Health Systems Troubled Project Analysis Recovery Project Analyze all information provided for the Health Systems Troubled Project. Prepare a report of the scope, cost, quality planning, schedule planning, risk planning, and risk control.
The detailed guidelines for what should be included in your report are outlined below. In addition, you will need to update the MS Project file and use it to generate documents which support your ideas.
The report should include the following:
- Recovery Project Scope Planning: Establish the recovery project scope plan and controls. What are the business requirements? What are the system requirements (software and hardware)? In establishing your project scope plan, you might consider these aspects:
- Requirements (requirements traceability matrix)
- Existing work breakdown structure
- A person responsible for each requirement (responsibility assignment matrix)
- Recovery Project Cost Planning and Control: Establish a recovery cost control plan with strategies to help maintain the prospective value of the new project with respect to expected expenditures and added business values. As you are developing your cost control plan, you could consider aspects such as these:
- The cost-benefit analysis
- The TCO
- Budgeted vs. actual costs
- The earned value of the recovery project
- Recovery Project Quality Planning: Craft a recovery plan for ensuring the quality of the recovery project outcomes that identifies acceptable performance standards and recommended recovery strategy. Ideas to consider may include:
- Key performance indicators of quality
- Important factors in defining quality
- How to measure quality
- Recovery Project Schedule Planning: Using MS Project, develop a comprehensive recovery project schedule plan outlining completion dates, tasks, and relevant milestones. You should include all relevant artifacts that pertain to scheduling aspects of the project plan. In your project schedule plan, you could consider:
- Appropriate task dependencies and constraints
- The mix of task relationships (SS, FF, SF, FS)
- Duration of each task
- Planned vs. actual dates
- Recovery Project Risk Planning: Craft a recovery plan for identifying and monitoring risk. In your recovery plan, you could consider:
- The amount of uncertainty in the project and how to deal with it
- The threats of greatest concern
- How each threat should be dealt with
- Recovery Risk Control: Determine corrective actions and controls to deal with uncertainty and its impact on the project, based on your risk plan. Ideas to consider may include:
- Appropriate quantification of the risks (probability vs. impact)
- Contingency funding or time buffers in place to handle threats
