Project management involves planning, organizing, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals within constraints of time, cost, and scope. A project has defined objectives, timeline, funding, and consumes resources. Successful project management delivers objectives on time, within budget, and to the required performance level while using resources effectively. Project benefits include improved planning, identification of responsibilities and problems, and better estimates for future projects. Project managers must coordinate with line managers who control resources and balance stakeholder interests for project success.
The document introduces project execution and the need to develop a Project Execution Plan to outline responsibilities and procedures for delivering agreed upon project outputs, as the plan expands on the Project Business Plan by specifying day-to-day management controls. A Project Execution Plan is developed when a project proposal is approved, and requires knowledge of developing detailed project plans, schedules, quality procedures, reporting, purchasing if needed, risk management, and cost control. The main outputs of project planning include the project execution plan and controls, progress reports, action item logs, project cost control, training plans, risk logs, and lessons learned.
The document outlines the key roles and responsibilities of a project manager. It discusses that a project manager is responsible for planning, scheduling, controlling, and closing a project. They must coordinate activities, allocate resources, manage costs and risks, and ensure projects are completed on time and on budget. The document also lists the main knowledge areas and stages of project management as well as difficulties project managers may face like the one-time nature of projects.
Project management is about acquiring or achieving the project goal and Most projects need to be broken down into a logical sequence of ‘phases’, known as the project life cycle.
This document provides an overview of project implementation. It discusses that project implementation involves putting the project proposal into action by converting project inputs into outputs. The key phases of implementation are project activation, which makes arrangements to start the project, and project operation, which transforms inputs into outputs. Implementation is usually led by an implementing agency, and other supporting organizations are considered cooperating agencies. An important part of implementation is developing a project implementation plan that outlines the schedule, organizational structure, financial management, reporting, and sustainability. Factors like political commitment, community involvement, and good management can influence whether a project is successfully implemented or not.
This document provides an introduction to project planning techniques including work breakdown structures (WBS), PERT charts, and Gantt charts. It defines each technique and provides examples. A WBS breaks a project into smaller deliverables and tasks. PERT charts show task relationships and durations using a network diagram. Gantt charts display tasks in a bar chart with start/end dates. The document outlines the steps to create each planning tool to identify tasks, determine sequences, estimate times, and develop the charts/tables needed for project scheduling and management.
Project management involves coordinating activities to complete a unique goal within constraints of time, cost, and quality. It became a separate field due to increased complexity of projects and need for specialized skills. A project has defined start and end points and creates a unique product or service. Project managers coordinate resources and processes to meet objectives while satisfying stakeholder needs.
This document discusses the elements, processes, and classifications of project management. It defines a project and project management. It outlines the five main processes of project management: initiation, planning, implementation, controlling, and closing. It also lists 11 elements of project management. Finally, it categorizes projects based on several classifications such as scale, technology, ownership, location, needs, and more. The document was prepared by students at Bhavnagar University for their project management course.

Network analysis techniques such as critical path method (CPM) and program evaluation and review technique (PERT) can be used to plan, manage, and control projects. CPM involves identifying all activities, their durations, and their logical sequence or precedence relationships using a network diagram of nodes and arrows. It allows determining the critical path that dictates the minimum project duration and identifying any activities that could delay the project if they slip. PERT extends CPM by using three time estimates per activity to model the uncertainty in activity durations through probability distributions.
The document discusses project planning and scheduling. It covers topics like work breakdown structure, project time scheduling, network diagrams, critical path method, Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), Gantt charts, and key terms used in project management like activities, milestones, float, baselines.

It lists the five process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. Under each process group are the twelve knowledge areas: integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, procurement, and their associated processes.
The project life cycle consists of four phases: initiation, planning, execution, and closure. The initiation phase involves establishing the business need, feasibility, terms of reference, project team, and office. The planning phase includes creating detailed plans for the project, resources, finances, quality, risks, acceptance, communications, and procurement. In the execution phase, deliverables are built while being monitored and controlled. Various management processes also occur. Finally, the closure phase involves performing project closure and reviewing project completion.
The document discusses project cost management. It defines key terms like life cycle costing, value analysis, types of costs (variable, fixed, direct, indirect), and cost versus price. It also covers the processes of planning cost management, estimating costs, and controlling costs. Planning cost management establishes policies and procedures for managing project costs. Estimating costs develops an approximation of resources needed to complete project activities. Controlling costs involves monitoring and influencing changes to the project budget.
This document provides an overview of software project management. It discusses key topics like the project life cycle, stakeholders, tools and techniques, and challenges of software projects. Several studies found that 31-53% of IT projects were cancelled or over budget.

