16. What is a Project ?
A PROJECT is a complex series of non-routine
tasks directed to meet a specific one-time goal.
The PROJECT MANAGER works to balance project
scope, the time available to carry out the project,
and the budget available for the project.
A Temporary Endeavor Undertaken to Deliver a
unique Product or Service. Such as:
◦ Booking Engine
◦ Website
◦ Database System
◦ Write a Book
◦ Build a bridge
16
22. Attributes of a Project
•Unique Purpose
•Temporary
•Require Resources From Various Areas
•Has a Primary Sponsor and/or Customer
•Involves Uncertainty
Never been done before
Must contain a well-defined purpose
Because each project is unique, creates
uncertainty and risk
22
27. Features of Project & Process
Novel: has not been done before, not in exactly the same way.
May be managed across divisions or directorates.
Some key risks involved are not well understood.
Value to the organization is by delivering the project on time and on budget.
• PROJECT Projects, in their purest form, create entirely new processes. Creating a new process
necessarily involves doing new things.
Repeated continually: has been done before, will be done again.
Managed by a single division or department.
Most risks involved are well understood.
Value to the organization is created by continuous improvement of the process.
• PROCESS Procedures that get repeated frequently are usually refined through experience to the point
where they are unlikely to fail catastrophically.
27
31. Why Project fail?
One of the main reasons why projects fail is
that they were not identified as being projects
and so were not managed as projects.
Understanding what projects are and knowing
their features and how they differ from
processes can help to reduce the amount of
waste and risk in your organization.
31
34. What is Project Management ?
Project management is "The application of
knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to
project activities in order to meet project
requirements"²
Project Management involves a series of
activities - and a logical path to success.
Source - ²PMI
34
46. Project Management Simplified
Project Management is the discipline of
organizing and managing resources (i.e.
human, financial & material) in such a way
that a project is completed within defined
scope, quality, time and cost constraints.
◦ The first challenge of project management is to
make sure that a project is delivered within defined
constraints.
◦ The second, more ambitious, challenge is the
optimized allocation and integration of inputs
needed to meet pre-defined objectives.

47. PM Tools and Techniques
Include:
•Project Charter
•Scope Statement
•The Work Plan
•Gantt Charts
•Network Diagrams
•Critical Path Analysis
•Cost Estimates
•Earned Value Management

50. Project Manager
The project manager is focused on making
their project succeed; delivering the project is
all, and if the project does not deliver the
project then they have failed.

54. The Triple Constraint
Every Project is Constrained in Different Ways
◦ Scope Goals:
What is the Project Trying to Accomplish?
◦ Time Goals:
How Long Should it Take to Complete?
◦ Cost Goals:
What Should it Cost?
It is the Project Manager's Duty to Balance Th
ese Three Often Competing Goals

Stakeholders Are the People Involved in or Aff
ected By Project Activities
Stakeholders Include
◦ The Project Sponsor and Project Team
◦ Support Staff
◦ Customers
◦ Users
◦ Suppliers
◦ Opponents to the Project

71. PLC Initiation Phase
Initiation - Define the Project
◦ The Initiating stage of project management includes
examining the strategic fit for a proposed project. Before
beginning a new project, an organization must determine
that the project fits in with its strategic goals.
Understanding the organization’s goals can help executives
identify certain proposed projects focusing on mission-
critical activities as high-priority, and other projects
peripheral to organization goals as lower priority. During
the Initiating stage, an executive sponsor should be
identified. A high-level evaluation of the project’s business
case should be developed, along with project limitations
and technical and financial requirements. A project
manager should be identified and a placeholder project
plan set up in Microsoft Office Project 2003, Microsoft
Project 2002, or Microsoft Project 2000.

74. PLC – Planning Phase
Planning – Create the Plan & Assign Resources
◦ The Planning stage devises a workable scheme to
accomplish the project’s intended goals and
outcomes. In the Planning stage, you identify the
project’s milestones, deliverables, and tasks. This
plan can be your work breakdown structure (WBS).
You develop and refine the schedule, and identify
the resources needed to implement the project.

The Activities:
•Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
•Estimate Resource Requirements
◦ Personnel
◦ Time Line
◦ Budget
•Determine the Milestones
•Develop the Work‐plan

78. PLC – Execution Phase
Execution - Update and keep track
Controlling – Communicate & Report
◦ The Executing/Controlling stage coordinates people
and other resources to carry out the plan as defined
in the project plan. The deliverables in this stage
focus on managing change, entering schedule
updates, tracking progress, and communicating
project information. Each team member performs
defined tasks within the project scope, ensuring
their contribution to the project’s success.

83. PLC – Closing Phase
Closing – close out the project
◦ The Closing stage includes final details for
completing a project. Resolve any final project
details, and obtain customer acceptance of final
deliverables. Conduct a Lessons Learned session,
recording information about areas for improvement
and best practices. Make any final updates to the
project plan. Finally, archive the project plan
according to your organization’s project data
archival guidelines.

87. Project Management Recap!
Projects are the means to bring about change faster than it would
happen otherwise; projects accelerate change to beyond the rate at
which the organization naturally evolves and changes.
Projects have a definite start and end point. (This contrasts with
processes, which continue in a cycle.) Once a project reaches its
objective, it finishes.
Projects have high risk. This is an outcome of accelerated change.
Projects are about doing something new. Consequently, projects have to
develop new approaches and means of doing things.
Projects come in all sizes and every variety of difficulty. Some can be
planned, managed and executed all by the same person working part
time. Others require tens of thousands of people working on many sites
doing many different things.
All of them share some common features and will benefit from some
parts of the body of knowledge that has built up around project
management in general, but which parts of the body of knowledge
should be applied will vary according to the specifics of the project.
