2. Introduction to Project management
• Project Management is not a profession on its own
• It is just a complementary discipline that helps you
run your projects successfully

3. Definition
• Project Management is a temporary
Endeavour to create a unique solution.
There is a difference between a project and
operations easy to mix-up
1) A project ends it closes once outcome unique
product or service is achieved
2) Operations is an on going effort that is
repetitive

4. Disparity between Project, Program & Portfolio
• Project is single, while Program is multiple
projects combined & Portfolio is multiple
programs put together.

5. Project Management Methodologies
• People always confuse these two. To run any
project you need 2 major Methodologies it is
very crucial to avoid mix-up.
- Project life cycle
- Project Management process

6. Project life cycle
• PLC is unique to a project, to a need & it`s highly
customizable ( you can create your own cycle).
• PLC can be compared to the following
• human development cycle
Conceiving - birth – childhood – Teenage hood -
adulthood - Death
• IT life cycle
Requirements – Architecture – Design –
Construction – Integration/testing – Closing
LIFE-CYCLE

7. Project Management Process
• PMPG is not customizable ( processes can be
customized) Project Management Process
Groups is Simply :
✓ Initiation
✓ Planning
✓ Execution
✓ Monitoring/controlling
✓ Closing

8. Initiation Phase
• Develop a Project charter & Stakeholders ID
• Project charter (is a simple not so detailed mini project
plan). Answers why you are doing what you are doing?
- Objective (business case)
- Scope
- Cost (Project total budget)
- Time (specific duration of project)
- Key milestones
- Key stakeholders (roles & responsibilities)
• Why PC so important? Majorly it`s to have a buy-
in/sponsor sign-off on the project. (if no buy-in then no
need for planning)
• Please note project details depends on project needs or scale (some
project initiation phase requires high level planning )

9. Initiation Phase (contd)
• Stakeholder Identification
• - Create an excel register list of all stakeholders & get a
sign-off
Project sponsor

10. Planning Phase
• Planning finds answers to 3 questions it is more detailed introduces
the knowledge areas.
- What are we going to do?
- How are we going to do it?
- How do we know when project is completed? (in real life most
projects later become operations)
Planning is more detailed & comprehensive includes the following :-
1) Requirements (gather requirements with whole team involved)
2) Scope (makes team see project clearly and give detail definition)
3) WBS (very essential for whatever frame work employed)
4) Schedule
5) Timeline
6) Cost
7) Budget
8) Quality

11. Planning Phase (contd)
• PMBOK 2020 Knowledge areas
1) Integration
2) Scope Management
3) Schedule Management (Gant chart)
4) Cost Management (estimations/cost assumptions)
5) Quality Management
6) Resource Management
7) Communication Management
8) Risk Management
9) Procurement Management
10) Stakeholders Management

12. Execution Phase
• Implementation of work defined in the Project planning
created. (Execution depends on good planning)
- Protect project scope against change request unless
they are valid requests.

13. Monitoring/controlling Phase
• Means measuring the performance of Project against the
Plan to avoid delays.
- For me Both Monitoring & Execution should go on
simultaneously (Note PMBOK flaw how can you monitor
what you have executed?)
- Make use of earned Value analysis calculations(complex
to use in real life)

14. Closing
• Closing is customizable
- Handover end product or service (get sign-off)
- Finish Procurement (make final payments complete
records
- Lessons learnt (documenting what went wrong & what
you learnt from it)

15. What ever your project is don`t quit because you are
not seeing results now. They will come and when
they do they will come like that – Deniz Sasal
