PMBA Base Tasks.xls

Agreements:

• take out ownership for Phase I - focus on tasks and phases
• Phase II would be to add purpose of tasks, risks and roles
• Phase III would be to collapse some of the columns - consider whether complexity model should be S, M, L for starters
• table presentation of material (tool we will use) until after decision matrix (complexity model) is complete and task lists in more final form
  • want the ability to look at just one size project or just one phase as opposed to everything at once

Notes from today's meeting: PMBAMtgNotes011111.docx

Next steps:

• members review the task list and focus on what tasks are missing and should be incorporated
• email the group with enhancements and additions
• group will pick this up again for February 1, 2011 meeting

Next Week:

• review of draft tool inventory: Draft Inventory of Current Available Tools
