Project Plan The project plan shows at high level how and when the project’s objectives are to be achieved. It sets out the various actions that must be undertaken to achieve the objectives together with timescales, responsibilities and resources required. Project Title Define the main title of the project Project background You may wish to include the reasons why the project is being undertaken, how it fits with local and national priorities and some local demographic data alongside some national data. What is the current state of your service and why does it need to change? Project objectives Define the main aims and objectives of the project – what do you aspire to achieve with this piece of work? Be brief and clear. Don’t use technical jargon or acronyms and remember that the objectives within the project aims will need to be agreed with all stakeholders. Project scope Define what the scope of the project is and what is excluded. It is important to define where the project begins and ends and help prevent ‘project creep’ in the future – other areas of work may be identified as different future projects Project Team Identify who the members of the project steering group are, who is leading and sponsoring the project, and who are the wider stakeholders involved in this work? Include their names, job titles, role within the project, email addresses and contact numbers. Outline Proposal Describe what work you are proposing to do as part of the project. What are the project prerequisites - what needs to be in place at the project start and maintained throughout i.e. trained staff, equipment etc. Consider the external dependencies that are beyond the direct control of the project manager but crucial to the success of the project. What are the deliverables and expected changes as a result of this project i.e. what will be the added value that this project will deliver? What are the timeframes and milestones? Process and Methodology Briefly describe the process by which this project will be undertaken – how do you propose to do the work? This could include process mapping the whole pathway of care to understand the current flow of patients and bottlenecks, or defining a data collection plan in order to analyse the steps within the pathway. How are you going to do it? Risks and Contingencies Describe the potential risks and constraints of the project and the contingencies you propose to overcome these – try to manage expectations here i.e. timeframes and resource requirements. Identify what could impact on the success of the projects completion and the actions the project team have agreed to take to minimise these risks. Some elements will clearly beyond the control of the project, but describe how these have been acknowledged.
