Initial Study
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Enterprise Content Management (ECM) tools
provide a foundation for the management of digital content in ways that extend well beyond departmental boundaries. A PLM or ECM project
is an enterprise-wide initiative that will demand deep skills in project management, communications and information technology.
The first step in a successful PLM or ECM project is to clearly establish the motivation for the project, identify the target business
processes, and to budget properly for the project. The deliverable from an Initial Study is a project charter that takes a position on
the following project parameters:
- Goals
- Objectives
- Resources
- Constraints
- Assumptions
- Related Projects
- Schedule
- Scope
