Phase Review Plan

Purpose

To define the methodology and deliverables that will be used to comply with the Phase Review Process

The Phase Review Plan provides a basis for the management and control of the Phase Review Process.  It will be used as a baseline to measure the progress and compliance to the requirements.

To define the scope of each review and the success criteria.

Derivation and Source Requirements

The Phase Review Plan will be developed from the Phase Review Process and Phase Review Plans for other similar Projects.  The Deliverable Breakdown Structure and Project Schedule will be used to determine the scope and scheduling of the Phase Reviews.

Composition

The Phase Review Plan will identify:

·       The Phase Review Chairman and Assessors,

·       Overall review strategy,

·       Scope of each review,

·       Success criteria for each review,

·       Strategies for dealing with review issues,

·       Reporting points and controls,

·       Assumptions.

For each review the review plan will identify

·       The scope and objectives,

·       Deliverables that are to be reviewed,

·       Entry and exit criteria (including tolerances), and

·       Deliverables for the review.

The Schedule will identify the timing of the review and completion of the deliverables.

The Work Packages will provide a medium for committing the resources and agreeing the timing and costs for each review.

Quality Criteria

Do all the deliverables defined by the Phase Review Plan align with the Deliverable Breakdown Structure?

Are the Phase review deliverables and activities defined by the Schedule?

Are the Phase review costs defined by the Estimate and Spend Profiles?

Does the proposed Phase Review Plan support the Phase Review Process?

Are the deliverables, costs and timescales defined in the Work Packages and agreed with the Resource Managers?

Quality method and skills

The Phase Review Plan will be developed by a member of the Project Management Team and reviewed by the Team Leaders.

The Phase Review Chairman and at their discretion the Assessors will review and agree to the plan.

The Resource Managers will review and agree the commitment of resources to the Phase Review Process via the Work Packages.
