Project management

This article or section is a stub. Stubs are articles that have not yet received substantial attention from the authors. They are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions to further increase the article's usefulness. The project values stubs as useful first steps toward complete articles. See Wiki workflow and Wikipedia:Stub for more details on this process. See all the stubs in Category:Stubs

Projects fail for two reasons.

• Poor scope (which leads to unmet expectations)
• Poor execution.

Projects also follow the ETVX model:

• Initiation: gather participants and exchange viewpoints (Why)
• Planning: agree on what to do and how to do it (How)
• Implementation: do it (What)
• Testing and evaluation. (When)

Using the ETVX Model can be extended or simplified(depending on the perspective)to include the following:

• (WHO) - equate to Contributors to the Project
• (WHAT) - equate to Scope of the Project Proposal
• (WHEN) - equate to Timeline Commitments during Assessment and Delivery
• (WHERE) - may equate to the location of the PM Toolset or Development Location
• (WHY) - equate to Objectives and Goals
• (HOW) - equate to either Rule of Engagement or the Method of Delivery

Project Management Checklist as initial designed for the Project Molecule: [[1]] HOW DO I INCLUDE A REFERENCE TO AN IMAGE ELSEWHERE?????????????????!!!!!!! This wiki syntax is anything but simple and is going to keep it from being a easy install for most customers. I will take FCK Editor anyday over this.

Maybe we need to set up a W5H Project Management Philosophy since people understand the Who-How concepts.
