Management

Fab is managed using 'just enough' project management, using project management devices that are useful and/or mandated by its parent programme.

• Project Board documents
• Stakeholder analysis
• Risk/Issue log
• Project plan (including highlight reports)

What's In a Name?

The name "Fab" is a contraction of "fabricate" and is pronounced "fab". It is
not an acronym.

Reasons for choosing it include it being short and therefore quick to type.
The fact that it is fun doesn't hurt either.
