Framework for the WWPMM Project Definition
The following framework is for the Project Definition as defined by the WWPMM Project Definition work product. For assistance with creating a Project Definition, refer to the WWPMM Project Definition work product. This can be found, along with descriptions and templates for all WWPMM work products, at the WWPMM Portal.
Creating the Project Definition
You should create an initial version of the Project Definition after assessing the project goals and objectives. Do this before refining the solution to the level that is appropriate for planning. The initial version of the Project Definition contains the objectives and the plan for the defining activities.
To do this, you must review all existing project documentation including documents and correspondence that have accumulated. Pay special attention to the Project Charter as one of the primary inputs. You must also meet with the main stakeholders identified in the charter and obtain their view of the target solution and project scope, paying special attention to their needs, and the risks they identify. Then, based on what you have learned, use the WWPMM template for the Project Definition and fill in the required information.
