- A carefully thought out structured but concise written description of a person's job. It will cover authority, responsibility, work content, reporting and working relationships, duties and skills required. Used primarily for management and supervisory positions.

Unfortunately, every minor reorganization required to respond to successive stages of the project tends to render them in need of updating. [D03066]

- Job Evaluation
- A systematic assessment of job content. It establishes the worth of a job in terms of salary or wage compared to other jobs. Many elaborate schemes have been developed and applied with varying degrees of success. While some structure is necessary on a project, pay is more likely to be governed by market conditions, scarcity, individual knowledge, performance or trade agreements. These factors generally also recognize such project aspects as higher stress, cyclical work loading and potential for termination upon completion. See also Job Description. [D03067]

PPM |
- A facilitated interactive group process of highly structured and inclusive meetings or mini-retreats involving key stakeholders such as system owners, system users, architects, programmers, analysts, etc. The purpose is to resolve project conflicts, test project objectives, confirm technical feasibility, discover constraints and risks, or to better understand any other project interdependencies that may exist. These meetings are held in a controlled environment where interruptions can be minimized for extended periods, e.g. four to eight hours per day, until the agenda objectives are achieved. The meetings are typically lead by a facilitator who acts as a neutral third-party and mediator. The facilitator has the active support of an executive champion who sponsors the facilitator's presence within the group and who has ultimate sign-off authority on the group's findings. Also know as Joint Application Re-engineering (JAR). [D05662]
