PgM Processes
Program Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Phases
Program/Project Management (PgM) is a cyclical process of Planning, Execution, and Monitoring,
where centralized planning drives and supports standardized project and contract execution, which
produces data to feed monitoring efforts, which then informs iterative planning functions and course
corrections.
Planning
As mentioned in the QuickStart guide, as part of the initial Post-Award planning process, the PM will
be responsible for developing deliverables/plans within the first month after contract award. These
will include the following:
Project Charter
This is a document that provides a delineation of team member roles and responsibilities, outlines the
project’s goals and objectives, identifies the main stakeholders, and defines the authority of the PM.
A template for this is available in the Vysnova Standard PgM Docs (See Annex E for list of folder
contents). The project charter should contain:
Synopsis of the project, including the PWS objectives
A list of all team members and their roles and responsibilities
The project organizational chart
Authorities of team members
Critical success factors for completing the project objectives
Charter agreement signature blocks
Project Management Plan
The PM is responsible for weaving any related pre-award documents along with the contract
PWS/SOW and developing it into a Project Management Plan (PMP) that details the execution plan
designed to satisfy and/or exceed the contractual requirements. This is done in collaboration with the
client and Vysnova back office (i.e. Vysnova corporate departments such as Accounting, Contracts,
Security, Human Resources, etc.) support as needed. A template is available for this document in the
Vysnova Standard PgM Docs folder (see Annex E). This essential document guides the entire project
and details the management plans that cover the following:
Project Objectives
Project Scope & Deliverables
Project Schedule
Project Budget
Quality Assurance Management Plan