Project management is a in-demand role found across organizations.
CRG DevCo’s advantages of outsourcing Project ManagementChris Gorga
Outsourcing project management provides several advantages over employing an in-house project manager. These include cost flexibility as outsourcing costs can increase or decrease based on needs, higher objectivity from an outside perspective, and exposure to new methodologies from specialists. Outsourcing is also generally lower cost than employment and allows an organization to take advantage of competition among providers.
The term ‘project management’ initiated its journey in the early 1950s. By definition, project management is the practice of planning and organizing an organization’s resources in order to move a specific task to completion. Before acquiring knowledge in project management, it is significant to know what a ‘project’ is. For this, you can avail our project management assignment help

1. Project Management
Project
A project is considered as a series of a tasks and activities. A project has a:
Specific objective
Starts at a specific date and time
Have funding limits.
Have funding limits (if applicable)
Consume human and nonhuman resources (i.e., money, people, equipment)
Are multifunctional (i.e., cut across several functional lines).
Successful project management
Successful project management can then be defined as having achieved the project objectives:
Within Time
Within Cost
at the desired performance/technology level
while utilizing the assigned resources effectively and efficiently
accepted by the customer
Project Management Benefits:
The potential benefits from project management are:
Identification of functional responsibilities to ensure that all activities are accounted for,
regardless of personnel turnover.
Minimizing the need for continuous reporting
Identification of time limits for scheduling
Identification of a methodology for trade-off analysis
Measurement of accomplishment against plans.
Early identification of problems so that corrective action may follow

