Polarity Automation can either manage your complete software project or work with your existing engineers and managers to review, advise or lead a particular aspect or aspects of a project.

Depending on the size and scope of the project we can work on the following elements:

The Purpose
What is the project title?
What is the project about?
Who is it for and why?

Determining Objectives
Create SMART objectives: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound.
What are the function, cost and price objectives for the product?

The Goals
What are the main aims? For example: 50% material cost reduction of a product.
What is it we want to achieve?
By when do we want to achieve these aims?

The Benefits
Is there a clear need and can it be quantified?
What difference will it make when the project is successfully completed?
Who are the beneficiaries, how will they benefit?
Are there alternative solutions?
Are those alternatives more or less acceptable?
How important is the success of this project to your company?
What is the value of the end product to you or to others?

Key Success Criteria
What are the objectives that must be met in order for the project to be successful?
Deliverables
What is the end product? This should result in a list of specified outputs, quantified and qualified, for each of the defined project milestones.
For example: Phase 1 will deliver the new user interface software, but this will not be backwards compatible with systems shipped prior to January ‘05.

Project Constraints
This is a trade off between time, resources and performance criteria.
Resources refer to people, money and equipment.
What resources are available?
Are there any hard deadlines to meet?
Is there enough resource and time available to meet the expected level of performance?

Risk Analysis
Identify, quantify and make plans to eliminate risks and make contingency plans to reduce the effects of those risks that cannot be avoided.
What are the perceived risks for your project?
What can you do to avoid the risks you cannot live with?
A risk is anything that may have an affect on time, resource or system performance.
