Update Business Case: When additional information is received on a Candidate Project, obtain the pending Business Case from the repository and revise the data. This Business Case should now be reconsidered by process 1.2.
Without a clear path to follow when it comes to managing projects, the task of achieving their desired objectives would prove very difficult. Constraints such as time, resources, budgets, scope and quality are all too significant to simply pass over without applying a scientific approach. Project management provides exactly that: a scientific approach that helps to ensure successful results through structure and organisation.
Rank Candidate Projects: When requested, all Candidate Projects that are in the repository should be objectively ranked in order of significance. The ranking criteria should include Target due dates, Impact on the total business, Impact on the technology architecture, Impact on other applications, Project size, cost and duration and Project risk.
Resources are maximised: Both human and financial resources tend to be expensive. Project tracking and project risk management ensure that all resources are used efficiently and are accounted for economically.Helps to manage integration: Projects that are completed within an organisation are generally integrated with wider business processes and systems. Integration forms the value aspect of projects and their management.
