This document provides an overview of a 3-day project management training course. The course covers key project management principles and practices including planning, executing, monitoring, and closing a project. It discusses project initiation, definition, planning, execution, monitoring/controlling, and closing phases. Specific topics covered include work breakdown structures, scheduling, estimating time and costs, developing a project budget, risk management, building a project team, and assigning responsibilities. The training objectives are to provide an understanding of how to plan, execute, manage resources/people, connect with stakeholders, and manage scope, budget, and timelines on a project.
The document discusses various project management methodologies including Waterfall, Agile, Scrum, Kanban, and Critical Path Method (CPM). It provides descriptions of how each methodology works, when it should be used, advantages and disadvantages. The Critical Path Method in particular aims to identify the longest sequence of dependent tasks in a project in order to minimize the overall project duration.
The document discusses project management and the project life cycle. It defines a project and project management, outlining the key processes involved - initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. It then describes each phase of the project life cycle in detail - initiation, planning, execution, and closure. For each phase, it provides examples of common project management steps and activities. Finally, it discusses factors that can impact the project environment such as political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental considerations.
The process of sequencing activities defines the logical order of work by identifying relationships between activities. This is done using precedence diagramming, which represents activities as nodes and connects them with logical relationships like finish-to-start. Mandatory dependencies are required, while discretionary dependencies reduce risk by specifying a preferred sequence. Sequencing activities results in a project schedule network diagram that shows the logical flow of work.
Project planning is an important part of any project that involves setting objectives, identifying deliverables, scheduling tasks, and planning resources. It lays out the scope, objectives, goals, schedule, and defines roles for stakeholders. The key components of a project plan are the scope, budget, and timeline. Project planning follows 10 steps including defining stakeholders and their roles, setting goals, prioritizing and scheduling tasks, assessing risks, and communicating the plan. Commonly used tools for project planning are Gantt charts, problem tree analysis, SWOT analysis, logical framework analysis, and project management software.

Implementation Plan
CITY OF HOLLAND: MANAGEMENT, ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, AND EFFICIENCY STUDY – DRAFT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The Novak Consulting Group has developed this draft Implementation Plan to assist the City of Holland with implementation of the
recommendations outlined in the Management, Organizational Structure, and Efficiency Study. The work involved in implementing these
recommendations must be integrated into the other work of the City, with appropriate assignments of responsibility for implementation and with
the identification of specific planned completion dates. The draft Implementation Plan begins that process with guidance around the length of
time that might be required to complete an individual recommendation (e.g., "Time to Accomplish") and with a recommended priority assignment
- Priority 1-3 based on criteria described below.
• Priority 1: Important to accomplish without delay or has significant operational or financial implications.
• Priority 2: Second tier of importance to accomplish and/or may involve some complexity or time to complete.
• Priority 3: Least urgent to complete and/or may take longer to set up or execute.
To convert this draft to a final Implementation Plan, Holland management and staff will need to identify specific target dates. In doing so, staff
should also: (1) modify the described activities for implementing an individual recommendation based on your knowledge of what will be required
for completion; and (2) adjust the assignment of responsibility based on workload or other considerations. Information included in this
Implementation Plan represents The Novak Consulting Group’s recommendations; final decisions about implementation rests with the Holland
City Manager and, where appropriate, the Holland City Council. It is important to note that this document is intended to be a living and evolving
management tool. It is entirely reasonable and expected for the Implementation Plan to change as conditions evolve. Its fundamental purpose is
to serve as a management tool that will help ensure that the initiatives outlined in the plan are implemented in a thoughtful and systematic way.
Project planning is essential to the successful execution of the work ahead. We hope that you find the draft Implementation Plan useful in that
regard. The Novak Consulting Group remains available to consult with you in this process in whatever way we may be helpful.
