Producing an Exception Plan
Overview
Astage is deemed to be in exception as soon as current forecasts for the end ofthe stage deviate beyond the delegated tolerance bounds. The project is in exception if the whole project is likely to go beyond tolerance bounds.
Ifeither stage or project is forecast to deviate beyond its agreed toleranceboundaries, it no longer has the approval of the ProjectBoard. A new plan mustbe presented to take the place of the current plan.
Thedeviation should have been recognised during Controlling a Stage. The ProjectManager will have brought the situation to the attention of the Project Boardthrough an Exception Report. The Project Board will have requested the ProjectManager to produce an Exception Plan. The Exception Plan will then be presentedto the Project Board at a Mid-Stage Assessment.
Ifa stage or the project is forecast to go outside the tolerances agreed with the Project Board when the plan was approved, and the situation cannot berectified, the Project Manager has no further mandate to carry on with thework. The Project Board must be advised of the situation at the earliestpossible moment.
TheException Plan will have the same structure as other PROMISEplans. Itshould run from the present time to the end of the stage. If it is the ProjectPlan that is in exception, a revised Project Plan should be created, takinginto account the actuals to date.
TheProject Manager is responsible for producing Exception Plans with the help ofany projectsupport, and would work with those responsible for projectassurance to check it.
