Best Practice Project Management and Consultancy Video Podcast- Episode 8
Episode 8 - - In this week’s episode we explores the power of project deliverables.
A project deliverable is best described as defining an entity to measure.
For example, a client wishes to move from one building to another.
Once the client allocates a project manager to oversee the move, of the first things a project manager will do is define a scope of work and also perform an audit of the existing location.
Q: How will the client know if a good and effective audit has taken place?
A: By taking a project deliverable approach, the audit can be defined as a report. This report will have an associated starting scope and a set of measures, for example:
1. Time - When will it be delivered
2. Cost - How much will the said work take to complete / what will be the release schedule (draft, internal, external, external final)
3. Reliability - How well did the resources assigned perform.
4. Resilience - How extensive was the audit.
5. Scope - Was the audit sufficient in terms of original definition of work required.
Using project deliverables across key parts of stages can provide a quality approach to a project.
