...Section 4 Project Execution Phase 4.1 Project Execution Phase Overview Once a project moves into the Execution Phase, the project team and the necessary resources to carry out the project should be in place and ready to perform project activities. The Project Plan should have been completed and baselined by this time as well. The project team and specifically the Project Manager’s focus now shifts from planning the project efforts to participating in, observing, and analyzing the work being done. Figure 4.1.1 shows where in the Project Management the Execution Phase occurs. Figure 4.1.1 Project Management Execution Phase Project Manager’s Responsibilities A Project Manager’s responsibilities do not stop once the planning of the project is done. Because a Project Manager is responsible to internal and external stakeholders, the project team, vendors, executive management, etc. the visibility of the position is intensified. Many of these Project Management Methodology 4-1 Section 4 Project Execution Phase people will now expect to see and discuss the resulting deliverables that were so meticulously detailed in the Planning Phase. As a Project Manager, keeping oneself from getting “down in the weeds,” especially on large projects, will be important during project execution. This will allow the Project Manager to focus their attention on enabling the project plans, processes and managing the expectations of customers and stakeholders. Particular attention during...

...Managing a Testing Project: (A White Paper) A White Paper Page 1 of 20 Vinod Kumar Suvarna IBM, Bangalore A White Paper Introduction Testing is expected to consume 30 – 50 % of the Project Effort, Still properly managing testing project is not considered seriously. Project Managers always undermine the impact the testing activity has on the Project Cost and Schedule. Hence the testing activity is usually unplanned and uncontrollable. As the project manager assumes that the main focus of the testing activity in the project is not to meet the project schedule. But Its is a reality that a thorough and close monitoring of the Testing project is required to increase productivity, reduce cycle -time and improve quality. Below pie chart depicts the Project effort distribution by phase for a development project, where independent testing team performs the testing activity.

...[pic] Financial Management Process© For [Project Name] 1 Introduction The Project Financial Management Process is followed after the initial project budget has been documented and approved during the Project Initiation phase of the Project Management Life Cycle. What is a Financial Management Process? A Financial Management Process is a method by which costs (or expenses) incurred on the project are formally identified, approved and paid. Typical types of costs include: • Labor (e.g. staff, external suppliers, contractors and consultants) • Equipment (e.g. computers, furniture, building facilities, machinery and vehicles) • Materials (e.g. stationery, consumables, building materials, water and power) • Administration (e.g. legal, insurance, lending and accounting fees). © When to use a Financial Management Process The Financial Management Process should be initiated after the expected Financial Expense Form has been created and approved during the Planning phase of the project. This process provides a mechanism for monitoring and controlling the actual financials of the project against those that were originally planned/budgeted. It important to formally track expenses throughout all phases of the project, otherwise, it may become impossible to accurately manage the project constraints of time, budget and quality. 1.1 Instructions Complete all sections of this form.

... each with a different ELT member. The results of a new prioritization process—a list of IT projects that would be funded in 2004—had been unveiled only a few days earlier. But already a storm was gathering. The phone calls from other executives had common themes. All the callers had expressed concern that high priorities for their areas of the company had not been funded. Some had repeated views expressed during the prioritization process by people who worked for them about supposed categorization mistakes that penalized their business units. And each of the calls had concluded with an informal request to insert an unfunded project (or two) into the IT department’s work plans. “We don’t have to reopen the process,” the most recent caller had said, “but perhaps spare capacity might be applied to make some progress on this project in 2004—we’ve done this before, and it would mean a lot to our area and to the company’s growth plans.” The 10 business units that made up VWoA had proposed more than 40 projects, with funding requirements totaling $210 million (US). A budget of only $60 million (an amount capped by VWAG, the parent company of VWoA) made some degree of disappointment inevitable. But the intensity of pushback against the new process was surprising. The ELT had endorsed the idea of improving upon the old way these decisions were made, via unstructured debate among executive sponsors. The new process, it was agreed, would...
