17. Why Project Management?
The Need for Project Management:
Before starting the Project Management science, the only way to
improve productivity was to demand harder and longer hours from
workers
Using Project Management tools, most of the organizations and
project managers have increased their methodological effectiveness
in dealing with project problems and increased their operational
overall performance.

18. • What Does Project Management Give to Managers ?
Project Management gives managers:
• greater control over extremely complex projects,
• greater usage of available resources, and
• more utilization of project time.
18

19. About Project Management
• History:
The origin of Project Management science started in the
later half of 19th century, by studying and defining the
“Work Process” from a simple scientific Process
perspective by Frederic Taylor (1856:1915). He is
called the father of scientific management.
• Taylor's associate, Henry Gantt (1861:1919) who is
considered to be the forefather of project management,
studied in great detail the order of operations in work.
19

20. About Project Management
• History:
However Project Management techniques
revolution did not start until the early 1950s
after WWII when complex network diagrams
called PERT charts are used to control
complex projects.
Later on, Project Management practitioners
developed the concept of project life cycle and
included the concept of “Work Breakdown
Structure” WBS .
20

21. PMI & PMP
• The Project Management Institute (PMI) is project
management professional association with over 500,000
member. Established in 1969 and located in US.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) credential
recognizes demonstrated knowledge and skill in leading and
directing project teams and in delivering project results within
the constraints of schedule, budget and resources.

24. 1 – INTRODUCTION

25. Advantages of Using Formal Project Management
• Better control of financial, physical, and human resources
• Improved customer relations
• Shorter development times
• Lower costs
• Higher quality and increased reliability
• Higher profit margins
• Improved productivity
• Better internal coordination
• Higher worker morale (less stress)

26. What is a project?
“A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to
create a unique product, service or result”
PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge)
Is progressively elaborated
Distinguishing characteristics of each unique project will be
progressively detailed as the project is better understood.
Progressive Elaboration -- definition
Continuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and
specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the
project progresses, and thereby producing more accurate and complete
plans that result from the successive iterations of the planning process.

27. What is a project?
What do we mean by the word TEMPORARY?
Temporary means:
• Definite beginning and end. Not a continuous process.
• With defined project objectives (scope, time, cost, and
quality)
• Team disbanded upon completion.
Temporary does not necessarily mean Short in duration!
Projects can last for several years!!
All that temporary means is that project duration is finite, not
ongoing.

28. What is a project?
Temporary does not mean:
The product of the project will also be temporary.
Most projects are done to produce products,
service or result that is long lasting.
Examples: a bridge, a dam, a building, a park
Some projects produce a product or service for a
particular occasion.
Examples: Olympics, Fashion show, Grammy awards

29. What is a project?
What do we mean by the words A UNIQUE?
Unique product, service, or result
Projects involve creating a product, service, or result that has
not been done exactly the same way before EVEN IF YOU
HAVE BEEN DOING SAME CATEGORY OF PROJECTS
MANY TIMES OVER!
Different CLIENTS, REQUIREMENTS, LOCATIONS,
etc.

30. Differences between Project and Operation
 Similarities with Operations/ Process :
Performed by people (even one person)
Constrained by limited resource
Planned, executed and controlled series of tasks
and activities
performed to achieve organizational objectives or
strategic plan
 Differences from
Project Operation/Process
Temporary On-going & repetitive
Unique Similar outputs
Resources on Permanent resources

31. What is a Management ?
“To manage is to forecast and plan,
to organize, to command, to
coordinate, and to control”
“Henry Fayol”
“Management is the process of using
the available resources with best
way to achieve the organization
goals”

33. What is a project management?
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 the 42 logically grouped project management
processes comprising the 5 Process Groups.
These 5 Process Groups are:
Initiating,
Planning,
Executing,
Monitoring and Controlling, and
Closing

34. Project Management Knowledge Areas
Four core knowledge areas lead to specific project objectives.
 Project scope management involves defining and managing all the work required
to complete the project successfully.
 Project time management includes estimating how long it will take to complete the
work, developing an acceptable project schedule, and ensuring timely completion
of the project.
 Project cost management consists of preparing and managing the budget for the
project.
 Project quality management ensures that the project will satisfy the stated or
implied needs for which it was undertaken.

35. Project Management Knowledge Areas
• Four facilitating knowledge areas are the means through which the
project objectives are achieved.
Project human resource management is concerned with making effective
use of the people involved with the project.
Project communications management involves generating, collecting,
disseminating, and storing project information.
Project risk management includes identifying, analyzing, and responding
to risks related to the project.
Project procurement management involves acquiring or procuring goods
and services for a project from outside the performing organization.
• One knowledge area (project integration management) affects and
is affected by all of the other knowledge areas.

