How this activity works:
Review the Roles and Responsibilities outcome chart for:
· Major issues
· Items that need further work:
§ Skills development
§ Additional backfill
§ Alternate resources (third party, higher skill level)
The result of this activity will be changes to the roles and responsibilities chart, or affirmation that former discussions were accurate.
Moving on, or in the words of that all to famous movie: Move it, move it, move it…..
How will Success be Defined?
This is the next activity for group discussions and activities.
At the conclusion of this activity the team will develop the five to ten performance measures that they will recommend to management as the criteria by which this project will be measured. These measurements should support the project’s objectives and provide high level direction to all project activities and tasks.
How this activity works:
This activity is done as a single group. The group will discuss which factors are critical to the success of the project. Using the 10 to 15 factors that were developed in the discussion, have the team evaluate the pros and cons of each of the proposed measurements.
The team needs to explore the possibility that for any existing project measure its value may be different now than it was when it was first used due to changing business conditions.
Once the initial performance measures have been compiled in a list, the activity leader will give each person a copy of the compiled list.
Each team member will rank the performance measures as to its importance to the company. Once everyone has completed the activity, the totals and averages should be calculated for each measurement. The top five become the team’s performance measurements. Then ask the team how they feel about the top five as it relates to their own function and provide opportunities for small group and large group discussion. Each team member should be prepared to rank the team’s priorities and to establish how that fits with their priorities for the project or the priorities of their department. Ask each team member to discuss how the measurements will relate to their function on the team, and in the organization.
What will a deliverable look like?
