Two vital documents for every project Business Case Schedule
Obviously most projects have other supporting documents (user guide, design etc)
Business Case Justifies Project and states what will make the project successful Should provide list of all deliverables so scope and what has to be completed are clear Lists Constraints and Priorities Lists all Risks from which Contingency can be calculated
Shows how project will be successfully completed Must include all deliverables, constraints, priorities and contingency defined in Business Case Provides a vital communication tool on what will make the project successful When updated regularly supports good governance and tracking of your project Should be source of automated reports (up to 80% of all reporting needs)
Added Value scheduling with Microsoft Project 2010 Tips and Tricks for Microsoft Project 2010
Project Newsgroups now gone New Project Forums at: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/enUS/categories For all versions of Project, different forums for Project Client, Development and Server Great online support for all Microsoft products, see you there!
Last Conference was Phoenix 2009 Next Conference likely to be 2011 (2 year cycle) – not official, my best guess See Rod Gill’s presentation at last year’s Microsoft Project Conference in Phoenix: http://www.microsoft.com/showcase/en/us/details /d7141a18-ee7b-4e67-8893-209d2b546ce0
