comprising a set of interrelated processes and tools, ranging from simple to complex, and is based on the accepted principles of management used for planning, estimating and controlling work activities with a view to developing specifically defined outputs that are to be delivered by a certain time, to a defined quality standard and with a given level of resources so that the project goal and outcomes/benefits are realized.
Effective project management is essential for the success of any project – whether in the private or public sectors – and irrespective of its category, size and complexity.
The document discusses project management frameworks and their key phases. A framework provides a standardized, scalable set of best practices for project delivery. It establishes a common structure and language for project teams. The frameworks break large projects into more manageable stages, ensuring executive approval and oversight. The phases covered are initiation, planning, execution, and closure. Initiation involves identifying needs, alternatives, and requirements. Planning develops detailed requirements, schedules, budgets, and risk plans. Execution consists of building deliverables, monitoring progress, and managing changes. Closure includes final reporting, acceptance, and lessons learned activities.
This document provides an overview of a Project Management training program.

ensure tasks are done with the proper schedule, budget, & quality.
Project Management – Discipline for how to manage work.

organizes, prioritizes & executes on the work they do each day.

Task management:
• Simpler work. e.g. a handful of related actions that can all be
completed by the same person in a shorter period of time.
Project management:
• Complex work. e.g. lots of actions, multiple resources,
impacting multiple stakeholders, schedule deadlines, lots of
requirements, complex scope, fixed budget, etc.

Not every project that uses Project Management will be free of these problems,
but projects have significantly fewer problems when following best practices.

WHY DO PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
Project management as a methodology comes
from years of people struggling to get things
done, learning from their failures,

expectations on each project, there is
always room to improve.
• This survey helps to gather feedback
about the Project Owner’s experience
with the project and identify
improvement areas.

measure the success or failure of each
project in specific areas, and overall.
Scores and stored in the Project Feedback Surveys Smartsheet
29. Alianza Confidential
HOW DO YOU INVITE THE PROJECT OWNER TO
COMPLETE A PROJECT FEEDBACK SURVEY?
• Ryan sends out the invitation emails
for the OEP projects.
• This survey can be filled out
independently, or with the Project
Manager for direct feedback, based on
the preference of the Project Owner.
• As a Project Manager, you should be
familiar with these feedback
questions so you are aware of how
your project will be graded once the
project is completed.
