Agenda & Minutes

Going through the slides that Paula and Miguel prepared.

Points rised in discussion:

A bit of study phase is included too
There is always a pain, need and desire
Think before you do. Who sponsors and how the money is guaranteed for the whole duration of the project.
Proposal for HL-LHC design study still to be found
LHC is a project of projects = program where each of the work pachages is an individual project
Thijs: "Can you come up with a pool of things that you consider good?"
We are having a lot of examples, but are they any good?
Make it coherent between the booklet and the slides; eg. executive summary is missing from the booklet
new items to the standards, such as primary breakdown,
Nowadays Cost, Scope & Time --> Value, Quality& Image/ reputation
take into account stakeholders; in CERN's case competitiors are other labs and research center; It is always a question of "why did you choose to do otherwise?"
define your benefit, and that shall be the aimed impact of the project
Risks are positive of negative impacts. There are known risks, unknown risks (contingency), unknown unknown risks
how are you measuring the benefits/ achieving the goals?
PMI standard for program management
"how the decisions are going to be taken - something missing in project proposals in general?" - paula
