Before the July 23 Project Leaders' meeting, I was considering the parallels
in the deliverables needed at the beginning of a project and at the
beginning of a service. In both cases, there is a document which reflects
negotiation and agreement which marks the beginning of the work that will be
done. I think it is useful for us to consider being somewhat formal about
writing and signing these documents to structure our work together.
At the beginning of a project, we need
Scope Statement
Justification
Product Description
Deliverables
Success Criteria
Signoff: Delivery Director, Practice Director, Project Leader
Similarly, at the beginning of a service, we need
Service Agreement
Service Description
Customer Description
Level of Service
Maintenance Plan
Service Metrics
Signoff: Service Director, Practice Director, Service Team Leader
