope meeting could be held at the end of any of the analysis, design, or implementation phases. We discuss the outcomes of that phase and their bearing on how to proceed with the project.
What we do
We walk the project team through showing them the paper designs and explaining both the rationale behind the different designs, and how we would expect each interaction to work.
We then discuss any implementation, content-related or business impact issues that may arise as a result of the designs.
Technical review
This is an opportunity for us to explain the design to our technical team and gain any feedback about any implementation issues, before the design progresses too far.
Final presentation to stakeholders
The presentation to our project stakeholders at the end of the design phase is a crucial opportunity for our organization to understand the design so far, and the rationale it is based on.
