Requirements Management Plan Template Pmbok: Fill & Download for Free

This can be interpreted in two ways.1. Literally: that is, how do you specify the requirements for a project management document, such as a Project Plan (a Project Initiation Document, to use the PRINCE2 term) or a Project Master Schedule. This could be something you need to do for a contract Statement of Work, where you want the contractor to provide his plan as a deliverable.The easy solution is to look to the PMBOK or the PRINCE2 manual and take their descriptions of these documents as a starting point. Depending on the scope of the project, you may need more or fewer details. I like to take Glen Alleman's 5 questions as the bare minimum information required for a project plan:1. Where are we going? (Project Outputs or Product Breakdown Structure)2. How will we get there? (Implementation approach or Work Breakdown Structure)3. Do we have enough time, resources and money to get there (Schedule, Manpower/Facilities requirements, project budget or cost estimate)4. What obstacles will we encounter along the way? (Risk Log, Risk management plan)5. How do we know we are making progress toward our goal (Project controls, project status reviews/reports)2. Awkwardly: by which I mean that perhaps you're asking how to write a project requirements specification. There is an IEEE Standard (IEEE 830) for a software requirements specification that is a good template, but if you want to be even simpler, you would need to describe the functional requirements (what the system must do) and the non-functional requirements (how the system must operate--e.g., environmental or reliability requirements). For each requirement, you can apply the SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound) to determine if it is mature. But developing and documenting project requirements is often the most problematic aspect of project planning, and there are whole books devoted to this topic (e.g., James and Suzanne Robertson's "Mastering the Requirements Process."I hope one of these is the answer you were looking for.

The question is a little vague, but I will pass my thoughts.Hotel management is about stakeholder management. You need to be able to communicate effectively so that the respective stakeholders have their individual quality expectations met. While a hotel is a process, many of the same tools as are used on project management can be adapted and used.As an example, the stakeholder register can be populated with customer groups, that is, the different customer markets, then suppliers, regulatory bodies , of course owners and other managers and also competitors. The register lists the influence each stakeholder has and how they should be communicated with in various instances. The stakeholder management plan gives a defined method if escalating or de-escalating issues. An action plan so to speak.The same applies to the other PM plans. Finance and resources are required to be understood as of course if the quality management plan. If you don't deliver quality, then you can expect to fail, just like a project.So…Human resources, event management, marketing and administration are key elements of running a hotel, and need specific skills and a body of knowledge. But also, the process of running the hotel needs a specific set of skills and body of knowledge.What subjects are needed for a course of study will be determined by the institution. If you want to look at a set of systems that can be adapted to help control the process, then a TPM model could be used. The PMBOK 5th edition is available on the Internet and there is a great deal of project templates available to be reviewed and modified.Hope it helps.

Good question - In my opinion, the most common denominator behind what is called “The Nine Deadly Sins of Project Management” is failing to fit the methodology and the project management approach to the nature of the project.Many project managers use a “cookbook approach to project management” that is based on:Force-fitting all projects to a standard plan-driven project management methodologyUsing standardized checklists based on PMBOK and other sources for project management and risk managementUsing fill-in-the-blanks document templates for creating project documentationThese project managers typically get lost in the “mechanics” of doing project management and become absorbed in completing documentation and other project artifacts and lose sight of the primary goal of making the project successful.In my latest book on Agile Project Management, I use the analogy of a project manager as a “cook” versus a “chef”. I think that analogy fits pretty well.“A good ‘cook’ may have the ability to create some very good meals, but those dishes may be limited to a repertoire of standard dishes, and his/her knowledge of how to prepare those meals may be primarily based on following some predefined recipes out of a cookbook.”“A ‘chef’, on the other hand, typically has a far greater ability to prepare a much broader range of more sophisticated dishes using much more exotic ingredients in some cases. His/her knowledge of how to prepare those meals is not limited to predefined recipes, and in many cases, a chef will create entirely new and innovative recipes for a given situation. The best chefs are not limited to a single cuisine and are capable of combining dishes from entirely different kinds of cuisine.”The way that we do traditional plan-driven project management hasn’t changed significantly since the 1950’s and 1960’s and we live in a different world today that is putting a severe strain on a traditional plan-driven project management approach.Technology is rapidly-changing, projects are more complex, and there is a much higher level of uncertainty particularly in software projectsCompetitive pressures in many companies are requiring more emphasis on creativity and innovation to maximize the business value that projects produce rather than the traditional emphasis on planning and control to maximize predictability of costs and schedulesThat calls for a higher level of skill and we can no longer take a “cookbook” approach to force-fit all projects to a standardized plan-driven project management approach.Chuck CobbAuthor of "The Project Manager's Guide to Mastering Agile"Check out: Agile Project Management Training Online for Project Managers