38. Foundational Terms and Concepts
• Essential Terms
• Think of a process as a package of inputs,
tools, and outputs used together to do
something on the project.
38

39. Projects and Strategic Planning
• Projects are means of
Achieving organization’s strategic plan.
Organizing activities that cannot be addressed within the organizations
normal operational limits.
• Projects are typically authorized as a result of one or more of the following strategic
considerations:
Market demand
Strategic opportunity/business need
Customer request
Technological advancement
Legal requirements
Ecological / Environmental Impacts
Social need

40. project management
Managing a project typically includes:
Identifying requirements,
Addressing the various needs, concerns, and expectations of the
stakeholders as the project is planned and carried out,
Balancing the competing project constraints including, but not limited
to:
Scope,
Quality,
Schedule,
Budget,
Resources, and
Risk.

41. The Triple Constraints
Time: Finish on time
Cost: Complete within budget
Quality: Meet performance
requirements and quality
targets.
 Scope: All deliverables are
completed.

43. The Project Manager (PM)
“Accountability is the one managerial task that
cannot be delegated. There must be ONE
person whose responsibility is to make a
project work; the Project Manager”,
Norman Augustine,
President and CEO,
Lookheed Martin Corp.
43

44. Role of a Project Manager (PM)
• PM is the person assigned by the performing
organization to achieve the project objectives
Effective Project Management requires:
• Understanding and applying the knowledge, tools
and techniques recognized as good practice
• Possessing the needed characteristics of:
1. Knowledge
2. Performance
3. Personal

47. Project Management, Program
Management, and Portfolio Management
“Project Management exists in a broader context governed
by Program Management and Portfolio Management.”
Organizational Strategies and Priorities are linked and have relationships
- Between portfolios and programs,
- Between programs and individual projects!
PMO
Port folio
Program
Project s & Operat ion

48. Program & Portfolio
Organizational Planning decides prioritization among
the projects, having regard to:
- Strategic plan
- Funding
- Risk
This means finds and support for component projects
is provided on the basis of risk categories, specific
lines of business, or general type of projects (internal
process improvement or infrastructure projects).

49. Portfolio Management
A portfolio is a collection of projects or programs and other
work that are grouped together to facilitate effective
management of that work to meet strategic business
objectives.
Portfolio Management help their organizations
make wise investment decisions
by helping to select and analyze projects from a strategic
perspective

50. Program Management
A program is:
“a group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain
benefits and control not available from managing them individually.”
A program manager provides leadership and direction for the project
managers heading the projects within the program.
ADVANTAGES
Decreased risk
Economies of Scale
Program Management: the centralized coordinated management of a
program to achieve the program’s strategic objectives and benefits.

53. Project Management VS. Project Portfolio Management

54. Project Management Office
A project management office (PMO):
is a department that centralizes the management of projects.
A PMO usually takes one of three roles:
• Project Support:
Provide project management guidance to project managers in
business units.
• Project Management Process/Methodology:
Develop and implement a consistent and standardized
process.
• Training:
Conduct training programs or collect requirements for an
outside company

55. Project Management Office (PMO) – Cont’d
• Home for project managers:
– Maintain a centralized office from which project managers are loaned
out to work on projects.
• Internal consulting and mentoring:
–Advise employees about best practices.
• Project management software tools:
–Select and maintain project management tools for use by employees.
• Portfolio management:
– Establish a staff of program managers who can manage multiple
projects that are related, such as infrastructure technologies, desktop
applications and so on, and allocate resources accordingly.

56. A primary function of a PMO is to support project managers in a
variety of ways which may include, but are not limited to:
Managing shared resources across all projects administered by
the PMO;
Identifying and developing project management methodology,
best practices, and standards;
Coaching, mentoring, training, and oversight;
Monitoring compliance with project management standards
policies, procedures, and templates via project audits;
Developing and managing project policies, procedures,
templates, and other shared documentation (organizational
process assets); and
Coordinating communication across projects.
Project Management Office

57. Differences between the role of project managers and a PMO may
include the following:
The project manager focuses on the specified project objectives, while
the PMO manages major program scope changes which may be seen as
potential opportunities to better achieve business objectives.
The project manager controls the assigned project resources to best meet
project objectives while the PMO optimizes the use of shared
organizational resources across all projects.
The project manager manages the constraints (scope, schedule, cost, and
quality, etc.) of the individual projects while the PMO manages the
methodologies, standards, overall risk/opportunity, and
interdependencies among projects at the enterprise level.
Project Management Office

