Part 3: Project Plan Project Stages Work Breakdown Structure The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by City. Initiate and Plan The Initiate and Plan stage involves Project initiation, infrastructure, and planning. This stage creates a foundation for the Project by identifying and establishing sequence and timing for each Phase as well as verifying scope for the Project. This stage will be conducted at the onset of the Project, with a few unique items being repeated for the additional Phases as needed. Initial Coordination Prior to Project commencement, Xxxxx management assigns project manager(s). Additional Project resources will be assigned later in the Project as a Project schedule is developed. Xxxxx provides City with initial Project documents used to gather names of key personnel, their functional role as it pertains to the Project, as well as any blackout dates to consider for future planning. City gathers the information requested by the provided deadline ensuring preliminary planning and scheduling can be conducted moving the Project forward in a timely fashion. Internally, the Tyler Project Manager(s) coordinate with sales to ensure transfer of vital information from the sales process prior to scheduling a Project Planning Meeting with City’s team. During this step, Xxxxx will work with City to establish the date(s) for the Project and Phase Planning session. Objectives: Formally launch the project. Establish project governance. Define and communicate governance for Xxxxx. Identify client project team.

Project/Phase Planning Project and Phase planning provides an opportunity to review the contract, software, data conversions and services purchased, identify applications to implement in each Phase (if applicable), and discuss implementation timeframes. During this work package Xxxxx will work with City to coordinate and plan a formal Project planning meeting(s). This meeting signifies the start of the Project and should be attended by all City Project team members and the Tyler Project Manager. The meeting provides an opportunity for Xxxxx to introduce its implementation methodology, terminology, and Project management best practices to City’s Project Team. This will also present an opportunity for project managers and Project sponsors to begin to discuss Project communication, metrics, status reporting and tools to be used to measure Project progress and manage change. Xxxxx will work with the City Project Team to prepare and deliver the Project Management Plan as an output of the planning meeting. This plan will continue to evolve and grow as the Project progresses and will describe how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. During project planning, Xxxxx will introduce the tools that will be used throughout the implementation. Xxxxx will familiarize the client with these tools during project planning and make them available for review and maintenance as applicable throughout the project. Some examples are Solution validation plan, issue log, and go-live checklist.

Part 3: Project Plan Project Stages Work Breakdown Structure The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by CityXxxxxxx. Initiate and Plan The Initiate and Plan stage involves Project initiation, infrastructure, and planning. This stage creates a foundation for the Project by identifying and establishing sequence and timing for each Phase as well as verifying scope for the Project. This stage will be conducted at the onset of the Project, with a few unique items being repeated for the additional Phases as needed. Initial Coordination Prior to Project commencement, Xxxxx management assigns project manager(s). Additional Project resources will be assigned later in the Project as a Project schedule is developed.

Part 3: Project Plan Project Stages Work Breakdown Structure The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by Citythe ESD. Initiate and Plan The Initiate and Plan stage involves Project initiation, infrastructure, and planning. This stage creates a foundation for the Project by identifying and establishing sequence and timing for each Phase as well as verifying scope for the Project. This stage will be conducted at the onset of the Project, with a few unique items being repeated for the additional Phases as needed. Initial Coordination Prior to Project commencement, Xxxxx management assigns project manager(s). Additional Project resources will be assigned later in the Project as a Project schedule is developed. Xxxxx provides City with initial Project documents used to gather names of key personnel, their functional role as it pertains to the Project, as well as any blackout dates to consider for future planning.
