PMBOK<br />

The issue management plan outlines the methods and techniques that we will use to identify,<br />

document, resolve, track, and report issues. Issue management is critical to the success of the<br />

MMIS Re-procurement Project. An issue represents a problem that is occurring and having<br />

impact at the project level.<br />

Our issue management plan is a method to resolve problems encountered by the project teams<br />

to minimize possible negative effects to the MMIS Re-procurement Project. Issues can be the<br />

result of risks being realized or unforeseen problems that arise on the project. Left unresolved,<br />

an issue will impede or prohibit project-related progress or development by affecting scope,<br />

budget, schedule, resources, or quality. We actively manage and resolve issues to keep the<br />

projects and phases on track. The issue management plan defines the process of how a<br />

specific issue should be identified, documented, resolved, tracked, and reported.<br />

Through our solid project management practices and collaboration with BMS, we will provide<br />

visibility into issues using our <strong>HP</strong> PPM tool. Issue management spans the entire life cycle of the project and includes iterative<br />

processes and activities. We apply a disciplined, rigorous, and control-based methodology to this important management function.<br />

Our approach includes interaction and coordination with BMS on issue management to improve the quality of the MMIS and lower<br />

delivery risk.<br />

Our issue management approach is a closed-loop process that is focused on promptly reporting and managing issues before<br />

they have a negative effect on the project. The approach focuses on working with the project teams to quickly identify, assign,<br />

and resolve issues affecting the project across the multiple phases. Coupling the methods and processes with <strong>HP</strong> PPM<br />

provides BMS with a high degree of flexibility, oversight, and control for issue management, with a focus on the areas of<br />

specific interest.<br />

Our issue management process focuses on early identification, structured issue tracking, and prompt resolution procedures to<br />

reinforce the closed-loop structure. Our project management and systems experience enables the project team to proactively<br />

identify issues, quickly identify and analyze resolution alternatives, and make resolution recommendations.<br />

The issues management process steps include the following:<br />

• Identify issue—Issues are captured from stakeholders throughout the project.<br />

• Document issue—<strong>HP</strong> PPM will be used to document and track issues.<br />

• Analyze issue—The issue is analyzed and assigned to an issue owner.<br />

• Escalate issue—Escalation may occur throughout the issue management process based on the need for approvals or the<br />

urgency of the issue.<br />

• Resolve or defer issue—The issue is resolved or deferred to a later date.<br />

• Obtain agreement on project issue resolution or decision—Relevant stakeholders agree with the resolution or<br />

decision.<br />

• Track issue resolution—<strong>HP</strong> PPM will track issue resolution.<br />

• Close issue—The issue is closed in <strong>HP</strong> PPM and resolution is distributed.<br />
