5.2.1.1 Generic Practices for PA 2.1

GP 2.1.1 Identify the objectives for the performance of the process.

NOTE 1: Performance objectives may include - (1) quality of the artifacts produced, (2) process cycle time or frequency (3) resource usage and (4) boundaries of the process.

Performance objectives are identified based on process requirements. The scope of the process performance is defined.

Assumptions and constraints are considered when identifying the performance objectives.
NOTE 2: At minimum, project performance objectives for resources, effort and schedule should be stated.

GP 2.1.2 Plan and monitor the performance of the process to fulfill the identified objectives.

Plan(s) for the performance of the process are developed.

The process performance cycle is defined.

Key milestones for the performance of the process are established.

Estimates for process performance attributes are determined and maintained.

Process activities and tasks are defined.

Schedule is defined and aligned with the approach to performing the process.

Process work product reviews are planned.

The process is performed according to the plan(s).

Process performance is monitored to ensure planned results are achieved.

GP 2.1.3 Adjust the performance of the process.

Process performance issues are identified.

Appropriate actions are taken when planned results and objectives are not achieved.

The plan(s) are adjusted, as necessary.

Rescheduling is performed as necessary.

GP 2.1.4 Define responsibilities and authorities for performing the process.

Responsibilities, commitments and authorities to perform the process are defined, assigned and

communicated.

Responsibilities and authorities to verify process work products are defined and assigned.

The needs for process performance experience, knowledge and skills are defined.

GP 2.1.5 Identify and make available resources to perform the process according to plan.

The human and infrastructure resources necessary for performing the process are identified

made available, allocated and used.

The information necessary to perform the process is identified and made available.

The necessary infrastructure and facilities are identified and made available.

GP 2.1.6 Manage the interfaces between involved parties.

The individuals and groups involved in the process performance are determined.

Responsibilities of the involved parties are assigned.

Interfaces between the involved parties are managed.

Communication is assured between the involved parties.

Communication between the involved parties is effective.
