What is Project?AProject is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique, product, service, or result.Temporary = a definite beginning and end.Repetitive elements may be present but has fundamental uniquenessIs progressively elaborated.Distinguishing characteristics of each unique project will be progressively detailed as the project is better understood.

- 11. What is ProjectManagement?The application of knowledge, skills, tools and technique to project activities to meet project requirementsProject Management is accomplished through the application and integration of the processes which are grouped in the 5 process groups:Initiating Planning ExecutingMonitoring and Controlling ClosingDue to the nature of change, managing project is iterative and goes through progressive elaboration throughout the project’s lifecycle
- 12. Managing ProjectThe ProjectManager is the person responsible for accomplishing the project objectives.Managing a project includes:Identifying requirements.Establishing clear and achievable objectives.Balancing the competing demands of quality, scope, time and cost.Adapting the specifications, plans, and approach to the different concerns and expectations of the various stakeholders.Progressive Elaboration -- definitionContinuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the project progresses, and thereby producing more accurate and complete plans that result from the successive iterations of the planning process.
- 13. Project ConstraintsEvery projectis constrained in different ways by its:Scope Schedule/TimeCost/BudgetQualityResourcesRiskIf any one factor changes, at least one other factor is likely to be affected.It is the project manager’s duty to balance these competing constraints.

- 21. Project Management KnowledgeAreasFour core knowledge areas lead to specific project objectives. Project scope management involves defining and managing all the work required to complete the project successfully.Project time management includes estimating how long it will take to complete the work, developing an acceptable project schedule, and ensuring timely completion of the project.Project cost management consists of preparing and managing the budget for the project.Project quality management ensures that the project will satisfy the stated or implied needs for which it was undertaken.
- 22. Project Management KnowledgeAreasFour facilitating knowledge areas are the means through which the project objectives are achieved. Project human resource management is concerned with making effective use of the people involved with the project.Project communications management involves generating, collecting, disseminating, and storing project information.Project risk management includes identifying, analyzing, and responding to risks related to the project.Project procurement management involves acquiring or procuring goods and services for a project from outside the performing organization. One knowledge area (project integration management) affects and is affected by all of the other knowledge areas.Project Management Tools and TechniquesProject management tools and techniques assist project managers and their teams in various aspects of project management.Note that a tool or technique is more than just a software package.Specific tools and techniques include:Project charters, scope statements, and WBS (scope)Gantt charts, network diagrams, critical path analyses (time)Net present value, cost estimates, and earned value management (cost)
- 23. Project SuccessThere aredifferent ways to define project success:The project met scope, time, and cost goals.The project satisfied the customer/sponsor. The project produced the desired results.

- 25. What is aProgram?A program is:“a group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually.”A program manager provides leadership and direction for the project managers heading the projects within the program.ADVANTAGESDecreased riskEconomies of Scale
- 26. Portfolios and PortfolioManagementA portfolio is a collection of projects or programs and other work that are grouped together to facilitate effective management of that work to meet strategic business objectives.Portfolio managers help their organizations make wise investment decisionsby helping to select and analyze projects from a strategic perspective

- 50. The Project LifeCycleThe project life cycle is the agglomeration of all phases in the project All projects are divided into phases, and all projects, large or small, have a similar life cycle structure.: Starting the project , organizing and preparing , carrying out the project work and closing the projectAt a minimum, project will have a beginning or initiation phase, an intermediate phase or phases, and an ending phase.Each phase has a defined endpoint
- 51. Characteristics of ProjectLife CycleCost and staffing levels are low at the start, peak as the work is carried out, and drop rapidly as the project draws to a close.
- 52. Stakeholder influences, risk,and uncertainty, are greatest at the start of the project. These factors decrease over the life of the project.
- 53. Ability to influencethe final characteristics of the project’s product, without significantly impacting cost, is highest at the start of the project and decreases as the project progresses towards completion. …or…The cost of changes and correcting errors typically increases substantially as the project approaches completion. Project Phases and the Project Life CycleA project life cycle is a collection of project phases that defines:What work will be performed in each phaseWhat deliverables will be produced and whenWho is involved in each phase How management will control and approve work produced in each phaseA deliverable is a product or service produced or provided as part of a project
- 54. HandoffsProject phases evolvethrough the life cycle in a series of phases sequences called handoffs, or technical transfers. The end of one phase sequence typically marks the beginning of the next.
- 55. Phase-to-Phase Relationships Thereare three basic types of phase–to–phase relationships :A Sequential relationship : where a phase can only start once the previous phase is complete An Overlapping relationship : where the phase starts prior to completion of the previous one (Fast tracking). Overlapping phase may increase risk and can result in rework .An Iterative relationship : where only one phase is planned at any given time and the planning for the next is carried out as work progresses on the current phase and deliverables
- 56. Organizational InfluencesSome organizationalaspects that influence how project are performed:Culture and style (Cultural norms)Organizational structureDegree of project management maturityProject management systems
