ProjecIf you don’t get requirements right in the beginning, you won’t get the solution right at the end. Functional/specication workshops are still some of the best ways to obtain requirements for a business system, says Joanna Perahia, Vice President of Systemic Solutions, Inc.Before you begin gathering requirements, develop a high-level view of the system and, from that, identify all the business departments involved. Then, hold requirements workshops and include everyone who has any connection to the function or process being revamped. The goal of the workshops is to obtain not only the requirements for the new endeavor but also the buy-in of all those departments.To make sure the business people get their requirements out, use a meeting facilitator who is experienced on the business side. Consider holding separate sessions for managers and staff so everyone feels comfortable sharing their information. Otherwise, you won’t obtain all the information you need. For IT projects, IT representatives attend the requirements sessions, but they don’t participate in the discussion. The workshops are their chance to hear what the business side needs, not the time to hash out a solution.As with any meeting, develop a specic agenda for each session. In addition, run the sessions as if they were outside seminars. If possible, conduct them away from the ofce and ask attendees to silence their mobile phones and pagers. Ms. Perahia also recommends conducting requirements sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. On Mondays and Fridays, people are distracted by the weekend past or coming up. Finally, before you complete the requirements sessions, get signoff from the stakeholders so you can move to the next phase.Deliverables are the results the project has to deliver in order for the customer to say the project is complete. Deliverables aren’t always as concrete as concrete foundations, but they have one thing in common: you can tell whether they’ve been delivered. If a deliverable is a tangible result, you can pick it up or look at it. A deliverable such as a new service isn’t something you can touch. The true deliverable in this case is that the new service is available for customers to use. is a project, andforSuccessfulProject Manage-ment, I was fortunate to work with a team that has the can-do attitude that every project manager dreams of.My thanks go to Kenyon Brown, the acquisitions andproject editor, who shepherded the manuscript through several iterations; Nancy Sixsmith, the copy editor; Sumita Mukherji, the production manager; and Angela Howard, the indexer, for polishing the manuscript to the pages you’re reading now.I also want to thank the reviewers who made sure that I was clear; provided useful information; and, most important, didn’t make things up. For sharing his uncanny projectmanagement sense as well as his sense of humor, I thank my friend, Bob McGannon. I also thank Ciprian Rusen for his thorough techni-cal review and valuable suggestions.In this edition of the book, I have included best practices generously offered by project managers from a variety of industries. I learned a lot from their experiences and suggestions, and, even better, have made some new friends.

One sign that a project went well is when the customer signs off on the projectand writes the nal check for payment. You also have to evaluate how well the entire process went. Capturing lessons learned is an impor-tant but often ignored step at the end of a project. The project team meets to document what went well, what did not go well, the reasons for success or fail-ure, and what could be done differently the next time a similar project comes up. With those insights, you can nd ways to improve how you manage projects and achieve success more easily on future projects.A project has a set of objectives, a start and end, and a budget. The purpose of project management is to achieve the project objectives on time and within budget. In reality, project management is an ongoing task of balancing the scope against time, cost, qual-ity, and any other constraints placed on the project.
