This page outlines the main documents used during the project. Although other supporting documents such as journals and emails are not defined here, they should not be treated as any less important.
The
first support document your team will obtain is the Client
Request. The Client request
provides your team with the starting point to analyze the problem
and begin to design a solution that will be presented in a Project Description
Package. These cover two of the project phases and demonstrate TCM Assessment
outcomes.
The Client Request and interviews with the Client and company will allow you to analyze the problem, define a solution, refine your Learning contracts, prepare a WBS, and develop a project management file. The first steps from the Client Request to the Project Description and WBS are shown to the right (Figure1: First Steps in Support Documents). Click on the figure to enlarge.
Once you have your Project Description and WBS nailed down to the best of your abilities, you will finish producing your project management file. The relationship between the Project Description, WBS, and Project Management File are shown below (Figure 2: Second Steps in Support Documents). Click on the figure to enlarge.
The main documents support tracking and management
of the Project Implementation Phase. The main documents used for
reporting are the Project Status Report and the Project Management File. The Project Status
Reports must be concise and well organized. They provide the
Project Coordinator with the right information about the project
status. The relationship between the Project Status Report and
the Project Management File is show to the right (Figure 3:
