My Project Name

This paragraph is an introduction to the rest of the paper. It should provide the reader of a

brief overview of the subsequent paragraphs. My paper is about XYZ….The project purpose and

goals should be a part of the intro.

Project Type

What type of project is being conducted?

Project Selection Method/Criteria

How did you select your project? Was there a criterion?

Organizational Strategy

What is the organizational strategic goals/vision/objective that this project supports? How

does it support it? What are the benefits?

Project Structure

What structure is used in the organization for project management (matrix, functional,

projectized? How is the project team structure? What stakeholders are directly affecting the

project team (use dotted lines to connect the project team to those critical stakeholders)? Why do

you have an organization chart and what is its purpose? How does team selection fit into the

PDSA and DMAIC? Selection of team members. A detailed explanation of how many team

members will be needed and how they will be developed into a high performing project team is

required. Quality tools should be applied. The quality tools can be attached as an appendix to

your term paper. In Figure 1, explain the org chart.

Project Charter

Explain the purpose of the charter and how it benefits the project. How does the project

charter fit into the PDSA and DMAIC. A project charter needs to be developed. Again quality

tools should be applied, such as an FMEA or HOQ linking the project to an overall strategy.

Note: It is not important that the actual FMEA be performed, but a form and the elements that

support performing the FMEA need to be included. In Figure 2, explain the project charter.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

Explain the purpose of the WBS what the benefits are. How does the WBS fit into the

PDSA and DMAIC? In Figure 3, explain the WBS.

Figure 3

Work Breakdown Structure

Responsibility Matrix

Explain the purpose of the responsibility matrix and how it benefits the project. In Figure

4, explain the responsibility matrix.

Figure 4

Responsibility Matrix

Communication Plan

Explain the purpose of the communication plan and how it benefits the project. In Figure

5, explain the communication plan.

Communication Plan
MY PROJECT NAME 7

Project Budget and Cost Management

Explain the translation of project estimates into the budget. Explain the purpose of the

project budget and how it benefits the project. How does the project budget fit into the PDSA

and DMAIC? In Figure 6, explain the project budget.

Figure 6

Project Budget

Project Schedule and Duration Reduction

Explain the translation of project estimates into the schedule. Explain the purpose of the

project schedule and how it benefits the project. How does the project schedule fit into the PDSA

and DMAIC? In Figure 7, explain the schedule.

Project Schedule

House of Quality (HOQ)

Explain the purpose of the HOQ. Identify the Critical to Quality (CTQ) elements for the

project. In Figure 8, explain the HOQ and the benefits for the project.

House of Quality

Insert HOQ Chart Here

Performance Measurement and Evaluation

Explain the translation of project cost and schedule baselines to earned value

management techniques. Explain the purpose of the project performance measurement and

evaluation and how it benefits the project. How does the project performance and evaluation fit

into the PDSA and DMAIC? In Figure 9, explain the schedule.

Final Project Status Report (PSR)

Provide detailed description of the project’s progress from a cost, schedule, and risk

management perspective.

Earned Value Performance

Project Closure

The project Closure Criteria that references what must be satisfied to complete/deliver the

project to the customers' satisfaction.

Lessons Learned

Explain in detail in detail a lessons learned summation of your intended results. This

explanation requires more than “project completion of time and within budget.” These results are

not negotiable! What benefits will the ultimate “customer” realize from a successful project?
