Worksheet of Exogenous Variables that Impact the Success of Validation Stage of Product Delivery of a Project
Altino José Mentzingen de Moraes
In the theory presented by PMBoK© - Project Management Book
of Knowledge the Project Management [1] features - among others
- the Disciplines of Scope and Quality. The Discipline of Scope, to
become effective, must provide the execution of a hypothetical step
(not defined in its text but perceived by the present author of this
paper) that can be termed as Planning Stage of Project Result. The
Discipline of Quality, to become effective, must provide the
execution of an also hypothetical step (also not defined in its text
but also perceived by the same present author of this paper) that
can be termed as Validation Stage of Product Delivery.In the theory presented by PMBoK© - Project Management Book

The importance of both Stages is crucial to building a solution that
complies with the expectations presented by Stakeholders in the
Project Result (which, as already said, are recorded in the
Discipline of Scope in accordance with the Planning Stage) and
should meet the intended requirements of compliance in Product
Delivery (which, as already said, are recorded in the Discipline of
Quality in accordance with Validation Stage).
In the execution of Validation Stage of Product Delivery structured
in the Discipline of Quality, which occurs immediately as
predecessor of the placement of the solution built in Operational
Phase Production is used, as reference to parameterize the expected
quality, the degree of compliance with the requirements (Essential
and/or Desirable) specified in the Planning Stage of Project Result
structured in the Discipline of Scope.
Independently of the nature of the Project (if this is to execute a
solution for the Civil Construction, Software Development,
Product Implementation or others Areas), may be perceived some
Exogenous Variables that interfere with the achievement with
success of Validation Stage of Product Delivery structured in the
Discipline of Quality.
The perception of these Exogenous Variables, which can interfere
with Deadlines and Costs initially planned for the implementation
of Validation Stage of Product Delivery, is the result of the
accumulation of experiences throughout the professional career of
more than 40 (forty) years of author this work in projects of
various types, besides their additional Technical Certifications in
the field of Project Management (PMP© - Project Management
Professional/PMI© - Project Management Institute) and System
Testing (CTFL© - Certified Tester Foundation Level/ISTQB© -
International Software Testing Qualifications Board).
As result of their assessments and surveys in this theme, the author
identified and classified the Exogenous Variables perceived
between 2 (two) Aspects, which are, the Circumstantial Aspects of
the Project and the Specific Aspects of the Team. For each of the 2
(two) Aspects (which are defined in the text of this article in
details), 3 (three) Topics are treated (and also defined in the same
article with precision).
This paper also presents an Information Collection Form entitled
"Evaluation of Impacting Factors in Deadlines and Project Costs"
that proposes percentages calculated in benchmarking (but, that can
be reviewed according to the reality found), which enables also,
and principally, be a checklist as confirmation of the occurrence of
the points raised in this paper, so that even other decision-making,
regarding the direction of the Project could be thought.
