ABSTRACT
This technique highlights and isolates risk disparities in planning. It evaluates project plans for contradictions and voids. Traditional, formal plans used to guide a project include, but are not limited to, the following:
Project Cost management Schedule management Quality management Communication management Human resource management Contract management Stakeholder management Test management Training Other documents are also essential to the success of the project and
to such evaluations: Work breakdown structure (WBS) Project specifications Statement of work (SOW) Contracts Other baseline documents Although plans outline project implementation approaches, other
documents represent critical communication with stakeholders about what is to be done. Flaws, inconsistencies, contradictions, and voids in these documents inevitably lead to project problems and introduce significant risk. Figure 9.1 illustrates the linkage between three key documents.
