Trade- off analysis is a systemic approach
to balancing the trade-offs between time, cost and performance.
Information is required from costing, scheduling, project review
reports, and the original plan. This information can be used
to support the following generally accepted six step approach
to trade-off analysis.
Recognizing and understanding the basis for
project conflicts
Reviewing the project objectives
Analyzing the project environment and status
Identifying the alternative courses of action
Analyzing and selecting the best alternative
Revising the project plan
Perhaps the greatest value that DSA project
managers provide is through the stability they can impart as
adverse conditions are encountered. Our team approach to all
phases of project planning and management will increase the
performance of the entire project team. Through a combination
of planning and management skill and sensitivity, DSA project
managers can make trade-offs, encourage the team members, and
reassure the project sponsors in order to produce breakthrough
results consistently over time.
