Introduction To PMMentor (PMM)Welcome to PMMentor (PMM). A successful Enterprise and a successful project both require a careful balance between all of the elements shown on the Contents display. Most Enterprises profess that "people are our most valuable asset" and/or "the people aspects of projects are the most important". Most Technical Staff believe that getting Business Staff involved in a project is the most critical aspect to ensure its success. The material presented in PMMentor (PMM) gives you the most up-to-date and Best Practice information on "people management" and allows you to learn how to make these statements a reality. The material presented in PMMentor (PMM) is meant to be used as a cookbook and useful tool. It is not meant to be read cover to cover. It is meant to be read at the start of each project phase as a refresher for project team members (ie, Sponsor, Project Co-ordinator, Business Leader and Technical Leader) as well as Interested Parties. The common theme with all of the PMMentor (PMM) material is that we want to optimise our performance so that we can produce quality deliverables and achieve desired outcomes in a short, fixed timeframe. PMMentor (PMM) represents an integrated set of processes, techniques and themes to achieve this. Through our more than 30 years of Information Technology experience, we know that one approach does not work for all projects. For this reason, we have designed PMMentor (PMM) to be flexible, so that you can customise it to allow you to use it on any type of project and Corporate Culture environment. You can click on the browse buttons (the buttons with "<<" and ">>" recorded on them at the top of the screen) to step through PMMentor (PMM) a page at a time or you can click on any of the objects shown on the Contents display to see details about that topic. What is presented in PMMentor (PMM) is based on more than 30 years experience in defining, selecting, developing and rolling out industrial strength application systems in commercial Enterprises. It contains a wealth of practical and disciplined information about the software engineering process. You should implement all of PMMentor (PMM) in unison to achieve the majority of the possible benefits. PMMentor (PMM) gives you a well tested process for gathering and documenting business requirements (ie, "Requirements Management"). Requirements Management is more than an intuitive way of "figuring out" the functional and data requirements of an application system. It is the use of a process of proven techniques to produce useful and verifiable specifications. This results in a reduction in software defects, the avoidance of time wastage on the production of unimplemented and unused features and the early detection of defects.
