budget (cost plan)

conditions:
It is unique
A project is finite
Usually complex
A project is homogeneous
Non-repetitive
Requires multiple resources from a finite resource pool
 What Is a Project?
• A project is “a temporary endeavor undertaken to
create a unique product, service, or result.”*

• Operations is work done to sustain the business.

or the project has been terminated.

 What is Project Management?
• Project management is “the application
of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques
to project activities to meet project
requirements.”*

*PMI, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge

(PMBOK® Guide) (2004), p. 8.
 The Triple Constraint
• Every project is constrained in different ways
by its:

– Scope goals: What work will be done?

– Time goals: How long should it take to complete?

– Cost goals: What should it cost?

• It is the project manager’s duty to balance

these three often-competing goals.
 The Triple Constraint of Project
Management

Successful project
management means
meeting all three
goals (scope, time,
and cost) – and
satisfying the
project’s sponsor!
 Project Stakeholders
• Stakeholders are the people involved in or
affected by project activities.
• Stakeholders include:
– Project sponsor
– Project manager
– Project team
– Support staff
– Customers
– Users
– Suppliers
– Opponents to the project
 Nine Project Management
Knowledge Areas
• Knowledge areas describe the key competencies
that project managers must develop.
– Four core knowledge areas lead to specific project
objectives (scope, time, cost, and quality).
– Four facilitating knowledge areas are the means
through which the project objectives are achieved
(human resources, communication, risk, and
procurement management).
– One knowledge area (project integration management)
affects and is affected by all of the other knowledge
areas.
– All knowledge areas are important!

5 custom tailor their project management process to best
fit their company's needs.

Old saying:
“To break the rules, first you have to know
the rules. ”

In the long run, this means that companies will have less of
a reason to outsource when projects require special
treatment. PMBOK
