Analysis and PlanningAnalysis and planning is the first project phase. It begins with development of an initial project plan that will both guide early analysis and planning activities, and plan for future project phases. The initial project plan is the first iteration of the deliverable Project Plan that is used to guide project execution and control. Deliverables from this phase define all future project activities, therefore they are critical to the successful development and delivery of a defect-free product. Quality issues are dealt with during the analysis and planning phase. This includes quality control planning and the assignment of quality responsibilities. Quality assurance activities are defined for all project phases. These activities are defined as standard WESCO activities and are not as project-specific as are quality control activities. The scope of quality assurance activities is defined during the analysis and planning phase. This definition is critical to on-time, on-budget project completion. By establishing the scope for quality assurance early in the planning process, we ensure that quality activities do not dictate the project scope, and thus potentially endanger project on-time delivery. |
