Introduction
 What is a project?
 What is Project Management
 Relationship to other Management Disciplines

9. 9
What is a project?
 Project vs operations
 Performed by people
 Constrained by limited resources
 Planned, executed and controlled
 Operations – ongoing and repetitive
 Projects – temporary and unique
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to
create a unique product or service

10. 10
Examples of projects
 Developing a new product or service
 Effecting a change in structure, staffing or style of an organization
 Designing a new transportation vehicle
 Developing or acquiring a new or modified information system
 Constructing a building or facility
 Building a water system for a community in a developing country
 Running a campaign for political office
 Implementing a new business procedure or process

11. 11
Think about a project that you have
been involved in. Discuss in
class:
• duration of the project
• Your role
• Any problems arising
• Any other relevant issues that
arises

12. 12
Temporary
 A definite beginning and a definite end
 Can be a short period or last a few years
 Must achieve the objective at the end of the
period
Projects Objectives
 Attain the objectives and then
close the project
 Team are created for the
project and disbanded once
completed
 Limited time frame to produce
the product or services
Normally to sustain the
business,
if objectives have been met,
new ones are set
indefinite

13. 13
Unique
 Unique - Something that has not been done
before
 Eventhough the project category can be the
same, the uniqueness can be maintained
What is the uniqueness of the project
that you have been involved in?
What is the uniqueness of the project
that you have been involved in?

14. 14
Progressive elaboration
 Progressive – proceeding in steps; continuing steadily by
increments
 Elaborated – worked out with care and detail; developed
thoroughly
 Must be carefully coordinated with proper project scope
definition
 Project scope – work to be done
 Product scope - ??

Chemical engineering processing plant
Process engineering to define the characteristics of the
process
Basis for engineering design: detail layout plant amd the
mechanical characteristics of the processing units
Design drawing elaborated to fabrication drawing
During construction, interpretations and adaptations are made
as needed. Lead to as-built drawings
Final test, comissioning and turnover: further elaboration made
in the form of final operating adjustments

What is Project Management?
Application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to
project activities to meet project requirements. PM is
accomplished thorugh the use of such processes such
as:
• Initiating
• Planning
• Executing
• Controlling
• Closing
Project management vs management by

change control
Time management
Describe the processes required to ensure
timely completion of the project.
- Activity definition, sequencing, duration
estimating, schedule development and control
Scope
management
Describe the processes required to ensure
that the project includes all the work
required, and only the work required, to
complete the project successfully.
- initiation, scope planning, scope definition,
scope verification and scope change control

23. 23
General
management
-encompass planning, organizing, staffing,
executing and controlling the operations of
ongoing enterprise
-- includes supporting disciplines such as law,

significant in such projects but are not needed or present in
all projects
-Application areas can be defined in terms:
-Functional departments and supporting disciplines
such as legal, production and inventory management,
marketing, logistics and personnel
-Technical elements such as software development,
process engineering etc
-Management specializations such as government
