Project closing management

Project Acceptance

Project acceptance is the first step in project closing management. Only after completing the project acceptance can we enter the subsequent project summary, system maintenance and post-project evaluation stages. Formal acceptance of the project includes acceptance of project products, documents and completed deliverables The acceptance of the system integration project needs to be based on the content of the contract signed in the previous stage and the corresponding technical work content. If the contract changes during the execution of the project, the changed content should also be used as the basis for acceptance of the project. For software-based system integration projects, in addition to the contract content in the early stage of the project, a software requirements statement signed or approved by both parties A and B is usually required as the basis for acceptance. When performing acceptance testing of software projects, the acceptance test cases should cover all functional requirements and non-functional requirements in the software requirements specification. The project acceptance work requires the completion of a formal acceptance report, which mainly includes the main contents of the acceptance and the corresponding acceptance conclusions. All parties involved in the acceptance should sign and confirm the acceptance conclusions and bear corresponding responsibilities for the acceptance results.

Work content

Acceptance Test

meaning

It is a comprehensive test of the information system, based on the system environment agreed in the contract between the two parties, to ensure that the function and technical design of the system meet the functional and non-functional requirements of the builder and can operate normally.

include

Write acceptance test cases

Issue acceptance test report

Signing of acceptance test report

System trial run

Mainly includes data migration, daily maintenance, defect tracking and repair, etc.

System document acceptance

After the system has passed the acceptance test, the system documentation should be handed over to the customer gradually and comprehensively. Before the final delivery of the system, all documents of the system should be accepted and approved by both parties.

include

Introduction to system integration projects

System Integration Project Final Report

Information System Instructions Manual

Information System Maintenance Manual

Software and hardware product manuals, quality guarantee certificates

Project final inspection

At the agreed time after the system has been trial run, both parties can start the final acceptance of the project. Large-scale projects are divided into two steps: trial operation and final acceptance.

include

Recognition and acceptance of acceptance test documents by both parties,

Recognition and acceptance of the working conditions during the trial operation of the system by both parties,

Recognition and acceptance of system documents by both parties,

What is the comparison result between the final scope of work and the scope of work at the initial stage of the project? What changes have been made to the scope of work? Are the changes related to the project reasonable? Is the processing effective? Does the change have a significant impact on the quality, schedule and cost of the project? What is the scope of the project? Whether each work meets the expected quality standards and whether it meets customer satisfaction

cost performance

Whether there is a big gap between the final project cost and the original project budget, including the budget increase due to changes in the project scope, and what is the profitability of the project. This involves the performance of project team members and the distribution of bonuses

schedule performance

What is the comparison result between the final project schedule and the original project schedule? Why is the schedule advanced or delayed? What are the reasons for this situation?

Project communication

Whether a complete and effectively utilized communication system has been established, whether customers have been involved in the decision-making and execution of the project, whether customers are required to regularly check the status of the project, whether there are regular communications and stage summary meetings with customers, and whether timely notifications are given Potential problems of customers, and inviting customers to participate in solving problems, etc., how the project communication plan is completed, whether the internal meeting records of the project are complete, etc.

system maintenance

After the system integration project completes the acceptance work, the information system will transform from the early construction stage to the corresponding operation and maintenance stage.

Follow-up work on software projects

Modification of software bugs

It is difficult for software to be bug-free, but most bugs have been discovered during the testing and acceptance stages. These bugs have been dealt with when the system is handed over. For the system after handover, if bugs occur, they will be dealt with in the way agreed by both parties.

software upgrade

During the software maintenance period, the customer and the service provider should make a comprehensive evaluation based on the specific characteristics of the customer's business needs, the difficulty of software upgrade, the cost and deadline of software upgrade, and the possible related impacts of software upgrade, and then proceed. Make a decision whether to upgrade

Follow-up technical support
