| The purpose of this discipline is to: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Keep the team focused on continually delivering tested software product for stakeholder evaluation |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Help prioritize the sequence of work |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Help create an effective working environment to maximize team productivity |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Keep stakeholders and the team informed on project progress |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Provide a framework to manage project risk and continually adapt to change |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Project management acts as a bridge between the stakeholders and the development team. It is important that project |
| management activities add value to creating a high performance work environment where |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Stakeholders have confidence in the team’s ability to successfully deliver value and understand the capabilities |
| and tradeoffs of the technical platform |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Project team members understand stakeholder intentions and confirm that understanding by continually producing a |
| working software product for evaluation |
| </li> |
| </ul> |

| for the project. This project plan describes the lengths and objectives of the four <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../base_concepts/guidances/concepts/phase,__7xOEC7aEdqHMdmRzC0-2g.html" guid="__7xOEC7aEdqHMdmRzC0-2g">Phases</a> and the <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/guidances/concepts/iteration,_lam4ADkBEduxovfWMDsntw.html" guid="_lam4ADkBEduxovfWMDsntw">Iterations</a> within each phase. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| At the beginning of each iteration, the project manager works with stakeholders and the development team to prioritize |
| requirements, change requests, and defects in the <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/workproducts/work_items_list,_rGNWsCbSEdqh1LYUOGRh2A.html" guid="_rGNWsCbSEdqh1LYUOGRh2A">Work Item List</a> and allocate them to the upcoming iteration. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The project manager then works with the development team to create a fine-grained <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/workproducts/iteration_plan,_0aQBEslgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw.html" guid="_0aQBEslgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw">Iteration Plan</a> based on the objectives in the project plan and the work items |
| assigned to the iteration. Team members volunteer to collaborate on allocated work items and provide the project |
| manager with tasks and time estimates to deliver those work items. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The team demonstrates they understand stakeholder intentions throughout each iteration by building a working software |
| product that is demonstrated to stakeholders to affirm understanding and elicit feedback. At the end of each iteration, |
| the evaluation of the final <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/workproducts/build,_0YuXEMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw.html" guid="_0YuXEMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw">Build</a> |
| must include test results and should be captured in a <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/workproducts/status_assessment,_0bA2EMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw.html" guid="_0bA2EMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw">Status Assessment</a> and communicated to all stakeholders and team members. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The development team demonstrates continual progress to stakeholders by reporting closed-out work items in each |
| iteration through the <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/guidances/reports/project_burndown,_ePrt8Dj3EduxovfWMDsntw.html" guid="_ePrt8Dj3EduxovfWMDsntw">Project Burndown</a>. The team can use <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/guidances/reports/iteration_burndown,_uAzgkDg3Edu4E8ZdmlYjtA.html" guid="_uAzgkDg3Edu4E8ZdmlYjtA">Iteration Burndown</a> to demonstrate progress during an iteration. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Project management needs to consider the uncertainties facing the project (i.e. <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup_basic/guidances/concepts/risk,_0bsLgMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw.html" guid="_0bsLgMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw">Risks</a>) and pro-actively work with stakeholders and the team to continually adapt to |
| changes in business needs, system requirements, and technical capabilities. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Project Management is an umbrella discipline which has impact and is impacted by all other disciplines. |
