DECISION ANALYSIS AND RESOLUTION

El propósito de ‘Decisión Analysis and Resolution’ (DAR), perteneciente al Nivel de Madurez 3, es analizar las posibles decisiones usando un proceso de evaluación formal que evalúa las alternativas identificadas y el criterio establecido.

Esta área de proceso involucra establecer pautas para determinar qué resultados estarán sujetos a un proceso de evaluación formal. Este proceso de evaluación formal es una propuesta estructurada que permite evaluar las soluciones alternativas y un criterio establecido para determinar una solución al problema planteado.

Un proceso de evaluación formal implica las siguientes acciones: (1) Establecer un criterio para evaluar las alternativas, (2) Identificar las soluciones alternativas, (3) Seleccionar métodos para evaluar las alternativas, (4) Evaluar las soluciones alternativas usando el criterio establecido y los métodos; y (5) Seleccionar las soluciones recomendadas.

DAR se relaciona con las siguientes áreas de proceso: IPM y RSKM. Los objetivos específicos (SG), prácticas específicas (SP) y subprácticas de esta AP son:

SG 1 - Evaluate Alternatives

SP 1.1 - Establish Guidelines for Decision Analysis

1.5.1- Evaluate the proposed alternative solutions using the established evaluation criteria and selected methods. 1.5.2- Evaluate assumptions related to the evaluation criteria and the evidence that supports the assumptions. 1.5.3- Evaluate whether uncertainty in the values for alternative solutions affects the evaluation and address these uncertainties, as appropriate. 1.5.4- Perform simulations, modeling, prototypes, and pilots as necessary to exercise the evaluation criteria, methods, and alternative solutions. 1.5.5- Consider new alternative solutions, criteria, or methods if the proposed alternatives do not test well; repeat the evaluations until alternatives do test well. 1.5.6- Document the results of the evaluation.

SP 1.6 - Select Solutions

1.6.1- Assess the risks associated with implementing the recommended solution. 1.6.2- Document the results and rationale for the recommended solution.

INTEGRATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT El propósito de ‘Integrated Project Management’ (IPM), perteneciente al Nivel de Madurez 3, es establecer y administrar el proyecto; y la participación de las partes interesadas de acuerdo al proceso definido e integrado que está basado en el conjunto de procesos estándares de la organización. El proceso definido e integrado es denominado proceso definido del proyecto.

La implementación y el manejo del proceso definido del proyecto son descriptos en el plan de proyecto. Ciertas actividades pueden ser efectuadas en otros planes. Esta área de proceso trata la coordinación de todas las actividades asociadas a los proyectos. Estas actividades son: (1) Actividades de Desarrollo, (2) Actividades de Servicio, (3) Actividades de adquisición y (4) Actividades de Soporte. IPM se relaciona con las siguientes áreas de proceso: PP, PMC, OPD y MA.
