Tasks Gantt Chart in project management are activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time. Type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. It illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary elements comprise the work breakdown structure of the project.

This phenomenon can occur when the scope of a project is not properly defined, documented, or controlled. It is generally considered a negative occurrence that is to be avoided. is the precise probability of specific eventualities. PROJECT MANAGEMENT 11
- 13. What is Project Management? The discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. A project is a finite endeavor (having specific start and completion dates) undertaken to create a unique product or service which brings about beneficial change or added value. This finite characteristic of projects stands in sharp contrast to processes, or operations, which are permanent or semi-permanent functional work to repetitively produce the same product or service. ⏳ PROJECT MANAGEMENT 13

- 17. Project Management Stages Regardless of the methodology used, the project development process will have the same major stages: initiation, development, implementation, monitoring, and closing. The approach and any considerations need to be clarified prior to the project objectives, goals, and importantly, the roles and responsibilities of all participants and stakeholders. The use of a project control system (i.e. Microsoft Office Project), help assure that projects are developed successfully Closure Monitor & Control Execution Planning Initiation Definition PROJECT MANAGEMENT 17
- 18. Overview of Stages Definition Initiation Before a project starts the project manager must make sure the project goals, objectives, scope, risks, issues, budget, timescale and approach have been defined. This must be communicated to all the stakeholders to get their agreement. Any differences of opinion need to be resolved before work starts. This is perhaps the most important stage of any project as it sets the terms of reference within which the project will be run. If this is not done well, the project will have a high likelihood of failure. The initiation stage is where the business case is declared, scope of the project decided and stakeholder expectations set. Time spent on planning, refining the business case and communicating the expected benefits will help increase the likelihood of success. It is tempting to start working quickly, but a poor initiation stage often leads to problems and even failure. Planning The key to a successful project is in the planning. Creating a project plan is the first task you should do when undertaking any project. Often project planning is ignored in favor of getting on with the work. However, many people fail to realize the value of a project plan in saving time, money and many other problems. Execution Doing the work to deliver the product, service or wanted result. Most of the work related to the project is realized at this stage and needs complete attention from the project manager. Monitor & Control Closure Once the project is running it is important the project manager keeps control. This is achieved by regular reporting of issues, risks, progress and the constant checking of the business case to ensure that expected benefits will be delivered and are still valid. A project that is not controlled is out of control. Often neglected, it is important to ensure a project is closed properly. Many projects never end because there is no formal sign-off. It is important to get the customers agreement that a project has ended and no more work will be carried out. Once closed, the project manager should review the project and record the good and bad points, so successes can be repeated and failures avoided. A project that is not closed will continue to consume resources. PROJECT MANAGEMENT 18

Waterfall Waterfall model is a sequential design process, often used in software development processes, in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Production/Implementation, and Maintenance. Agile Agile project management is an iterative and incremental method of managing the design and build activities for engineering, information technology, and new product or service development projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner, for example agile software development. It requires capable individuals from the relevant business, with supplier and customer input. Critical Path Critical path calculates the longest path of planned activities to logical end points or to the end of the project, and the earliest and latest that each activity can start and finish without making the project longer. This process determines which activities are "critical" (i.e., on the longest path) and which have "total float" (i.e., can be delayed without making the project longer). In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add up to the longest overall duration. PriSM PRISM is the sustainability based project delivery method which incorporates tangible tools and methods to manage the balance between finite resources, social responsibility, and delivering “green” project outcomes. It was developed for organizations to integrate project processes with sustainability initiatives to achieve business objectives while decreasing negative environmental impact. PRINCE2 PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) is a project management methodology. It was developed by the UK government agency Office of Government Commerce (OGC) and is used extensively within the UK as the de facto project management standard for its public projects. The methodology encompasses the management, control and organization of a project. PROJECT MANAGEMENT 28
