Project Profile Editor

Introduction
This is the beginning of the meat of your project plan. This is the background and justification behind your project. In the final plan, this will appear as standard paragraph text.

Objective
In 25 words or less, capture the objective of your project in terms of Cost, Schedule and Performance. For example, "To complete the HTML walkthrough for ProjectMaster 3.5 within a cost of $25.00 by December 31, 2000." It's important to be concise, particularly to ensure all team members on the project team will be able to commit the entire objective to memory.

Deliverables
Deliverables represent the top level of work to be done. Here you'll want to capture the main items you'll have when you've finished the project.

Show WBS Number
Traditional project planning dictates entering deliverables without the WBS number displayed. In ProjectMaster, you have the option of entering data with or without the WBS number visible.

Measures
Measures indicate how well or how much will be accomplished. To make the measures more meaningful, try to include a number of some sort in each one.

Exclusions
Exclusions indicate what will specifically not be included in the scope of this project. Effectively managing exclusions will aid the project manager in managing expectations of not only the team, but the end customer of the project.

Move
Deliverables, Measures, and Exclusions give you the option to reorder each. Select the item you'd like to move and click the up or down arrow for that section to reorder.
