Project Management Plan

All Team Members Complete Together, Everyone Submits Individually to the Drop box

Based on their risk assessments, groups will prepare a project management plan for their selected project. The group will choose an appropriate framework for the project plan, select the needed components/sections and assign them for completion to specific team members. The team will include the team charter addressing the specific tasks assigned to team members (remember to include the team charter within the project plan).

The project management plan should address specific controls resulting from the risk assessment, as well as measurement and communications requirements for the progress of the project.

The project management plan will be as comprehensive as possible, with specific notation of sections and items which will be further developed as the project progresses.

1. A written project management plan will be provided including all needed materials (all elements, please reviewPMBOK pg 76 & 77 – See weekly graphical picture above also).
2. The team will also provide a short briefing covering their project management plan.
3. Submit a MS Word Doc – Use and include all knowledge management elements in PMBOK for the Project Management Plan. The project management plan must contain the 10 knowledge management areas:  Integration (the Project Management Plan Overview), Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Communication, Human Resources, Procurement, Risk, Stakeholder.  You should identify what and how you plan to handle each element in  a 1-2 page narrative. You should use tables or graphics also to substantiate.
4. Include the Risk Management Plan, Project Charter, and WBS you already developed in the appropriate sections of the Project Management Plan. You will want to ensure your paper describes each area as is appropriate for the Project Management Plan and then if you wish, add an appendix reflecting the original charter, etc.  Specifically, you must ensure your plan specifically identifies the knowledge area and how it relates to your project even when adding the previous docs to appendices.  Do not simply write “see appendix xx”.  Do not assume the Project Charter, WBS, etc. completely fulfills the Project Management Plan for Time, Scope, etc.
