Project Initiation & Business Case
Kickstart Your Project with beeko’s Project Initiation Tools
beeko helps you initiate the project
by auto-generating a project charter and identifying all project stakeholders. Project Purpose A project purpose statement outlines the entire project from scratch to the end,which includes items like project deliverables.
Executive Summary
Executive summaries are the only place decision-makers go to in order to determine if an action on or idea related to the project is warranted.
Project Goals
Project goal is an achievable outcome that is generally broad and long-term while an objective defines the measurable actions carried out to achieve the overall goal.
Project Information
beeko allocates a section to enter the project’s basic data.
Project Objectives
are what you plan to achieve by the end of your project. This might include deliverables and assets,or more intangible objectives like increasing productivity or motivation.
Your project objectives should be attainable, time-bound, and specific goals you can measure at the end of your project.
All objectives can be reviewed through a reported objective and also found in reports such as the ‘Organization Portfolio Report.’
Benefits Management
is an outcome of the project that is seen as a positive change by one or more stakeholders.
It must, by definition, be achievable and approved by key stakeholders. Project benefits are not deliverables.
All benefits can be reviewed through a report benefits and also found in reports such as ‘Project Charter.’
Project Update/Highlights
Project owners and admins can add status updates to projects as well as a health indicator to keep all stakeholders in the loop quickly and easily.
Updates can be found in the ‘Organization Portfolio Report.’
Project Constraints & Assumptions
- Constraints: a factor that limits team options and lays constraints on time, schedule, resources, cost, and scope.
It is entered at the project level as the first stage and entered at the WBS level as the second stage. - Assumptions: things that are assumed to be true but may not be true.
Constraints and assumptions are identified and documented at a high level during project initiation. They are refined and documented in detail
as part of the ‘Define Scope’ process in project planning.
They are central to beeko Application For Project Management processes and are used to record all assumptions and constraints throughout the project life cycle.
All constraints can be reviewed by report constraints and can also be found in reports such as the ‘Organization Portfolio Report’ & the ‘Project Charter.’
All assumptions can be reviewed by report assumptions and can also be found in reports such as the ‘Organization Portfolio Report’ & the ‘Project Charter.’
The project also includes the following functions/features:
Project time – Project cost – Project stakeholders – Project organization –Gantt view – Constraints – Deliverables – Scope – Requirements – Change log –
Lessons learned – Project risk log – Issue log – Project assumptions – WBS – Reporting & Documents.
