Staffing management plan

Staffing management plan describes when and how people will be added to and taken off the project team.

For example, if an IT project is projected to need 100 people on average over a year, the staffing management plan would describe

l the types of people needed to work on the project, such as Java programmers, business analysts, technical writers, and so on,

l the number of each type of person needed each month,

l how these resources would be acquired, trained, rewarded, reassigned after the project, and so on.

The staffing management plan often includes a resource histogram, which is a column chart that shows the number of resources assigned to a project over time.

Figure 9-7 provides an example of a histogram that might be used for a six-month information technology project.

Definition of quality is based on

l conformance to requirements and

l fitness for use.

Conformance to requirements means the project's processes and products meet written specifications.

Fitness for use means a product can be used as it was intended.

5. Quality Planning

The purpose of project quality management is to ensure that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken.

The project team must develop good relationships with key stakeholders to understand what quality means to them.

Many technical projects fail because the project team focuses only on

l meeting the written requirements for the main products and

l ignores other stakeholder needs and expectations.

5. Quality Planning

Quality, therefore, must be on an equal level with project scope, time, and cost.

If a project's stakeholders are not satisfied with the quality of the resulting products, then the project team will need to adjust scope, time, and cost to satisfy the stakeholder.

Project quality management involves three main processes:
