Managing the Migration Process |
The Master Project Plan, which is basically a blueprint to follow throughout the project, includes all of the detailed plans contributed by each functional area of the project: Product Management, Program Management, Development, Test, User Education, and Logistics. Developing this plan prompts the team to consider all of the resources that must be assembled in advance, and alerts the team to potential pitfalls to avoid. A good plan steers the migration process, helping keep staff on schedule and on task, and the project within budget.
For developing your project plan, you can use the “Project Plan Template” in the ProjPlan.doc file on the Resource Kit companion CD.
