So, while the Sub-sub-task level can seem as minutiae, it provides the definition needed <br /> and helps to answer the "interrogatives". <br /> This information is useful to the study managers and partners for accurately costing, <br /> scheduling, and assigning work -and later in measuring and crediting earned value <br /> (progress). <br /> Obviously, some professional judgment must be used by all of us, as partners, to decide <br /> the proper level of detail, and we'll have to work out how to most usefully format/present <br /> the detail. <br /> SCOPE OF STUDIES CHECKLIST <br /> This checklist might serve us as an aid to determine whether the task-specific scope of <br /> studies of our PMP covers all the bases. If at the end we can answer these questions, our <br /> SOS will represent a fully formulated plan of study and readily enable us to plug together <br /> the other work items comprising the PMP: <br /> 1. What are the major products and sub-products that will be produced during the <br /> feasibility phase? <br /> 2. What tasks and subtasks are required for the study in order to produce the <br /> products? <br /> 3. Why is each task necessary? <br /> 4. Who will accomplish each task? <br /> 5. When will the task be accomplished? <br /> 6. How critical is the task to the analysis? <br /> 7. How sensitive is the information needed for the task? <br /> 8. How will the task be accomplished? <br /> 9. What methods will be used to accomplish the task? <br /> 10. What information is required to accomplish each task? <br /> 11. What information is available? <br /> 12. What information will need to be collected or derived? <br /> 13. How much time and money should be devoted to each task? <br /> 14. What supporting documentation and guidance will be referred to during the <br /> fulfillment of the work effort? <br /> FINALLY (whew!) <br /> We'll worry about the other seven components of the PMP once we have a scope <br /> roughed out. <br /> SOME PMP EXAMPLES ARE COMING UNDER SEPARATE COVER... <br /> A couple of examples of good PMPs will be provided -each is set up a little differently. <br /> <br /> For illustrative purposes each breaks down the work into manageable pieces and covers <br /> all the disciplines. These are provided in order to facilitate discussion of the desired level. <br /> of detail we need, and to give our local. partners a good idea of the array of things we <br /> <br /> need to scope and what the final PMP for our study may look like. <br /> That's all for "PMP 101 <br /> <br />
