1. Introduction

There is an assumption from the team at CER1projectmanagement that the readers of this companion
are working as and have a fundamental understanding of Project Management and know how to use
the available tools to develop schedules.
Project Management is a discipline that looks at the nature of projects and offers ways to control their
progress. Project Management attempts to organize and systematize the procedures in a project to
minimize the number of surprises you encounter.
Project Management and project managers concern themselves with certain key areas;
Scheduling
Budgeting
Managing resources
Tracking and reporting progress
To manage these aspects of projects, certain tools have evolved over years. Some of these are
conceptual, like the critical path; others involve specific formats for charting progress, like Gantt charts.
The Project Management Companion is to provide project managers with the key information to assist
with the existing concepts and tools.
This Project Management Companion contains real world successfully completed Project Schedules
and task lists. The contents of the Gantt Charts found within this document are to assist you when
developing your projects and to provide each Project Manager an indicative understanding of the
tasks, their duration and work effort while planning.
There are approximately 12 different types of projects represented within the Project Management
Companion, which cover the broad spectrum of infrastructure and application related projects, from
LAN Refresh Projects to Data Centre Builds and most projects in-between. Not all of the projects
covered have a task list associated with it, the task lists may change dependant on your project and
are to be used as guides when developing the project schedule.
The PM Companion also covers the necessary project life cycle delivery steps, this is to provide the
Project Manager with a broad understanding of the steps involved when working on a project, and are
complementary to CER1projectmanagement Templates.
Often as Project Managers we are requested to deliver or work on projects which are foreign to us,
and finding a starting point can be a task of its own, the intention of the PM Companion is to assist you
with your starting point, cover the required project tasks and assist you with delivering your project
successfully.
Most projects will have their own specific requirements which can be added to the broad tasks
provided by the PM Companion. These are not templates but actual Gantt Charts of many varied and
complex projects completed by the CER1projectmanagement Team over many years in the practice,
who understand that time on projects is precious and any assistance of this nature is invaluable.
The team at CER1projectmanagement wish you all the very best in delivering your projects to scope,
on time, without conflict and within budget, and believe the PM Companion can help you get there.

2. Project Delivery Steps
There are approximately 5 stages in all during a projects life cycle made up of the following;

2.1. Scope the Project
NOTE: this is essentially meeting with the customer and discussing with a view of finalising the
projects deliverable, the scope of the project. During any major project this is more than likely to
change (scope creep), dont be afraid this is common, just make sure you have a record of it (a
checklist is good to maintain from the start of the project I find you can use this at the start as a
summary of what is being delivered, and then use at the end of the project to match what has
actually been delivered. If the Scope is not accurate from the beginning then you will have a
difficult time in delivering the project to your customers expectation, so be extra careful here, dont
be afraid to include your customer in every step during this processdont assume anything.
Produce a Statement of Work (SOW) outlining the following;
o Project Overview and scope
General Summary of Project
The discussed/considered solution options
o The Projects deliverables
The Proposed Solution
Deliverables
Each teams Responsibilities
High Level Project Milestones
Dependencies
High Level Risks and Mitigation
Assumption of parties involved includes any third parties
Exclusions
o High Level Project Costs
o SOW acceptance
o Project Acceptance Criteria
o Bill of Materials if one is required
o High level design if one is required.
Establish Budget

2.2. Develop the Project Plan
NOTE: Depending on the size of the project you may not need to create a Gantt Chart unless
specifically asked by the customer, normally simple projects, of an amount less than $10,000.00
may not need the same stringent process as a project of over $50,000.00, this is entirely up to
you, and your comfort zone, and the requirement of your customer.
o Outline the steps/activities of the project (via Gantt Chart or Spreadsheet)
NOTE: This is normally an evolving document, but best to lock down as best you can, the more
complex the project the harder it will be to lock down.
o The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) will be generated from your Gantt chart which
will assist with which task your resources are spending their time on. This will be of
great benefit when billing the customer. Ensure accurate records are kept.
o Develop a Project Management Plan
Project Management Companion CER1projectmanagement

CER1projectmanagement Pty Ltd Project Management Companion Page | 6


o It will contain the detail from the SOW
o Resource Roles and Responsibilities
o Set out the frequency of meetings with the customer and Steering Committee
meetings
o Establish the Communication Plan
o Any third party involvement
o Engage the appropriate Resources
o Commence the Detailed Design if required.
o Identify and keep a risks and issues register, which includes their respective mitigation.
2.3. Socialize the Plan
o Involves all parties participating in the projects delivery
o Cover expectations of each teams involved
o Finalise the Project Plan
o Obtain customer acceptance of the Project Plan
o Commence weekly meetings (depending on the project, may require more)
o Review the Detailed Design both internally and with customer
o Rework Detailed Design if required.
o Conduct Proof Of Concept (POC) of the solution
o Obtain results of the POC and socialise with the customer, and with any third party
involved in the project.
o Once approved/accepted by all parties then move onto implementation phase
2.4. Implementation Phase
o Document the Implementation Plan
o Establish Reporting tools.
o Internal Reporting to your management
o Reporting for the customer
o Track costs/budgets
o Ensure Change Control is in place
o Meet with teams as frequently as required
o Advise customer on progress (weekly meetings, or more as required)
o Track implementation to plan (if not, then advise the customer immediately)
o Revisit plan
NOTE: Normally at this time is when scope creep occurs
o Cover implementation with project acceptance criteria and if customer is satisfied
move onto the project closure phase

