Where to cut In my post, following a thread created by Craig Brown and developed by Glen Allen, I closed it confessing my difficult to offer a clean definition of what can be defined as “done”. In my mind there is the “Prince2” definition that sounds: “Everything that has passed the tests based on stately accepted [...] Titanic in dock Thanks Craig. You got right about the need for frequent and more specialized controls. By the way, originally “milestones” (in the Roman roads) were set every mile (0.91% of the Imperial mile). Every day-long leg (15-18 miles) there were structures serving both passengers (divided by categories) and animals. An interesting point was that [...] Like squirrels, reserves are essential Risks (negative and Opportunities as positive) are occurrences of an event that would modify the project’s outcome. Only when the hypothetical course has been set, it is reasonable to evaluate the possible events that will have an impact on the output. Which are the risks’ sources? Each “Option” has different risks. [...] The estimation of required efforts is the first (and one of the most important) indicator of the team [...] Statue of Liberty structure The project manager is called in for executing a decision taken by the sponsors. The success (respecting the agreed time and budget) depends on whether he/she has enough power (and ability), to act within clearly established boundaries, or suffer from the inability to manage the requests for changes. The only possible way [...] Controls are structured data. They shall be devised to report a specific situation that could influence the output. Therefore reducing the project’s opportunities For their intrinsic nature, they shall be based on an unbiased communication system that collects the information necessary for evaluating the results of the spent efforts on a specific task. Juggling with risks Controls are set to reduce risks This sheds a different light on this matter. At least this introduces logic for setting procedures that cost and, if not properly set, hamper the production. |
