Rolling Wave Planning

In this episode, Ricardo explains when it's a good idea to split a project into phases/stages. He also pointed out that nothing prevents us from using different methodologies to manage each of these stages, if that contributes to project success, of course.

In this podcast, Ricardo explains that, unlike what many people think, the assumptions and restrictions (or constraints) often need to be registered not only in one but in several documents throughout the progression of the project planning.

In this podcast, Ricardo talks about the concept of Rolling Wave Planning, which deals with the progressive elaboration of the project scope. He presents the pros and cons of this technique, giving answers to questions such as: "How do I get the detail work that will happen in the 2nd week of the 14th month in my project?"

In this podcast, Ricardo continues to talk about how can we minimize scope changes in a project. He suggests another three other control measures: the formalization, the phasing of the project and the rolling wave planning.

This article aims to discuss the costs and benefits of speed in developing a project plan and proposes a basic process that consists of 10 steps to plan and 10 steps to track a project in a short time. The process aims to simplify and prioritize critical documents to be developed in order to ensure the purpose, scope, deadlines and budgets, as well as direct restrictions of the project to be developed.

El artículo tiene por objetivo discutir los costos y beneficios de la velocidad en el desarrollo de un plan de proyecto y propone un proceso básico compuesto de 10 etapas para planear y 10 etapas para acompañar/controlar un proyecto en un corto espacio de tiempo. El proceso propone la priorización y simplificación de los documentos críticos a ser desarrollados de modo que aseguren el propósito, el alcance, los plazos y presupuestos, bien como las restricciones directas del proyecto a ser desarrollado.
