Part One: Document the project’s MOV - Measurable Organisational Value



(This is the goal of the project and is utilised to define the value that your team project will bring to your client)


• Identify the desired area of impact - Rank the following areas in terms of importance: Strategy / Customer / Financial / Operational / Social


•  With reference to your project, identify one or two of the following types of value:


A. Better - is improving quality important to your client?


B. Faster - does your client want to increase efficiency?


C. Cheaper - is cutting costs important?


 D. Do more - does your client want to continue its growth?


• Develop an appropriate metric - this sets the target and expectation of all the stakeholders. It is important to determine a quantitative target that needs to be expressed as a metric in terms of an increase or decrease of money.


• Determine the timeframe for achieving the MOV - ask yourselves, when do we want to achieve this target metric?


 •  Summarise the MOV in a clear concise statement or table


(Note: the MOV should inform everyone what the project will achieve, not how it will be achieved. It should also focus on the organisation, not on the technology that will be used to build or support the information system).


Part Two: Stakeholder management plan


 Identify all stakeholders to the project and develop a stakeholder register and an appropriate stakeholder management strategy.


Part Three: Communication Plan


Using the stakeholder register and stakeholder management strategy, develop a detailed communication plan.

b. Develop a closure checklist that the project team will use to ensure that the project has been closed properly.


c. Develop a project evaluation outline and discuss how your project’s MOV will be evaluated.





Part Five:  Reflection (500 Words)


 Write a brief reflection of no more than 500 words of your team work experience in this subject or a place where you have worked. To guide your reflection you should address the following questions:
