Module Content
In this lesson, you will learn that the Managing product delivery objectives include work on products allocated to the team is authorized and agreed, team managers and their teams are clear what is to be produced and what is the expected effort, cost, or timescales, the planned products are delivered to quality expectations and within tolerance, and accurate progress information is provided to the project manager at an agreed frequency to manage expectations
In this lesson, you will learn that Managing product delivery accepts authorized work packages from the project manager, creates a team plan for the assigned work packages, ensures products are developed with any development methods specified in the work package description, and demonstrates that each product meets its quality criteria as specified in the product description.
You will grasp how his process is from the team managers perspective, where the team manager(s) or team members execute assigned work packages and give the project manager progress updates via checkpoint reports (this may use external suppliers and possibly contracts).
In this lesson, the first of THREE lessons, you will learn the Managing product delivery activities (and their management product inputs and outputs) consisting of accept a work package, execute a work package, evaluate a work package, and notify work package completion.
In this lesson, the second of THREE lessons, you will learn about the Managing product delivery activities. You will understand the agreement between the project manager and the team manager as to what is to be delivered before a work package is allocated to a team, to check the work package description for the procedure to update the project log, consult with project assurance if any extra reviewers are required for each product, confirm a viable team plan, seek team plan approval, and ensure the project log is updated
In this lesson, the final of THREE lessons, you will learn about the Managing product delivery activities of evaluate a work package and notify work package completion.
You will grasp why the team manager should review and report progress to the project manager for each period defined in the work package description, and that just as the work package authorization was accepted by the team manager from the project manager, notification of its completion must be communicated to the project manager
In this lesson, you will learn how to Apply and tailor the managing product delivery process. You will understand how Managing product delivery activities may be combined, separated, or run concurrently and how specialist work will use appropriate methods and techniques that are appropriate to the type of work.
You will grasp why the project manager and team manager should agree such controls, stated in the work package description, and ensure compatibility with the project management approaches, and why the relationship between the team manager and their team members should be collaborative, and that the project manager may undertake a team manager role
Work Package Description Checkpoints and RACI -- controls the delivery of the specialist work. In this lesson, you will learn in the managing product delivery process, the content and structure of the work package description and checkpoint report.
You will grasp how the RACI table in this process is used to determine responsibilities, accountabilities, those who need to be consulted and informed are applied to the four managing product delivery activities.
MP Application of the PRINCE2 Practices -- controls the delivery of the specialist work. In this lesson, you will learn how the seven PRINCE2 practices (business case, organizing, plans, quality, risks, issues and progress practices) are applied to the controlling a stage process. You will also grasp how the various documents, registers and management approaches are used.
