Fig 3.17 CS: Project Manager day-to-day activities

• The Issue activities are:

  • Capture and examine issues and risks: Any person can raise an issue and the Project Manager must gather and review them. Reviewing also includes categorizing and assessing the impact of each issue.

  • Escalate issues and risks: If there are issues to report or if the stage is expected to go out of tolerance, then create an Exception Report and send it to the Project Board.

  • Take corrective action: Normally, Taking Corrective Action is used when extra work has to be done to solve an issue and the stage can stay within tolerance.

As you can see, we have already covered four of these in the previous slides. One final comment: These activities can be done numerous times by the Project Manager and there is no set order.

1. Sb: Managing a Stage Boundary

1. Managing a Stage Boundary and Objectives

The Managing a Stage Boundary process provides information to the Project Board about the current status of the project at the end of each stage. This process happens after all the work in the current stage plan has been completed and before the next stage can begin.

The Stage Boundary Objectives

The objectives of the “Managing a Stage Boundary” process are:

• To confirm to the Project Board which products have been produced in the current stage as documented in the stage plan, and also update the Project Plan to show what has been done so far and forecast the planning for the next stage.

• So you see, the Project Plan is a living document (kept up to date)

• To provide the Project Board with information so they can:

  • Assess the viability of the project – meaning checking that it still worth doing

  • Approve Stage Completion – which is to approve the stage (that was just done) and

  • Authorize the start of the Next Stage
