Product (project management) |
In project management, a product is a
physical entity that is created as a result of project work. Another term for it is
deliverable.
Two kinds of products are created in a project (as per PRINCE2 terminology):
- specialist products, i.e. the intended results of project work:
- installed software
- erected buildings
- trained people
- management products, i.e. (usually) documents used to manage the project:
The injection of specialist products into the organization or its
environment should be both a necessary and a sufficient
condition to bring about changes resulting in achieving project
objectives. One of the tools to test that relationship is Goldratt's Future Reality Tree.
To develop a better understanding of project's products, one can construct a product breakdown structure or write product descriptions.
