ABSTRACT

The AIM methodology is a mix of practical tools that establish and measure achievement of long-term change. After documenting the business case that specifies the change, AIM examines the organization’s history or climate for change. AIM also includes communication and reinforcement strategies, plans, and specific tools required to execute the change. Each process, also organized over the ten knowledge areas listed in the project management diagram, contain inputs and outputs. Application of tools and techniques executes individual processes and their interactions with other processes while applying expertise included in the knowledge areas. Software development prepares detailed user requirements, handing them off to soft-ware developers for product creation, testing, and delivery. The intent is to complete an analysis that puts an end to any questions about the plans or product requirements.
