INTRODUCTION, PROJECT MANAGEMENT

OVERVIEW

Project Management
Institute (PMI)
Professional organization for people who
manage projects.
- advance project management as a profession

established a certification process whereby qualifying individuals receive

the Project Management Professional (PMP) designation

Individuals must have work experience (approximately 5000 hours)

and pass an online exam which is based on the Project Management Body of
Knowledge or PMBOK

Project management vs General management

Yes

No

There are a lot of similarities, but there are enough

differences to treat project management as a discipline
separate from general management.
projects are more schedule-intensive than most of the
activities that general managers handle.
people in a project team often dont report directly to the
project manager, whereas they do report to most general
managers.

DEFINISION

Criteria

PROJECT
???

project is done only one time.

Repetitive???

not a project

Should have definite starting and ending

points (time), a budget (cost), a
clearly defined scopeor magnitudeof
work to be done, and specific
performance requirements that must be
met
(PCTS)

. . . a temporary
endeavor undertaken to
produce
a unique product, service,
or result
~PMI

A project is a
problem scheduled
for solution.

skills, tools and techniques to
project activities to achieve project

(included PCTS target).

Project management is
accomplished through the application

Control of work

Goals of the project

Managed???
Project manager should facilitate planning.
One mistake made by inexperienced project managers is to plan the
project for the team. Not only do they get no buy-in to their plan, but
it is usually full of holes. They cant think of everything, their estimates
of task durations are wrong, and the entire thing falls apart after the
project is started.
The first rule of project management is that the people who must do
the work should help plan it.

Goals of the project

Scheduling
is certainly a major tool used to manage projects, but it is not
nearly as important as developing a shared understanding of
what the project is supposed to accomplish or constructing a
good work breakdown structure (WBS) to identify
all the work to be done .
In fact, without practicing good project
management, the only thing a detailed schedule is
going to do is allow you to document your failures
with great precision!

Goals of the project


One person Project

When is managing a project not project management?

one-person job ??project??



definite starting point, target end date, specific

performance requirements, defined scope of work, and
a budget.
However, when no one else is working on the project
(including outside vendors), there is no need for a
critical path schedule.

- require good selfmanagement, or

good time
management, but all
you need is a good todo list,
which comes from a
task listing.

critical path schedule is one that has a number of

parallel paths, and one of them will be longer than
the others and will determine how long it will take to
complete the job, or ultimately, whether the given
end date can be met.

Have value assigned

Must be determined by project team

because the team does not take time to ensure that

they have developed a proper definition of the

problem being solved.
