Project Plan Marking Grid Criterion <30 30+ 40+ 50+ 60+ 70+ Project Scope & Product Management (25%) No definition of the project Attempt made to describe scope, no Product Breakdown Structure (PBS) Fair description of Project Scope, PBS incomplete and no products described (or described poorly) Good description of Project Scope, PBS presented with more than 20 appropriate products but no products described or described poorly Well defined project scope, complete PBS with more than 40 appropriate products, product description/s presented but incomplete Excellent project scope, complete PBS with more than 60 appropriate products, complete description/s of at least 3 products. Feasibility and Business Case (10%) Wildly impossible with no thought into implementation issues. No business case elements presented to an acceptable standard The idea may be practically impossible for the team to execute. Little thought has gone into implementation issues. Does not complete at least 3 of the following Business Case elements to an acceptable standard: The business option selected and alternatives considered Primary and any secondary objective(s) Expected benefits and Estimated Total costs and Resources required Stakeholder Analysis Constraints and assumptions Completion date + milestones Key project personnel and roles The Project Team has done little research/ verification and there may be significant implementation issues. Completes at least 3 of the following Business Case elements to an acceptable standard: The business option selected and alternatives considered Primary and any secondary objective(s) Expected benefits and Estimated Total costs and Resources required Stakeholder Analysis Constraints and assumptions Completion date + milestones Key project personnel and roles The Project Team has done limited research/ verification and there may be possible implementation issues not considered. Completes the following Business Case elements and at least 2 to a high standard: The business option selected and alternatives considered Primary and any secondary objective(s) Expected benefits and Estimated Total costs and Resources required Stakeholder Analysis Constraints and assumptions Completion date + milestones Key project personnel and roles The Project Team has only done some research/ verification but there still remain a few doubts about the ability of the team to carry out the idea. Good Business Case but the justification for 1 or 2 of the following elements may not be clear: Why the business option was selected and alternatives considered Primary and any secondary objective(s) Expected benefits and Estimated Total costs and Resources required Stakeholder Analysis Constraints and assumptions Completion date + milestones Key project personnel and roles The Project Team has done a good degree of research/ verification which gives confidence that the idea can be carried out by this team. The Business Case is Comprehensive, believable and logical with good use of PM theory and concepts. Completes the following to a high standard: Why the business option was selected and alternatives considered Primary and any secondary objective(s) Expected benefits and Estimated Total costs and Resources required Stakeholder Analysis Constraints and assumptions Completion date + milestones Key project personnel and roles Criterion <30 30+ 40+ 50+ 60+ 70+ Project Time Management (30%) Nothing acceptable with respect to: Work Breakdown Structure, Activity List, Gannt Chart Network Diagram.
