3. It’s a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique Product, Service or Result.
Projects have a specific purpose and definite beginning and end point Note: The operation goes on continuously .
When the end of a project is reached?
– The project's objectives have been achieved.
–The organization terminate the project because,
 Its objectives will not or cannot be met,
The need for the project no longer exists
–A project may also be terminated if the client (customer, sponsor, or champion) wishes to terminate it.
Every project creates a unique product, service, or result.
Examples of Projects …..
What is a Project?

4. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.
–Project management is accomplished through the appropriate application and integration of 47 logically grouped project management processes,
which are categorized into five Process Groups.
Initiating,
Planning,
Executing,
Monitoring and Controlling,
Closing.
–It is an iterative & progressively elaborated activity .
Which means,
1.Continuously improving and detailing a plan
2.More accurate estimates become available.
3.Define work and manage it in a greater level of detail.

5. Relationship Portfolio, Program & Project

6. A portfolio refers to a collection of projects, programs, sub portfolios, and operations managed as a group in a coordinated fashion to achieve strategic objectives.
Relationship Portfolio, Program & Project
A projects or programs are linked to The organization’s strategic plan by Means of the organization’s portfolio.
A Projects or programs within the Portfolio may not necessarily be interdependent or directly related

- Market demand - Strategic opportunity/business need -Environmental consideration - Social need - Customer request - Technological advance - Legal requirement

14. Influences (EEF) Organizational Structures

15. Influences Organizational Structures
1. Staff members are grouped by specialty, Production, marketing ,,,,,,.
2.Specialties may be further subdivided into functional units mechanical, electrical, engineering,,,,.
3. Each department in a functional organization will do its project work independently of other departments.
1.Its organizational units called departments.
2.Department directly to the project manager or provide support services to the various projects
3.Project managers have a great deal of independence and authority
4.Team members are often co-located.
5.Most of the organization’s resources are involved in project work

16. Influences Organizational Structures
1. Expediter works as staff assistant and communications coordinator.
2.Expediter can't personally make or enforce decisions.
3.Project coordinators have power to make some decisions, have some authority, and report to a higher-level manager.
The role of a project manager is more of a Coordinator
or Expediter.
Weak matrix organizations maintain many of the characteristics of
a functional organization.
Does not provide the PM with the full authority over the project & project funding.
1.Have full-time project managers with considerable authority
2.Have full-time project administrative staff.

17. Influences Organizational Structures

18. Influences Organizational Process Assets
Organizational process assets may be grouped into two categories:
processes and procedures.
corporate knowledge base.
Throughout the project, the project team members may update and add to the organizational process assets as necessary.
Inputs to most planning processes.

19. Influences Enterprise Environmental Factors
EEF refer to conditions, not under the control of the project team, that influence, constrain, or direct the project.
EEF may enhance or constrain project management options, and may have a positive or negative influence on the outcome (Risk Management).
Inputs to most planning processes.

20. Project Stakeholders, Gavernance & success

Part-Time.

22. Project Life Cycle Product, Projects & Phases
Project Lifecycle

23. Project Life Cycle Characteristics

24. Project Life Cycle Characteristics
While these characteristics remain present to some extent in almost all project life cycles, they are not always present to the same degree. For example, Adaptive life cycles are developed with the intent of keeping stakeholder influences higher and the costs of changes lower throughout the life cycle than in predictive life cycles.

25. Project Life Cycle Characteristics & Project Phases
The life cycle provides the basic framework for managing the project, regardless of the specific work involved
Project life cycles can range from Predictive (plan-driven) approaches to adaptive (change-driven) approaches.
A project life cycle is the series of phases that a project passes through from its initiation to its closure.

26. Project Life Cycle Predictive

27. Project Life Cycle Iterative and incremental

28. Project Life Cycle Adaptive

29. Project Life Cycle Phase-to-Phase Relationships
Phase
•A project phase is a collection of logically related activities in the project that aimed to complete one or more deliverables.
•A project may be divided into any number of phases.
•The phase is closed with transfer(hand-off) the Work Product (deliverables of phase) and approved it.
•The end of phase is called a stage gate, milestone, phase review, phase gate or kill point.

30. Project Management Process Groups

31. Project Management Process Groups
The links among the processes in the Project Management Process Groups are often iterative in nature. For example, the Planning Process Group provides the Executing Process Group with a documented project management plan early in the project and then updates the project management plan if changes occur as the project progresses.

32. Project Information
The project data are continuously collected and analyzed during the dynamic context of the project execution and transformed to become project information during various Controlling processes through analyzed in context and integrated based on relationships across areas.
Work performance reports.
The physical or electronic representation of work performance information
