Produce a Project Plan in Days, not Weeks

A project plan is considered one of the most critical components of a project. Unfortunately, creating a project can be very intimidating and complex and continues to remain a challenge for most project managers.

IAS has developed a proprietary planning methodology specifically designed to address project planning needs, regardless of the methodology you are currently using. The Kindling Project Planning Workshop has been developed to provide the following benefits:

• An actionable plan will be produced in a few days instead of weeks or months.
• Scope creep is minimized because the entire project team will be involved in the development of the project plan.
• Project risks, issues and assumptions are identified and captured during the workshop to increase accuracy and efficiency.
• The consistent and repeatable planning process will increase team efficiency.

Faster Planning regardless of Project Management Methodology

Kindling was designed to work with your current project management methodology and processes. Whether you are using SCRUM, PRINCE2, Waterfall or a custom developed project management methodology based on PMBOK, Kindling can work for you.

What project management methodology are you using?

At the end of a Kindling Project Planning Workshop, you will be able to produce an actionable project plan that includes the following:

• Project Parameters
  • Project Objective Statement
  • Flexibility Matrix
  • Project Success Criteria
• Deliverables/Tasks
  • Major Deliverable List
  • Major Deliverable Details (Is/Is Not)
  • Major Activities
