PM Tool 1 – Project Assignment • High level summary of the project design what is inside and outside of the project boundary • Often only rough estimations possible • Basis for detailed project design in the project start phase
PM Tool 2 - Project Objectives Plan • „Objective“: A desired future state which should be achieved by the project • Ensurance of holistic project view • Consideration of all closely coupled objectives • Priortization of the objectives, non-objectives • Operationalization of objectives to assure that reaching the objective can be measured at the project end
PM Tool 3 – Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) • Hierarchical depiction of the project scope • Systematic gathering of all required project tasks • Phase-oriented structure recommended • Segmentation of the scope into sub-units, so called work packages, which can be planned and controlled
PM Tool 4 – Milestone Plan • 6-9 milestones per project which show important events to be reached within the project • 2 standard milestones • Project assigned • Project approved • Event-oriented definition of the milestones • Scheduling by assigning dates to milestones
Tool 5 – Project Organization Chart • Presentation of roles (and communication structures), not persons • A communication instrument • Symbolic project management • The chart is an artefact of the project culture • Boxes or bubbles, size of boxes, shadows behind boxes, ... • Quality standards: Date, version, responsible person • Adaption over time, as the project evolves
