  9. Initiation Stage • Define the project in terms of goals, time, resources and sponsorship. • The project manager should negotiate improvements to the project charter until it provides the guidance and organizational commitment needed to, in the project manager's view, make the project a success.

  10. Planning Stage • Resource Planning • Work Breakdown Structure • Project Schedule Development • Configuration Management Plan • Quality Assurance Plan • Production Support Plan • Service Level Agreement • System Design

  11. Execution Stage • Processes used to complete the work defined in the PMP • Coordinating resources • Integrating and performing activities of the project

  12. Monitoring and Controlling • A project schedule empowers a Project Manager to: • Manage the time, cost, and resources of the project • Assess the progress of the project against the baseline • Assess and communicate the impact of issues and change management • Forecast and what-if scenarios

  13. Closing Stage • Contractual Closeout • Post Production Transition • Lessons Learned

  14. Why do projects fail? • Scope creep • Poor requirements gathering • No Functional input in planning • Lack of sponsorship • Unrealistic planning and scheduling/Impossible schedule commitments • Lack of resources • Communication • Procurement Issues
