The PMF consists of a Policy and supporting procedures, templates and tools including a contacts list for support.
Project Lifecycle
ANU project methodology and life cycle is based on the PMBoK (Project Management Body of Knowledge by PMI) best practice standards.
Value of project management
It provides strategies to reduce risks, cut costs and improve success rates of project delivery. You can use project management to get the outcomes you want from your project
Are you thinking of starting a project?
The PMF offers:
- Guidance to initiate a project with defined objectives, outputs and outcomes.
- Tools to identify stakeholder needs and expectations.
- Guidance on the right governance to suit the project.
- Methods and tools to plan and manage the project through its lifecycle.
StrategyDotZero (SDZ) is a corporate system aligned with the PMF and is therefore the endorsed or preferred tool to document your project through its lifecycle and prepare status reports.
