Four Fields Mapping (FFM)
Quality Tools > Tools of the Trade > 57: Four Fields Mapping (FFM)

In traditional project planning, the standard approach is that the project manager takes is typically:
�         Break down the work to be done using a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
�         Connect up the dependent tasks into a PERT Chart
�         Map it onto a Gantt Chart
�         Allocate tasks to individuals
�         Reshuffle the above to account for holidays, resource limitations, and so on.

Although the traditional approach has much to commend it, the overall focus of this is on the work and the questions of who works on it comes a distant second. Any question of quality is even more removed and, if it is lucky, will have its own project Quality Plan. It is perhaps not surprising that more than a few projects have run into significant problems around people and quality.

Four-Field Mapping is a Japanese variant on project management that is deliberately designed to put greater emphasis on teamwork and quality, whilst retaining useful aspects of traditional planning.

The four fields are:
�         Team members who will work on the project
�         Phases of activity that give shape to the overall project
�         Tasks which are to be done to complete the project
�         Standards by which task completion are to be evaluated

The four-field approach uses a simple mapping system as shown below to help connect these four fields.
