A method is provided for risk management in project management. A risk is identified for a project during a concept phase for the project prior to an analysis phase for the project. A probability for an identified risk and an impact severity for the identified risk are analyzed to determine a risk exposure for the project. A risk response plan is developed based on the risk exposure. The risk exposure is mitigated by executing a portion of the risk response plan.

A computer implemented method for a plan workbook is provided that comprises recording charter-scope data, management structure data, planning and control data, and supporting plans in the plan workbook for project management. The management structure data is based on the charter-scope data and comprises project management role data that identities individuals associated with the project management. The planning and control data is based on the management structure data and comprises a work breakdown structure (WBS). The supporting plans data is based on the planning and control data and comprises risk register data and variance report data. The method also comprises promoting project management by displaying the plan workbook.

Computer implemented methods and systems are provided for identifying high to high complexity projects. Some method embodiments include defining proposed project data for identified factors, calculating a planning team index for a project associated with the proposed project data, and identifying the project as complex when the planning team indicator falls on one side of a breaking point. The factors are those identified as determinative of project complexity.

Systems and methods for identifying high complexity projects

A billing system and method particularly well suited for use in telephony networks accounts for usage of standard network services, such as voice and data communication, and third-party services, such as paging and voicemail services, supportable by the network. Customer usage of network equipment and third-party equipment is also accounted for by such a telephony network billing system. Network and third-party usage and equipment charges incurred by a customer are advantageously integrated by the billing system into a single customer invoice.
