Using the Life Cycle Methodology is Logical

By an organization using the life cycle methodology, a logical path to success is unfolded. Just as the name suggests, it has a beginning, planning and execution phases that follow into a logical conclusion.

When a company decided to deploy the life cycle methodology as their approach to creating a deliverable for the global market place, they have a firm structure to follow that will lay a sound foundation for their project to be built upon.

As with all organized approaches to creating something from nothing, the life cycle methodology begins in the initiation phase. This is where all the ground work is done to make sure the business venture is not only doable, but will create the revenue stream it is intended to do. This will include the feasibility study that will test out how attracted the target audience is to the deliverable. It will also determine if this target audience will actually pay to own your deliverable. There is no need or purpose to create something, no matter how wonderful or cute it is, the people or organizations will not spend their money on to own.

The next phase of the life cycle methodology is to plan the creating of the deliverable. This is a documentation phase of the project that makes use of many project management tools. These tools help to reduce the time required in the creation of all the documents while still providing a detailed plan. The faster this phase is completed with the fewest mistakes or question left to be answered is what generally separates the field of competition.

Being fast but inaccurate or lacking of details will just slow down the next phase from operating efficiently. This is also the phase where the risks and issues are identified so they will do little to no damage to the project when they are encountered in the execution phase of the project plan.

The execution phase of the life cycle methodology  is where all the planning and forethought pays off. With all the obstacles identified and mitigation steps taken, this phase should run smoothly so a deliverable can be placed on the global market place with no time to waste.

Lean Methodology

The use of lean methodology has grown in the manufacturing sector since it was first implemented after World War II. As time has progressed, this methodology has been refined with the end result of creating more, faster and with less. The type of companies that can best utilize the lean methodology approach is manufacturing, because of the principles involved with it. This is to create a product with as little invested as possible in the deliverable. For a company wishing to use the lean methodology , they must first analyze their process in depth. Once the analysis has been completed in every process, the process of eliminating waste can begin on the process as a whole. Each part of the process has to contribute to the end product. The cutting of waste from each and every step in the production of a deliverable is the core essence of the lean methodology approach. This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.