2. Improved estimating capability for future planning
Knowing when objectives cannot be met or will be exceeded
Unfortunately, the benefits cannot be achieved without overcoming obstacles such as:
Project complexity
Customer’s special requirements and scope changes
Organizational restructuring
Project risks
Changes in technology
Forward planning and pricing
Project management is the art of creating the illusion that any outcome is the result
of a series of predetermined, deliberate acts when, in fact, it was dumb luck.
Project management is the planning, organizing, directing, and controlling of company resources for a
relatively short-term objective that has been established to complete specific goals and objectives.
Furthermore, project management utilizes the systems approach to management by having functional
personnel (the vertical hierarchy) assigned to a specific project (the horizontal hierarchy).
Classical management is usually considered to have five functions or principles:
Planning
Organizing
Staffing
Controlling
Directing
Short Term Project:
Not all industries have the same definitions for a short term project. Some examples are:
In engineering the project might be for six months or two years
In construction three to five years
In nuclear components, ten years
In insurance, two weeks.
Long-term projects:
Large – Term Projects which consume resources full-time, are usually set up as a separate division (if
large enough) or simply as a line organization.
Project Constraints:
Project management is designed to manage or control company resources on a given activity, within
time, within cost, and within performance. Major Project Constraints are:
Time
Cost
Performance
If the project is to be accomplished for an outside customer, then the project has a fourth
constraint: good customer relations.
3. Executives often select project managers based on who the customer is and what kind of customer
relations will be necessary.
Projects exist to produce deliverables. The person ultimately assigned as the project manager may very
well be assigned based upon the size, nature, and scope of the deliverables.
Deliverables:
Deliverables are outputs, or the end result of either the completion of the project or the end of a life-
cycle phase of the project. Deliverables are measurable, tangible outputs and can take such form as:
Hardware Deliverables: These are hardware items, such as a table, a prototype, or a piece of
equipment.
Software Deliverables: These items are similar to hardware deliverables but are usually paper
products, such as reports, studies, handouts, or documentation.
Some companies do not differentiate between hardware and software deliverables.
Interim Deliverables: These items can be either hardware or software deliverables and
progressively evolve as the project proceeds. An example might be a series of interim reports
leading up to the final report.
Stake- Holders:
Stakeholders are individuals or organizations that can be favorably or unfavorably impacted by the
project. As such, project managers must interface with these stakeholders, and many of the stakeholders
can exert their influence or pressure over the direction of the project.
Some stakeholders are referred to as “active” or “key” stakeholders that can possess decision-making
authority during the execution of the project. Each stakeholder can have his or her own set of objectives,
and this could place the project manager in a position of having to balance a variety of stakeholder
interests without creating a conflict-of-interest situation for the project manager.
Each company has its own categorization system for identifying stakeholders. A typical system might
be:
Organizational stakeholders
Executive officers
Line managers
Employees
Unions
Product/market stakeholders
Customers
Suppliers
Local committees
Governments (local, state, and federal)
General public
Capital market stakeholders
Shareholders
4. Creditors
Banks
Company Resources:
Most companies have six resources:
Money
Manpower
Equipment
Facilities
Materials
Information/technology
How to define the success of the Project:
Usually in the last twenty years project success is defined as the completion of an activity within the
constraints of time, cost, and performance. This was the definition used for the past twenty years or so.
Today, the definition of project success has been modified to include completion:
Within the allocated time period
Within the budgeted cost
At the proper performance or specification level
With acceptance by the customer/user
With minimum or mutually agreed upon scope changes
Without disturbing the main work flow of the organization
Without changing the corporate culture
The last three elements require further explanation. Very few projects are completed within the original
scope of the project. Scope changes are inevitable and have the potential to destroy not only the morale
on a project, but the entire project. Scope changes must be held to a minimum and those that are
required must be approved by both the project manager and the customer/user.
Project managers must be willing to manage (and make concessions/trade-offs, if necessary) such that
the company’s main work flow is not altered. Most project managers view themselves as self-employed
entrepreneurs after project go-ahead, and would like to divorce their project from the operations of the
parent organization. This is not always possible.
The project manager must be willing to manage within the guidelines, policies, procedures, rules, and
directives of the parent organization.
All corporations have corporate cultures, and even though each project may be inherently different, the
project manager should not expect his assigned personnel to deviate from cultural norms. If the company
has a cultural standard of openness and honesty when dealing with customers, then this cultural value
should remain in place for all projects, regardless of who the customer/user is or how strong the project
manager’s desire for success is.
As a final note, it should be understood that simply because a project is a success does not mean that the
company as a whole is successful in its project management endeavors.
Excellence in project management is defined as a continuous stream of successfully managed projects.
Any project can be driven to success through formal authority and strong executive meddling. But in
order for a continuous stream of successful projects to occur, there must exist a strong corporate
commitment to project management, and this commitment must be visible.
5. THE PROJECT MANAGER–LINE MANAGER INTERFACE:
Resource managers:
Resources are controlled by the line managers, functional managers, or, as they are often called,
resources managers.
Project Manager:
The project manager must control company resources within time, cost, and performance.
Actually, the project manager does not control any of these resources directly, except perhaps
money (i.e., the project budget).
Project Manager control those resources (which are temporarily loaned to them) through line
managers.
Why today we need the line managers?
Today, we have a new breed of project manager. Years ago, virtually all project managers were
engineers with advanced degrees. These people had a command of technology rather than merely an
understanding of technology. If the line manager believed that the project manager did in fact possess a
command of technology, then the line manager would allow the assigned functional employees to take
direction from the project manager. The result was that project managers were expected to manage
people. Most project managers today have an understanding of technology rather than a command of
technology. As a result, the accountability for the success of the project is now viewed as shared
accountability between the project manager and all affected line managers.
With shared accountability, the line managers must now have a good understanding of project
management, which is why more line managers are now becoming PMP®S.
Project managers are now expected to focus more so on managing the project’s deliverables rather than
providing technical direction to the project team. Management of the assigned resources is more often
than not a line function.
Another important fact is that project managers are treated as though they are managing part of a
business rather than simply a project, and as such are expected to make sound business decisions as well
as project decisions. Project managers must understand business principles.
In recent years, the rapid acceleration of technology has forced the project manager to become more
business oriented. According to Hans Thamhain:
The new breed of business leaders must deal effectively with a broad spectrum of
contemporary challenges that focus on time-to-market pressures, accelerating
technologies, innovation, resource limitations, technical complexities, social and
ethical issues, operational dynamics, cost, risks, and technology.
Another example of the need for the project manager to become more actively involved in business
aspects has been identified by Gary Heerkens. Heerkens provides several revelations of why business
knowledge has become important, a few of which are:
It really doesn’t matter how well you execute a project, if you’re working on the wrong project.
There are times when spending more money on a project could be smart business— even if you
exceed the original budget.
There are times when spending more money on a project could be smart business— even if the
project is delivered after the original deadline.
Forcing the project team to agree to an unrealistic deadline may not be very smart, from a
business standpoint.
6. A portfolio of projects that all generate a positive cash flow may not represent an organization’s
best opportunity for investment.
It should become obvious at this point that successful project management is strongly dependent on:
1. A good daily working relationship between the project manager and those line managers who
directly assign resources to projects.
2. The ability of functional employees to report vertically to line managers at the same time that
they report horizontally to one or more project managers.
Project managers depend on line managers. When the project manager gets in trouble, the only place he
can go is to the line manager because additional resources are almost always required to alleviate the
problems. When a line manager gets in trouble, he usually goes first to the project manager and requests
either additional funding or some type of authorization for scope changes.
Effective Project Management:
Effective project management requires an understanding of:
Quantitative tools and techniques
Organizational structures
Organizational behavior
Most people understand the quantitative tools for planning, scheduling, and controlling work. It is
imperative that project managers understand totally the operations of each line organization.
