In my previous article, I talked about all that you need to know about cost and quality management plans for projects. In this article, I want to look at some facts about process improvement plans for projects. Follow me as we look at that together in this article.
A process improvement plan is a document that describes the steps to analyse and determine areas of improvement in the project process. The areas of process improvement include process boundaries, process Configuration, process metrics, and targets for improved performance.
Typical example…
Sharon Parker is a project manager at a software development company. When managing one of the high-priority projects, Sharon realised that the product testing process was taking longer than required.
She decided to review the existing process followed by her project. The process of testing software involves a senior developer review at the end of each phase, unit testing, system testing user acceptance testing, SME review, and customer service.
Sharon discussed the issue with the process managers and other senior managers. they agreed with Sharon and appointed her as the project manager to handle the process improvement plan initiative.
She created a process improvement plan to reduce the time taken to test the product.
The plan included information on the long and short-term goals, the purpose of the goal, action to be taken, priority levels, time estimate, and who will perform which activity whole improve the process.
