    Project management involves planning and controlling project activities to ensure goals are achieved on time and within budget. It has three main stages: project definition which defines the project, team, and resources; project planning which involves listing activities, roles, timing, outputs, resources, and dependencies to create a project plan; and implementation which checks progress against the plan and revises it as needed.

    PROJECT MANAGEMENT

    Some basic principles.

    What is Project Management?


    It is the planning and control of the project activities to ensure that goals are achieved on time
    and within budget

    STAGE 1: PROJECT DEFINITION

    Define the project


    What is a Project?
    A project is set of activities linked together over a period of time, which are carried out to
    produce a specific goal or goals.

    Define the team


    Roles and responsibilities of team members to be within their area of expertise and within
    their mandate from their employer.
    The role of the Project Manager is support not technical. The Project Manager is responsible
    for the planning of activities and resources and the monitoring of meeting and networks. The
    Project Manager should not intervene in any of the technical or mandated responsibilities.

    Ensure that the resources and expertise are sufficient.

    STAGE 2: PROJECT PLANNING

    Make a list of:

    1 2 3 4 5 6
    All Roles/ Timing/duration Output Resources Dependencies
    Activities/Objectives responsibilities needed

    Prepare a GANT chart or critical path chart reflecting the above

    Get agreements from all concerned in column 2

    STAGE 3: IMPLEMENTATION

    Check progress against plan. Identify failures to perform. Report all concerned. Inform all
    parties of any knock-on effects and changes including new dates etc. Revise plan with new
    undertakings.
    what activities are to be done
    what activities depend on each other
    how long they will take
    when they have to be done
    who has to do them
    1 what do you want to do now?
    2 what must you have done before that?
    3 what can be done at the same time?
    4 what must follow what you do now?
