  • Includes everything in the Business Analyst Pack, plus a complete project delivery framework.

    1. Project Governance & Operating Model

    Project Charter & Mandate

    • Formal charter document: purpose, scope, objectives, success criteria, constraints, and assumptions.

    • Linkage to corporate strategy, mandates, and portfolio priorities.

    • Defined “definition of done” for the initiative and for major phases.

    Governance Structure

    • Governance map: steering committee(s), working groups, sponsors, and key roles.

    • Responsibilities and decision rights (RACI / RASCI) for each governance body.

    • Escalation paths and thresholds (when and how issues/risks escalate).

    Ways of Working

    • Delivery approach (phased, agile, hybrid) with rationale tied to risk, complexity, and culture.

    • Meeting and review cadences (steering, project team, stand-ups, retrospectives, etc.).

    • Document and artefact standards: which templates are mandatory and at what frequency.

    2. Delivery Structure & Work Breakdown

    Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

    • Multi-level WBS aligned to the Strategic Execution Map (outcomes → workstreams → deliverables → tasks).

    • Clear mapping of each WBS element to objectives, owners, and acceptance criteria.

    • Tagging for dependencies, external inputs, and “critical path” candidates.

    Workstreams & Phases

    • Definition of workstreams (e.g., business, technology, change, operations) and phase gates.

    • Phase entry/exit criteria and readiness checks for moving between phases.

    • Integration points with other projects or programs.

    3. Integrated Schedule & Milestone Plan

    Master Timeline

    • High-level integrated schedule (e.g., 12–24 months) with phases, key milestones, and decision points.

    • Milestone descriptions, ownership, and success indicators.

    Dependency & Critical Path View

    • Dependency matrix showing logical links between major tasks/deliverables.

    • Identification of schedule risks and “no-slip” dates.

    Implementation Waves / Releases (if applicable)

    • For multi-release initiatives: definition of waves, release scope, and sequencing logic.

    4. Delivery Controls: Risks, Issues, and Change

    Risk Management Framework

    • Project-level risk management approach aligned to the enterprise risk appetite.

    • Detailed risk register built from BA analysis: causes, impacts, owners, and treatments.

    • Risk scoring heat map and top-risk summary for executives.

    Issues & Escalation

    • Issue log structure with categories, ownership, and aging rules.

    • Escalation criteria and expected response timelines.

    Change Control

    • Change request workflow from initiation to decision (with form/template).

    • Impact analysis dimensions (scope, schedule, cost, quality, benefits, risk).

    • Change log for auditability and portfolio reporting.

    5. Resource, Cost & Vendor Framework

    Resource Model

    • Role catalogue (by skill/theme) with indicative effort distribution across phases.

    • Responsibility matrix showing which roles are needed where (not individual staffing).

    Cost Framework

    • Cost breakdown structure (people, technology, vendors, change, contingency).

    • Planning-level budget ranges by phase and by cost category, aligned to options from the BA pack.

    Vendor & Sourcing View (if applicable)

    • High-level sourcing approach: what is in-house vs. external.

    • Suggested contract / SOW structure aligned to requirements and WBS elements.

    6. Communications & Stakeholder Engagement

    Stakeholder Engagement Plan

    • Pull-through of stakeholder landscape from BA pack into an actionable plan.

    • Engagement objectives, messages, and channels by stakeholder group.

    Communications Plan

    • Communication calendar (what, who, when, how) across the project lifecycle.

    • Templates for status updates (executive brief, team update, change notice, etc.).

    Decision & Knowledge Management

    • Decision log structure: decisions, rationale, alternatives considered, and owners.

    • Knowledge repository structure (folders, tags) so artefacts remain discoverable.

    7. Monitoring, Reporting & Dashboards

    Reporting Framework

    • Reporting tiers: executive, governance, project team.

    • KPIs and delivery metrics (schedule performance, scope stability, risk exposure, benefits progress).

    Dashboards & Views

    • Wireframes / layouts for key dashboards (e.g., “Executive Snapshot”, “Delivery Health”, “Risk & Issues”).

    • Data sources and update frequencies for each widget/metric.

    Status Pack Templates

    • Standard slide pack structure for monthly/quarterly steering meetings.

    • One-page “at-a-glance” status summary (RAG, top 5 risks, top 5 decisions, next 4 weeks).

    8. Implementation Playbook & Handover Assets

    Implementation Playbook

    • Step-by-step guide for standing up the project using the provided artefacts.

    • “First 90 days” plan: what to do in Weeks 1–4, 5–8, and 9–12.

    • Guidance on adapting the framework as scope or context changes.

    Tooling & Workspace Blueprint

    • Recommended structure for your chosen tool (e.g., Notion, Jira, Planner, Asana, or Excel-based PMO).

    • Board/space layout: projects, workstreams, backlogs, risks, decisions, logs.

    • Field definitions and tag sets so reports can be generated consistently.

    Annexes & Reusable Libraries

    • All templates (charter, logs, registers, status reports) in editable format.

    • Question banks used to build PM assumptions and estimates, for reuse on future initiatives.

    • Glossary of delivery terms, roles, and artefacts specific to your organization.
