 PROJECT MANAGEMENT

• Project management is where all processes meet, the central focal point
from which all procedures derive, are specifically defined, scheduled
and organized, following which they are communicated and assigned
and subsequently followed up on and evaluated.
 OBJECTIVES
1. The successful development and implementation of all project’s procedures.
•A project, regardless of its size, generally involves five distinctive phases of equal importance:
Initiation, Planning and Design, Construction and Execution, Monitoring and Control,
Completion.
• The smooth and uninterrupted development and execution of all the above phases ensures the
success of a project.
2. Productive guidance, efficient communication and apt supervision of the project’s team.
•Always keep in mind that the success or failure of a project is highly dependent on teamwork,
thus, the key to success is always in collaboration. To this end, the establishment of good
communication is of major importance.
•On one hand, information needs to be articulated in a clear, unambiguous and complete way, so
everything is comprehended fully by everyone and on the other hand, is the ability to be able
listen and receive constructive feedback.
3. The achievement of the project’s main goal within the given constraints.
• The most important constraints are, Scope in that the main goal of the project is
completed within the estimated Time, while being of the expected Quality and
within the estimated Budget.
• Staying within the agreed limitations always feeds back into the measurement of a
project’s performance and success.
4. Optimization of the allocated necessary inputs and their application to meeting
the project’s pre-defined objectives, is a matter where is always space for improvement.
• All processes and procedures can be reformed and upgraded to enhance the
sustainability of a project and to lead the team through the strategic change process.
5. Production of a complete project which follows the client’s exclusive needs and
objectives.
• This might mean that you need to shape and reform the client’s vision or to negotiate
with them as regards the project’s objectives, to modify them into feasible goals.
THREE PHASES OF PROJECT
MANAGEMENT

1. Project Planning
2. Project Scheduling
3. Project Controling
PROJECT PLANNING
 Most important phase of project management.
It involves –
 Defining objective of the project
 Listing of tasks or jobs that must be performed
 Determining gross requirements for material, equipment and manpower
 Preparing estimates of costs and duration for the various jobs or activities to bring about
the satisfactory completion of the project.
WHY IS PLANNING IMPORTANT ?
i. It provides direction
ii. It provides unifying frame-work
iii. It helps to revel future opportunities and threats
iv. It provides performance standards
In the planning phase, PLAN is made and STRATEGIES are set by taking into consideration the
company’s policies, procedures and rules.

PLAN
 Plans are detailed methods, formulated before hand for doing or making something.
 Plans simply lists the goals(target) and define the means of achieving them.
 These listed goals are called events and means of achieving these goals are known as operations
or activities in attaining final target set aside by the plan.
 The size of the activities depends on the nature and scale of project
 Activities are those operations of the plan which take time to carry out and on which resources
are expended.
STRATIGIES
 It is one important type of plan.
 It specifies the central concept or purpose of the enterprise as well as the means by which it
intend to carry that purpose.
STEPS IN PROJECT PLANNING
1. DEFINE - the objectives of the project in definite words.
2. ESTABLISH – the goals and stages intermediate to attain the final target.
3. DEVELOP – forecast and means of achieving goals(activities).
4. EVALUATE – organization’s resources- financial, managerial and operational- to
carry out activities and to determine what is feasible and what is not .
5. DETERMINE – alternatives- individual courses of action that will allow to
accomplish goals.
6. TEST – for consistency with company’s policy.
7. CHOOSE - an alternative which is not only consistent with its goals and concept
but also one that can be accomplished with the evalutated resources.
8. DECIDE – on a plan.
• During the planning phase, the information needed is about all those
operations or activities, which have to be carried out before the project is
completed, their sequence and their logical inter-relationship.

RESOURCES
 Resources is a basic need while running a project that is classified under –
i. Material resources (what) (including financial resources)
ii. Equipment resources (how)
iii. Space resources (where)
iv. Effort or manpower resources (who)
v. Time resources (when)
Resources are the starting point of many problems that have to be solved by
the manager in the planning phase, before proceeding for scheduling phase
of the project.
PROJECT SCHEDULING

 Scheduling is the allocation of resouces. There resources, in conceptual

sense are time and energy, but in practical sense are time, spce, equipment
and effort applied to material.
 More specifically, scheduling is the mechanical process of formalising the
planned functions, assigning the starting nd completion dates to each part
(or activity) of the work in such a manner and in a orderly and systematic
manner.
 In order words, scheduling is the laying out of the actual activities of the
project in time order in which they are to be performed, and calculating
the manpower and material requirements (or resources requirements, in
general) needed at each stage of production, along with the expected
completion time of each of the activity.
STEPS IN PROJECT SCHEDULING

1. CALCULATE – detail controlled info.

2. ASSIGN – timings to events and activities
3. GIVE – considertation to the resources. The manager is generally
concerned with those resources whose availability is limited and which
thereby impose a constraint on the project. The imp. Ones are usually
skilled, technical and super-visory manpower and capital investment.
4. ALLOCATE – the resources
PROJECT CONTROLLING

 THE CONTROLLING CONSIT OF REVIEWING THE DIFFERENCE B/W

THE SCVHEDULE AND SCTUAL PERFORMANCE ONCE THE
PROJECT HAS BEGUN.
 PROJECT CONTROL IS THE FORM OF MECHANISM ESTABLISHED
TO DETERMINE DEVIATION FROM THE BASIC PLAN TO
DETERMINE THE PRECISE EFFECT OF THESE DEVIATION ON THE
PLAN, AND TO REPLAN & RESCHDULE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE
DEVIATIONS.
STEPS IN CONTROLLING

1. ESTABLISH- standards or targets. These targets are generally expressed

in terms of time
2. MEASURE – performance against the stds. Set down in the first step
3. IDENTIFY – the deviations from the standards
4. SUGGEST AND SELECT – correcting measures. This will involve all the
problems identifying, decision making and organizing and leadership
skills of the decision maker.
