2. LU 2 - Document Management Explain principles of an efficient document management system Explain how to implement an efficient document management system Risks associated with poor document management Reporting requirements; reporting formats Key project documents Organise information relating to a specific project Add track changes and comments to a document 3. INTRODUCTION Projects create huge amounts of documentation No standard for document control across industry Time spent tracking project documents can besignificant Knowing which is latest document is key Many types of documents with different purposes Due to complexity good to use state of the arttechnology to manage documents 4. PERMANENT TEMPORARYProject InformationExternalPermanent documentation as a Temporary documentation that is Deliverable deliverable from the project an external deliverable from theFour main scenarios(e.g. user manuals, training project but has no value once the manuals, forms etc.) project has been completed (e.g.in terms of lifespandiscussion papers, draft documents,and usage interim progress report etc.) Internal: Permanent documentation to Temporary documentation which is Used by support the maintenance andonly for internal communication project enhancement of the system(e.g. ideas. Issues, control, working team(e.g. design specifications, papers etc.) database definitions, source code, process diagrams etc.) 5. SafekeepingDistribution CollectingManagesWhat information should be collected? Safe storing of the information The method of transmittingthedocumentsmovementof project SortingRetrievalTrackinginformationandDocuments should Ensures documents be able to be foundconsists of: How the information should be categorised and indexed when requireddont go missingand they get toright person atright timeDocument Control System 6. Disposal BackupsManagesEnsures that documents are either arcived orEnsures copies of allthe important documents are securely disposed of at the end of projectduplicated off site or on amovementremote hard discof projectinformationStd templatesandEnsures all project membersconsists of: use same layout of documentDocument Control System 7. Good documentation management system benefits theproject and the organisation by:- Improving the conduct of the business Supporting compliance and QA standards Protecting the interests of the company and stakeholders Reduces the possibility of working with outdated or superseded documents Promoting a common system for all team members Document Management System 8. Responsibility of project administrator PA responsible for co-ordinating all aspects,methodology and execution for project processes,templates, software etc. PMO creates a uniform approach within theorganisation PMO is the physical environment within whichteam will be based and in which documentmanagement system will be controlled Setting up PMO 9. Group ActivityResearch the following websites and answer the questions:-www.apm.org1. Summarise the case studies for a. Martin Gosden and b. Helen Timperley2. What magazine is produced and published by APM?3. What does APM stand for?www.pmi.org1. How many members does PMI have?2. How many countries does PMI have a presence in?3. Name the 2 committees ISO has set up to develop standards in projectmanagementwww.pmforum.org1. What website do you default to? 10. Group Activity contdResearch the following websites and answer the questions:-www.tensteps.com1. Register and print a copy of the following free templates:- Issues log Issues submission form Communication management plan Project charter Project scorecard Project status report Risk submission form Risk tracking log Scope change log 11. DOC M/MENT AT PROJECT STARTWhere possible give team members guidance with templates, modelsand examples of each document:-Template a pre formatted skeleton for thedocumentModel a completed example of the documentExample not as detailed as a model but containssome points of value 12. DOC M/MENT DURING PROJECTProject administrator and PMO will keep track of document status lookingparticularly at:- Documents that are not at their planned stage of completion Documents that are unnecessarily checked out Completed work where the documents have not been completed Competing demands for a document Participants not working on the correct, controlled version of the document Adequacy of review, control, quality and audit information 13. DOC M/MENT AT END OF PROJECTProject administrator needs to check all outstanding documentsTemporary items will normally be archivedPermanent items will be retained for future use e.g.in maintenance and supportExternal deliverables will have been distributed andmust be maintained 14. DOCUMENT M/MENT DECISIONS Determine where to store documents Determine types of documents to include Define a logical and physical document organizational structure Define naming standards Determine if some documents need versioning latest or all versions of a document Determine if (and how) you will track document approval status Determine standard document formats Identify standard document tools 15. STORAGE & DISTRIBUTION OF DOCUMENTS Larger the project more difficult to share information MUST have a control system in place before project starts to preventconfusion Use a common naming convention for all files eg: Project Charter19/08/2012 version 3 A good idea to put date first so that if docs are sorted most recentwill show first 16. STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED DATAStructured information that is storedin a repetitive and structured formatUnstructured documents, imagesgraphics, videos, audio etc. 17. STRUCTURED DATA Fields, records, files, tables Code, models, scripts Rely on tools, databases Source code management tools Hard to organise without tools or structures 18. UNSTRUCTURED DATA Documents, pictures, graphics, text, video, chat Difficult to find tools, although more exist today Document management tools Can organise without tools 19. Documents after project completedSome documents can be archived i.e.project status reportsUser manuals etc. need to be availablefor updating as required 20. CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT CM or Version Control Baseline that provides management control at all phases of a projectlifecycle Management discipline that applies technical and administrativedirection to the development, production and life cycle support of aproject Operation of CM system is responsibility of Project Administrator 21. Document Life Cycle Plan document Create initial draft Circulate document for feedback and modify asrequired Gain approval 22. Group ExerciseIn groups of 3 or 4 discuss the following:-1. What risks to the project could arise through poor documentcontrol?2. Suggest appropriate contingency plans for each risk that youidentify.3. Prepare a 5 minute presentation on your answers use of acomputer is not acceptable for the presentation simply providefeedback in verbal format or by using the whiteboard. 23.
