Contents • Project Management in short • Basic Elements • Qualities of a PM tool: authoring • Qualities of a PM tool: browsing • Considered Tools: GDPM-MSP-Xproject-PPT • Conclusions • References: General, LHC Resouce Mgt Tools Miguel Marquina
PM in short • where are we today/going in the end understand/define the goal(s) to achieve Assess/state present situation • how do we arrive Monitor/review goals/milestones/deliverables • when do we arrive Monitor/review schedules/deadlines/delays • who is who understand/define roles, partnerships, contribution methods Resouce Mgt Tools Miguel Marquina
Basic elements • Planning: goals and milestones • Tracking: tasks, schedules and deadlines on deliverables • Inter-relationships: roles, peers • Resourcing: human/financial • Communication: reviews, reports, negotiations Resouce Mgt Tools Miguel Marquina
Qualities of a PM tool: authoring • Maintain the inter-dependence between the different elements (PBS, OBS, WBS) • enable maintenance by different authors at different levels of ownership/responsibility • Follow-up: e.g. deadline triggers, contingency paths • Reporting: data projections according to needs • Logging/tracking, import/export Resouce Mgt Tools Miguel Marquina
Qualities of a PM tool: browsing • Granularity in browsing levels (PM, “office”, internal/site/external partners) • Communication/Feedback channel(s) Resouce Mgt Tools Miguel Marquina

Conclusions • Preference for “freeware” tools (enable to share across sites/labs/US+EU) • “in-house” (HEP) development may be useful (match/taylor to project needs), resourcing? Choosing may in the end be determined by LHCexp-wide adoption Resouce Mgt Tools Miguel Marquina
