Management Approach

Resource Management

<Determine the list of project participants, including their roles and responsibilities, and the name of each person who will be fulfilling each role. As a minimum, you will need to define the Project Sponsor and/or stakeholders, Project Manager, and Project Point of Contact.
In addition you may have one or more of the following parties in your project structure: Project Team, Reference Groups, Working Groups, and Consultants. If these participants are critical to your project, please list them as well.>

The following table identifies key project members who will contribute to the planning and execution of this project.

Communication Management

<Provide a summary of the overall key communication and management issues for the project, concentrating on what will contribute to the project's success or where a lack of communication can lead to failure. Modify the example as needed for your project.>

The following strategies have been established to promote effective communication within this project.

1. The Project Manager will present project status to the Project Sponsors on a monthly basis; however, ad hoc meetings will be established at the Project Manager's discretion as issues or changes arise.
2. The Project Manager will provide written meeting minutes for all meetings relevant to the project and distribute to attendees, and to other participants upon request.
3. The Project Sponsors will be notified via e-mail of all urgent issues. Issue notification will include a description of the issue, time constraints, possible impacts, and resolutions if proposed.
4. The Project Team will have weekly update/status meetings to review completed tasks and determine current work priorities. Minutes will be produced for all meetings.
5. All electronic Project Documents will be maintained by the Project Manager and stored for reference in the project Wiki.

Risk Management

<A risk analysis should be undertaken upon commencement of the project and regularly reviewed throughout the project life cycle.

Include a summary of the major risks, mitigation strategies, estimated additional costs to deploy the strategies (these should be included in the budget) and an overall assessment as to the level of risk associated with the project. Also discuss how risks will be managed in relation to risk identification, reviews, and reporting.>

Risks will be determined during initial planning for the project.
