ABSTRACT
The friction, shouting, and table thumping were some things that nobody looked forward to on a daily basis as a way to run a project. The friction, shouting, and table thumping were some things that nobody looked forward to on a daily basis as a way to run a project. Another variant is the definition of “customer.” Government contractors really have an external customer, whereas many commercial companies are very driven by internal customers. In addition to various reviews and meetings, the government identifies the set of deliverables by name, along with when they are to be produced and how many versions of each are needed. Requirements can get overlooked when they are not pulled out as discrete requirements. Commercial companies are not going to spend time and effort creating fancy documents for their own consumption. The big event during the execution segment is project planning and tracking.
