Diagram #0002   Basic Project Management - 5 Step Technique

 

 

 

 

Below is the automatic, integrated, corresponding outline created by Inspiration® software.

BASIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT - 5 STEPS TECHNIQUE
(Starting with conventional problem-solution perspective)

 

  1. DEFINE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY PROJECT
    1. Think about and visualize desired end result.
    2. Anticipate project's impact
      1. Quantify Expected Changes:
        What will be different? Facts...Figures...Observations...
      2. Describe sensory evidence of changes where applicable
        What will I / We: See...? hear...? touch...? taste...? smell?
      3. Define exact needs being satisfied by the project
  2. BRAINSTORM SOLUTION OPTIONS
    1. Select Best-Possible Solution
  3. PLAN THE PROJECT Planning involves answering questions -
    1. What must be done?
    2. Who will do it?
    3. How will it be done
    4. When must it be done?
    5. How much
      will it cost?
    6. What do we need to do it?
  4. EXECUTE THE PLAN
    1. Once created, plans must be made to happen! Plans can become dynamic living blueprints for success. In the real world, unfortunately, plans disintegrate into dead documents, gathering dust between intermittent reincarnation sessions.
  5. MONITOR CONTROL PROGRESS

    1. CHECKLISTS
    2. TARGETS
    3. SCHEDULING
    4. MILESTONES
    5. DEADLINES
    6. PERFORMANCE
    7. RESOURCES
  6. COMPLETE THE PROJECT
    1. CLOSING AUDIT
      1. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
      2. CHALLENGES
      3. OPPORTUNITIES
      4. LESSONS LEARNED
  7. MONITOR CONTROL PROGRESS Some areas of supervision and control, in no particular order.
    1. MODIFICATIONS
    2. CONTINGENCY PLANS
    3. OBSTACLES
    4. COMMUNICATION
    5. RELATIONSHIPS
    6. DELIVERY
  8. Miscellaneous Thoughts
    1. CALIBRATION N.B: the above diagram was created to demonstrate how Inspiration® software can
      be utilized to transform readily available textbook knowledge into effective information
      graphics designed to facilitate collaborative, strategic transitions. This particular diagram
      provides a brief overview of some of the more obvious actions involved in managing a project.

      More detailed information resources available to registered Strategic Transitions Clients.
    2. In today's fast-paced environments, thinking skills for comprehending and communicating information quickly are critical.
      Use Inspiration® to create "information graphics" that effectively convey comprehensive information quickly. Each window
      has its own bottomless note pad and that the complete diagram also exists as a corresponding outline.
