Reporting procedures.
It remains with the sub-projects to achieve their objectives in their own respon-
sibility. For this responsible managers of the sub-projects employ those instru-
ments, which they deem fit for their purposes. However, one has to make sure that
communication proceeds along agreed upon lines. If necessary, this can be assured
by drafting internal Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Of course the overall
project is subject to a central controlling instance with special emphasis on budget
control.
In large organisations most of the sub-project responsibilities remain intact even
after the project has come to an end. They can be utilised for follow-up projects. In
small companies tasks like migration and data clean-up will have finished with the
end of such a project. They can be re-activated at a later stage, if required. However,
there is a risk that acquired knowhow may have been lost by then once external
resources have been released.
