Project Setup
F. Alan Goodman · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2006
The project has one piece of data needed to extract all the process candidates as the process basis for this particular project. That one piece of data is the project start date. The others are all closest in time to that date. This method allows process improvements to go on by adding later and still later versions of any process element. That kind of process volatility just causes havoc on any project. The activity part of managers&s; process basis is almost boilerplate stuff and should take a few minutes. In the procedural how-to world, work product world, and form world, managers&s; have one more task to do to establish their process basis: select one from each selectable set. A design review for that kind of project will be very informal and pertinent to that one-person effort. Templates and work product versions are based on the project’s process basis file contents that were determined by the software project manager.
