(CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-IIm-p19)
Content:
Developing and constructing the ICT project
Objectives: At the end of the week, students are expected to:

 Define the different project types;
 Analyze the purpose of an ICT Project Plan and the common mistakes and pitfalls;
and
 Design an Infographics.
Key Concepts
Purpose of an ICT Project Plan

An ICT Project Plan describes the implementation process for an ICT function
(system or infrastructure component) in such a way that it assists in planning (before),
guiding and monitoring (during) and evaluating (at the end) activities, required resources and
expected outcomes.
At the closure of the project the user-organization should be fully prepared to start
exploitation.
ICT project characteristics:
 Has a starting and end date
 Duration 3-6 months, otherwise create sub-projects
 Has its own budget
 Has its own staff
Common Mistakes and Pitfalls

 Mistaking a Policy Plan (what and why) for a Project Plan (how, when, by whom, with
what)
 Implementing without specific and approved Project Plan
 Hardware and software installation = implementation
 Putting ICT in the lead of system implementation
 Implementation without planning data conversion and addressing organizational
change requirements
 Not planning for exploitation

PROJECT TYPES
Type I: Simple – Stable

 Relatively simple planning
 Possible to copy plan from elsewhere
 Internal progress monitoring
Type II: Complex – Stable

 Detailed analysis & planning required
 Expert validation of plan
 Close milestone and quality monitoring during execution – preferably by external
body
Type III: Simple – Unstable

 Easy to plan task
 Emphasis on risk analysis & reduction strategies
 Separately plan for interaction with the environment
 Close monitoring of the environment during execution
Type IV: Complex – Unstable

 Define ambitions and global time line
 SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis
 Divide project in sub-projects
 Plan various project cycles: plan – implement – learn – (re)plan
Project Aims & Outcomes

 Aims to be copied or derived from the Policy Plan
 Define project outcomes that are directly – and verifiably – derived from the aims
 Define milestones (critical intermediate products or decisions that need formal
approval/acceptance)
 Define responsibilities for each milestone and outcome (delivery and acceptance)
PROJECT RESOURCES & STRUCTURE
Resource types:
 Staff (roles, quantity, quality)
 Funds
 Facilities
 External services
Project structure options:

 Independent structure
 Delegation structure
 Matrix structure
Project Activities & Time Plan

 Define activities directly related to the delivery of milestones and/or outcomes
 Link activities to roles
 Identify dependencies between activities
 In case of dependency, check whether a milestone delivery is required
 Combine all into a time plan
