Write You - Project Management: An Overview
'You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership - Dwight Eisenhower'Dwight Eisenhower was the Allied Supreme Commander in WWII and President of the United States.

An interesting aspect of the proposed new Security & Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations on Executive Compensation relate to the need to supply justification for their decisions (see February 2006 issue for details of the proposed regulation). Currently, most Boards provide a written section, which discusses their general philosophy, such as “providing a total compensation package for executives that is comp
• It will have a clearly defined business objective, more usually related to introducing change within the business or corporation, and will be a “one off” activity with a definitive Start and Finish;
• It is likely to involve numerous inter-related tasks and, as an activity, it would benefit from formalised procedures, processes and controls to ensure successful delivery and implementation;

Project Lifecycle
There are essentially four (4) stages or phases in any Project Lifecycle:
1. Initiation;
2. Feasibility Study;
3. Delivery;
4. Closure or Finalisation;
Principal Purpose of Each Project Lifecycle Phase:
• Initiation – the initiation phase is the undertaking of a high-level investigation into the proposed project to enable an informed decision to be made on the commitment of funds and the required resources for a more detailed investigation.
The purpose here is to Identify, Scope and Gain Initial Approval for a Project or Projects that will deliver tangible benefit to the business.
• Feasibility Study Phase – the study phase is intended to produce a high-level specification of the requirements and to formulate a recommended approach on how to address them, thus allowing a decision to be made on the soundness of the Project and the commitment of corporate funds and resources to the commencement and delivery of the Project – either in full or in part.
The purpose of the study phase is to Confirm and Reiterate the business requirements and benefits of the proposed Project (s), Identify and Select the Preferred Solution and to Prepare an Outline Schedule for the Delivery Phase.
• Delivery Phase – to define, plan and schedule the Project’s delivery in the required detail, and to proceed to implementation in accordance with the terms of the resulting Scope, Budget and Timescales.
The purpose of the delivery phase is to Design, Develop, Test, Implement and Hand Over the Solution identified in the Feasibility Study Phase. Management of the Project Deliverables at a detailed, and if necessary a nitty gritty level, should then be bestowed on the parties involved in delivery during this phase.
• Closure or Finalisation Phase – the purpose here is to review the effectiveness of the delivery of the Project, to Close the Budget and to Release any remaining financial or other resources.
The purpose of the Closure or Finalisation phase is to ensure that all agreed deliverables have been accepted by the Users, all costs have been properly accounted for and allocated, and the mechanisms for monitoring the delivery of the project benefits are put in place.

The ProblemAt one of the accounting forums I visit, quickbooksgroup.com, somebody wrote to explain a problem she was having in her QuickBooks file. After some posts back and forth with her, I saw that it boiled down to some changes her accountant made to the file - procedural changes which seemed unnecessary to me, and which happened without the file owner's permission or understanding. I told her
