Peter F. Drucker distinguishes between management, which is doing things right, and leadership, which is doing the right things. Project management consists of three phases: project planning, scheduling, and project control. The project planning phase involves developing a work breakdown structure, estimating costs and time, and allocating resources. In the scheduling phase, activities are identified and their durations and interrelationships are estimated to develop a network diagram and calculate floats and critical paths. The project control phase involves evaluating actual progress against the plan and revising uncompleted work if needed through reallocating resources.

4. Project Planning Phase
In order to visualize the sequencing or precedence
requirements of the activities in a project is helpful to
draw a network diagram. For this the following steps
are adopted: Indentify various activities to be performed in the
project, i.e. develop a breakdown structure(WBS).
 Determine the requirement of resources such as
men, material, machines, money, etc.

5.  Assign responsibility for each work package.
 Allocate resources to work packages.
 Estimate cost and time at various levels of
project completion.
 Develop work performance criteria.
 Establish control channels for project
personnel.

6. Scheduling Phase
Once all work packages have been
indentified and given unique names or
identifiers, scheduling the project, i.e.
when each of the activities are required
to be performed, is taken up. It prepares
an analysis/estimate of the likelihood of
the project to be completed on or before
the specified time.

7. The various steps involved in this phase are:Identify all people who will be responsible for each
task.
Estimate the expected duration(s) of each activity.
Specify the interrelationship.
Develop a network diagram.
Based on these time estimates, calculate the total
project duration, identify critical path; calculate
floats; carry out resources smoothing exercise for
critical resources, taking into account the resource
constraints.

8. Project Control Phase
Project control refers to the evaluation of the
actual progress against the plan. If significant
differences are observed, then the scheduling
and resource allocation decisions are changed
in order to update revise the uncompleted
part of the project. In other words, remedial
or reallocation of resources measures are
adopted in such cases.