2.5. Project Acceptance and Closure Phase
o Receive Customer Acceptance
o Provide completed Project Documentation
o Complete post implementation checklist
o Issue final project report
o Celebrate

3. Work Breakdown Structure
The Work Breakdown Structure is a hierarchical description of the work that must be done to complete
the project as defined in the Statement of Work or Project Charter. The Work Breakdown Structure is
essentially a series of tasks which in turn are broken into sub tasks. While the process of identifying
the tasks required for a project is conceptually simple, it is a vital step in the process since it provides
the basis for bottom-up estimation and developing a detailed project schedule. Breaking down work
into hierarchy of activities, tasks, and work packages is called decomposition. It allows the estimation
of the projects duration, determine the required resources, and schedule the work. The complete
decomposition is a criteria whose activities at the lowest levels of decomposition will possess known
properties that allow us to meet planning and scheduling needs.
There are approximately four uses for the Work Breakdown Structure that I am aware of, they are;
Thought process tool, this means that it allows the project manager and the project team to
visualise exactly how the work of the project can be defined and managed effectively.
Architectural design tool, this is a picture of the work of the project and how the items of work
are related to one another.
Planning tool, this gives the project team a detailed representation of the project as a
collection of activities that must be completed in order for the project to be completed.
Project status reporting tool, as work is completed, activities will be completed and hence the
ability to report on its status to interested stakeholders.
It is the project manager who will decide on the architecture of the Work Breakdown Structure and the
level of detail required. This is important because the project manager is accountable for the success
of the project. The Work Breakdown Structure must be defined so that the project manager can
manage the project. That means that the approach and detail in the Work Breakdown Structure might
not be the way others would have approached it. Apart from any senior management requirements for
reporting or organizational requirements for documentation or process, the project manager is free to
develop the WBS according to his or her needs and those of management. Because of this
requirement, the WBS is not unique. That should not bother you because all that is required is a WBS
that defines the project work so that you, at the project manager, can manage it.
The best way to generate the WBS is as part of the project planning session, which outline the tasks
as clearly cut activities with time duration estimates and the resources responsible for the tasks
delivery. Developing the WBS is the most critical part of the planning session, if done correctly then
the rest is relatively easy. There are six characteristics are as follows;
Status/completion is measurable
Start/end events are clearly defined
Activity has a deliverable.
Time/cost is easily estimated
Activity duration is within acceptable limits
Work assignments are independent.
If the activity does not possess these six characteristics, decompose the activity and ask the questions
again. As soon as an activity possesses the six characteristics, there is no need to further decompose
it. As soon as every activity in the WBS possesses these six characteristics, the WBS is defined as
complete.
There are so many ways to build a Work Breakdown Structure, use an approach which best utilises
your strength, whatever the approach used; the WBS can be generically represented. The goal
Project Management Companion CER1projectmanagement

CER1projectmanagement Pty Ltd Project Management Companion Page | 8


statement represents the reason for doing the project. The process of Work Breakdown or task listing
is essential for estimation because it ensures that the team understands what work has to be done.
One of the most common causes of poor estimation is simple failure to list all tasks required.

4. Project Schedules
The following project Gantt Charts are to provide you with an understanding of the different
types of projects, their related tasks and durations. They are the actual steps required to
perform, implement and complete the project.
NOTE: Most projects will have their own specific requirements which can be added to the
broad tasks provided by the PM Companion; these are not templates but actual Gantt Charts
of successfully completed projects.

5. Conclusion
The Project Management Companion encompasses many varied and complex projects conducted by
the CER1projectmanagment team, it is meant to aid but not replace project managers with the tasks,
duration and work effort required to finalise the schedule for projects ranging from;
Firewall Implementations
Data Centre Builds
Site relocation
Server Farm builds
LAN Refresh
Application implementations
And Many More.

The use of the PM Companion is to help you get started by using real world complex and successfully
delivered projects. Although you will have to refine the project schedule with your own specific
information the broad outline is covered within the tasks found in the PM Companion. The PM
Companion will assist you to create the schedule with providing;
Individual task names
Task durations
Task dependencies

To allocate and track costs on those tasks, you add certain information about resources including
Resources and their costs for both standard and overtime hours
Resources assignments to specific tasks

To track a project over its lifetime, you need to enter the following information:
Progress on tasks
Changes in task timing or dependencies
Changes in resources, that is, resources that are added to or removed from the project
Changes in resources time commitments and costs.

As mentioned previously, the team at CER1projectmanagement wish you all the very best in delivering
your projects to scope, on time, without conflict and within budget, and believe the PM Companion can
help you get there.
