6. What Is a Project?
A project is “a temporary endeavor undertaken to accomplish a unique
product or service” (PMBOK® Guide 2000, p. 4)
OR
A project is an assignment/task/job that has to be undertaken and
completed within a set time, budget, resources and performance
specifications designed to meet the needs of stakeholders.
Characteristics of projects
 unique purpose
 temporary
 require resources, often from various areas
 should have a primary sponsor and/or customer
 involve uncertainty

7. For example
 The XYZ Agency has donated 7.5 crore to provide 3 BHK homes to 50 families living
in the VARACHHA informal settlement. On 6 February 2004, the agency signed a
contract with the ABC DEVLOPERS to implement the project. The following
requirements, set in the contract:
 The 3 bedroomed houses must meet specifications in line with government policy.
 50 families must be given skills development training in small business development
and small business start-up. This is to ensure that the families will be able to afford
rentals, maintenance of the homes and to expand their homes to accommodate the
growth of the families in the future.
 The project must be completed within three years and the handover of the homes to
the 50 families must be a high profile public event.

8. From the example we see:
 a clear task - build 3 BHK homes for 50 families;
 a set time – within 3 years;
 a budget – 7.5 crore;
 performance specifications – houses meet specifications in line with
government policy.
 beneficiaries – 50 families;
 stakeholders – donor agency, Department of Housing.

9. Project stakeholders
Project stakeholders are individuals and organizations who are actively
involved in the project, or whose interests may be positively or negatively
affected by the project.
Key stakeholders in the example above include:
 Project Manager - the individual responsible for managing the project;
 Project beneficiaries – 50 families who are going to receive the houses;
 Performing organization – the ABC DEVLOPERS whose employees are
most directly involved in doing the work of the project.
 Sponsor – XYZ Agency.

10. In addition to these different typical stakeholders:
 Suppliers and contractors
 Project team members and their families
 Government agencies
 Community representatives and organizations.

11. Typical Stakeholders
 Sponsor
 Funding Body
 Customer
 Suppliers
 End User
 Environmental Agency
 Maintenance Team
 Neighbours/Community/Shareholders

12. What is Project Management?
Project management is “the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and
techniques of project activities in order to meet project requirements”
(PMI*, Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), 2000, p. 6)
OR
Project Management is the use of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to
plan and implement activities to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and
expectations from a project.
*The Project Management Institute (PMI) is an international professional society. Their web
site is www.pmi.org.

14. The starting point begins the moment the project is given the go- ahead (when a
contract agreement is signed). Project effort starts slowly, builds to a peak, and then
declines to delivery of the project to the customer.
specifications of the project are defined, project objectives are established,
project teams are formed and major responsibilities are assigned.
plans are developed to determine the project steps, beneficiaries,
timeframes, quality standards and budget.
delivering the project
product to the customer
the major portion of the project work takes place

Every project has constraints or limitations.
The three main constraints are:
• Scope – work that will be done /
expected results of project
• Cost – cost to complete project /
budget
• Time – amount of time to complete
the project / schedule
Successful project balances constraints to
satisfy project sponsor (customer)!
