Purpose
The project plan is the go-to page for everyone who is involved in the project or wants to find out more about it. As with all important project
information, keep it updated regularly throughout the project and share it with the project team and stakeholders. The Benefits Measurement
section at the end is key - in addition to meeting time/cost/scope goals, the project should have measurable success criteria for providing
value to the company.

Factor Benefit A Benefit B
Cost To Do:
Cost To Maintain:
<e.g. 4 developers x 5
days> = 20 dev-days
<e.g. 3
support-days/month
Same as Benefit A
Metric(s) to be tracked <e.g. Time to deploy a
new instance>
<e.g. Reduction in
support case
escalations>
As-is (current)
measurement
<e.g. 7 minutes> <e.g. 9
escalations/week>
To-be (target)
measurement
<e.g. 3 minutes> <e.g. 6
escalations/week>
Savings $/Wk: <e.g. (# new
instances/week * 4 mins
