Project management methodology including planning

Description:

The image depicts a PowerPoint slide outlining a project management methodology, including various stages and their corresponding purposes and activities. Each stage—Intake, Initiate, Plan, Monitor & Control, Execute, Transition, and Close—is represented by a circular icon and is linked in a linear sequence, suggesting the flow of activities from one phase to the next.

1. For the "Intake" phase, the purpose is to request approval for a project, and associated activities include liaising with a project sponsor and submitting a project proposal.

2. In the "Initiate" stage, the purpose is to assign a project manager (PM), define requirements, and develop a preliminary project charter. Artifacts include business requirements documentation.

3. The "Plan" phase involves refining the project scope and requirements, and delivering solutions. Activities include identifying the project team and conducting a kick-off meeting.

4. "Monitor & Control" pertains to enacting the plan, completing analysis and design, and developing solutions, with associated activities like baselining the project plan.

5. For "Execute," the slide mentions enacting the plan, completing analysis and design, and developing solutions, with actions such as architectural and functional design specs.

6. The "Transition" phase is about conducting testing, training, and releasing the product into production, involving quality assurance plans and test plan execution.

7. Finally, the "Close" phase's purpose is to deliver the product to supporting operations and formally close the project. This includes transitioning to supporting operations.
