Project Goals
A project is successful when the needs of the stakeholders have been met. It is important to identify the stakeholders in your project.
Examples of stakeholders:
- The project sponsor.
- The customer who receives the deliverable.
- The users of the project outputs.
- The project manager and project team.
Project Deliverables
Using goals you have defined, create a list of things the project needs to deliver in order to meet those goals. Tell when and how each item must be delivered. Add the deliverable to the project plan with an estimated delivery date.
Project Schedule
Create a list of tasks that need to be carried out for each deliverable identified.
For each task identify the following:
- The amount of effort (hours or days) required to complete the task.
- The resource who will carryout the task.
