Delivering IT Projects
Tools
Templates are offered here on an as-is basis. Feel free to use them, and do let me know if you find them useful or have any comments.
| Iteration Spreadsheet.This spreadsheet is useful for keeping track of tasks in an iteration or sprint, if you are using Scrum or other iterative methodology. It’s adapted from the one handed out on the ScrumMaster course, with a worked example |
| Change Request.I use this form, along with a change register, for making sure that change requests are analysed thoroughly and that the actions needed to bring an approved change into the project are identified and carried out |
| Short Project Definition. I find this useful when a full PID isn’t wanted, for a short project or as a terms of reference for a supplier. Please see the recent article on engaging consultancy suppliers for discussion on using this template and add your own comments there if you wish |
| Projects produce documents, and the quality of those documents is greatly improved if they’re formally reviewed. I use this feedback sheet in projects, and offer a review service to colleagues who work independently and to clients who produce their own documentation |
Availability
I am now taking a year off to do an MSc in Renewable Energy, and don't expect to be available for major projects until at least August 2010.Read my blog on renewable energy and student life
I'm still available for small consulting assignments, so please feel free to contact me if that's of interest.
