Identifying and addressing common project challengesPaul Welty
Over the years, I have formulated a theory of projects. The goal of telling you about this is to try to help you improve the success of your projects. By understanding projects and their components (strategy, tactics, and measurement), and by applying the framework I will share, you can better identify and address these project challenges.

The Project Management Process
Groups: A Case Study
After reading this chapter, you will be able to:
1. Describe the five project management process groups, the typical level of
activity for each, and the interactions among them
2. Understand how the project management process groups relate to the project
management knowledge areas
3. Discuss how organizations develop information technology project manage-
ment methodologies to meet their needs
4. Review a case study of an organization applying the project management
process groups to manage an information technology project, and understand
the contribution that effective project initiation, project planning, project
execution, project monitoring and controlling, and project closing make to
project success
OPENING CASE
rica Bell was in charge of the Project Management Office (PMO)
for her consulting firm. The firm, JWD (Job Well Done)
Consulting, had grown to include more than 200 full-time consul-
tants and even more part-time consultants. JWD Consulting pro-
vides a variety of consulting services to assist organizations in
selecting and managing information technology projects. The firm
focuses on finding and managing high-payoff projects and develop-
ing strong metrics to measure project performance and benefits to the
organization after the project is implemented. The firm’s emphasis
Objectives
E
on metrics and working collaboratively with its customers gives it
an edge over many competitors.
Joe Fleming, the CEO, wanted his company to continue to grow
and become a world-class consulting organization. Since the core of
the business was helping other organizations with project manage-
ment, he felt it was crucial for JWD Consulting to have an exemplary
process for managing its own projects. He asked Erica to work with
her team and other consultants in the firm to develop several intranet
site applications that would allow them to share their project man-
agement knowledge. He also thought it would make sense to make
some of the information available to the firm’s clients. For example,
the firm could provide project management templates, tools, articles,
links to other sites, and an “Ask the Expert” feature to help build
relationships with current and future clients. Since JWD Consulting
emphasizes the importance of high-payoff projects, Joe also wanted
to see a business case for this project before proceeding.
Recall from Chapter 1 that project management consists of nine knowledge
areas: integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications,
risk, and procurement. Another important concept to understand is that projects
involve five project management process groups: initiating, planning, executing,
monitoring and controlling, and closing. Tailoring these process groups to meet
individual project needs increases the chance of success in managing projects. This
chapter describes each project management process group in detail through.
AI has made significant inroads into various fields, including project management. AI can enhance project management by automating repetitive tasks, providing data-driven insights, and improving decision-making. Here are some use cases of AI in project management, along with explanations and examples:
It is a tool to automate PM processes starting with scheduling, resource management, document management, procurement to invoicing and customer satisfaction
It is a collaborative tool that can bring all the project stakeholders on the same page and can help them achieve project objectives as a team
It is generally integrated with existing IT landscape to push and pull the required data to be able to give a one window visibility into all the aspects of the project
It shows required dashboards and reports to different types of stakeholders for better insights and decision making
Some of the tasks the software does are listed below:
Defining the project
Planning the project
Allocating resources to the project
Timing the project
Following, Reporting and Controlling
Producing the result.

Project Goals and Scope
Apex banking system is a reliable solution for the integration of all internal processes in a financial organization. It specializes in the core banking services. Also, it provides functional support for the products and services offered by the financial institution. The system complies with all reporting and accounting standards.
Each piece of software that has been developed is based on the set goals and objectives of the user. These goals and objectives are provided in the form of the requirements and the desired functionality of the given system. While addressing the issue of system requirements and requirement traceability, Apex banking system is going to look at the respective requirements for an online banking system with respect to the various areas of application as far as the system is concerned. Users in this system will be responsible check account balances, locking cards that have been lost or stolen, adjusting statements, waiving charges, view future auto deposits (2-3 days prior), and helping customer via phone if they decide to call in. Customer’s responsibilities are going to be checking account balance, requesting new accounts transfer or send money to someone, pay a bill, deposit check by picture, manage security such as passcodes, set up alerts and close accounts.
The system specifications in terms of the functionality of the system are defined by the functional requirements (Paetsch, Eberlein & Maurer, 2003). As far as the Apex online banking system is concerned, the requirement specifications are as described. Functional and the respective specifications for the system include what the system is expected to do to the user as well as to the other users of the system.
The system will provide the user with a clear user interface to facilitate the operations of the user to the system as far as banking is concerned. The user will be able to request to open an account online regardless of the user`s geographical location. The user will also be able to make the desired check deposits into the opened account regardless of the location of the user. The system is will provide the user with the services of bill paying. In case a user decides to terminate their banking services with the bank, the system will offer account termination services. The system will also facilitate the user to transfer funds from their account to any desired account. The specific requirements are as summarized below:
· Ability to request to open an account.
· Ability to login and ...
Industry experts, Bob Prieto, veteran executive with Fluor and Parsons Brinckerhoff, and Hans Hoppe with Parsons, share valuable information on the failure points of Mega Projects and proven methods of managing these projects to beat the odds and succeed. It is estimated that 9 out of 10 projects that cost $1 billion dollars or more, go over budget. Learn how we as an industry can change those numbers and improve the way the world builds.

Communicate priorities, direction Little Expense Reassign resources accurately Oversight reduces costs from disorganization Saving Time, Saving Money The PIA increases effectiveness. The methodology directly impacts the bottom line and improves communication and empowers line managers to improve their BAD decisions – Best Available Data. The PIA assists line managers with upward communication and helps then visualize a management framework where projects are viewed as on-time, in budget (variance reporting) and their strategic importance.
![Project Impact Assessment (PIA) methodology Not all projects are equal, yet they are often assigned resources and managed as if they were. To more effectively manage multiple projects a different executive view offers insight and guidance to line management. Mapping projects to a tiered, four segment matrix is an effective process for sharing information on status and urgency. From personal experience, managing 17 or more projects, many with financial impacts of several millions of dollars, this was also a survival technique for me and my clients. Communication up the ladder usually reflects a literal translation of executives’ directives. Executives use dashboards that frequently rely on variance reports for simplification. This tends to flatten project values, especially when there are more than a half dozen or so. The data analysis stresses timeliness and cost management. Both are absolutely critical; however, another dimension of prioritization can be effective as well. A simple methodology to assessing projects became a best practice. By categorizing projects to a four box grid, separated by urgency and time to delivery, a way of seeing projects presents a view not available with variance reports. To start this process, set criteria for grading the projects. Emphasizing the motivation for the project is important so that externally driven projects such as those touching customers are identified easily. A recent client’s criterion appears below: PriorityInternal or external source Strategic valueEase to implement Financial impactCost Resource impactCompetitive requirement “Management by objective works - if you know the objectives.
