The Concept Phase, sometimes called Iteration
-1, is the pre-project aspects of portfolio management. During this phase you
will:
Define the
business opportunity
Identify a
viable for the project
Assess the
feasibility
In this phase the mentee has the goal to
determine the problem to fix in the current manual system of the HRD. At first, the trainee had an interview with
the Human Resource Manager to have an idea about the operations in HRO are
being done. Some documents necessary for
the project are given to the trainee for further understanding. Based on the
interview and documents, the trainee looked for an applicable solution and
visits the HRM to assure if the proposed solution is applicable for the actual
need
Inception/Warm
Up: PROJECT INITIATION
The first week or so of an agile project is
often referred to as "Iteration 0" (or "Cycle 0") or in The
Eclipse Way the "Warm Up" iteration. The trainee’s goal during this
period is to initiate the project by:
Garnering initial support and funding
for the project. This may have been already achieved via your portfolio
management efforts, but realistically at some point somebody is going to ask
what we are going to get, how much is it going to cost, and how long is it
going to take. You need to be able to provide reasonable, although potentially
evolving, answers to these questions if you're going to get permission to work
on the project. You may need to justify your project via a feasibility project.