58. Stakeholders
Some examples of project stakeholders

59. Enterprise Environmental Factors
• Refer to both internal & external environmental factors that surround or
influence a project’s success
• As an input in almost all project management process
• May enhance or constrain project management options
• May have positive or negative influence on the outcome
• Examples:
 Organizational culture, structure,
and processes
 Government or industry standards
 Infrastructure
 Existing human resources
 Personnel administration
 Company work authorization
systems
 Marketplace conditions
 Stakeholder risk tolerances
 Political climate
 Organization’s established
communications channels
 Commercial databases
 Project management information

60. 2 – PROJECT LIFE CYCLE AND
ORGANIZATION

61. The Project Life Cycle
A project life cycle is a collection of generally sequential and sometimes
overlapping project phases whose name and number are determined by
the management and control needs of the organization or organizations
involved in the project, the nature of the project itself, and its area of
application.
No matter how large or small, simple or complex, all projects can be
mapped to the following life cycle structure:
Starting the project,
Organizing and preparing,
Carrying out the project work, and
Closing the project.

62. Project Life Cycle (PLC)

63. Project Monitoring, measuring,
and taking corrective action
Approach to
executing project
Commitment to
executing project
Coordinating people and
other resources
Formal product
acceptance and
end of project
63

64. Over Lapping the Project Management Processes

65. Project Life Cycle Characteristics
• Uncertainty and risk are highest in the beginning.
• The chances of successfully completing the project
are therefore lowest at the start.
• But as we proceed, the uncertainty, risk become
progressively reduced, and our chances of
successfully completing the project become
progressively brighter

66. Project Life Cycle Characteristics

67. Project Phases
Project phases are divisions within a project where extra control is needed to
effectively manage the completion of a major deliverable.
Project phases are typically completed sequentially, but can overlap in some
project situations.
A project phase is not a Project Management Process Group.
All phases have similar characteristics
When phases are sequential, the close of a phase ends with some form of
transfer or handoff of the work product produced as the phase deliverable.
This phase end represents a natural point to reassess the effort underway
and to change or terminate the project if necessary. These points are referred
to as phase exits, milestones, phase gates, decision gates, stage gates, or kill
points.
The work has a distinct focus that differs from any other phase. This often
involves different organizations and different skill sets.
The primary deliverable or objective of the phase requires an extra degree of
control to be successfully achieved.

68. Phase-to-Phase Relationships
There are three basic types of phase-to-phase relationships:
A sequential relationship, where a phase can only start once the
previous phase is complete. The step-by-step nature of this approach
reduces uncertainty, but may eliminate options for reducing the
schedule.
An overlapping relationship, where the phase starts prior to
completion of the previous one. Overlapping phases may increase
risk and can result in rework if a subsequent phase progresses
before accurate information is available from the previous phase.
An iterative relationship, where only one phase is planned at any
given time and the planning for the next is carried out as work
progresses on the current phase and deliverables. This approach is
useful in largely undefined, uncertain, or rapidly changing
environments such as research, but it can reduce the ability to
provide long term planning.

69. Product vs. Project Life Cycle Relationships
The product life cycle consists of generally sequential, non-overlapping
product phases determined by the manufacturing and control need of the
organization.
All projects have a purpose or objective, but in those cases where the
objective is a service or result, there may be a life cycle for the service or
result, not a product life cycle.
When the output of the project is related to a product, there are many
possible relationships, for e.g.:
The development of a new product could be a project on its own.
Alternatively, an existing product might benefit from a project to add
new functions or features, or a project might be created to develop a new
model.

70. Product Life Cycle & Project Life Cycle

71. Organizational Influences on Project Management
The organizational culture, style, and structure influence how projects
are performed. An organization’s degree of project management maturity
and its project management systems can also influence the project.
When a project involves external entities as part of a joint venture or
partnering, the project will be influenced by more than one enterprise.

72. Organizational Cultures and Styles
Cultures and styles may have a strong influence on a project’s ability to
meet its objectives. Cultures and styles are typically known as “cultural
norms.” The “norms” include a common knowledge regarding how to
approach getting the work done, what means are considered acceptable
for getting the work done, and who is influential in facilitating the work
getting done.
Most organizations have developed unique cultures that manifest in
numerous ways including, but not limited to:
Shared visions, values, norms, beliefs, and expectations,
Policies, methods, and procedures,
View of authority relationships, and
Work ethic and work hours.
The organizational culture is an enterprise environmental factor

73. Types of Organizational Structures (1)
Functional
• Organization is grouped
by areas of specialization
• Project generally occur
within a single department
Projectized
• Entire company is
organized by projects
• Personnel are assigned
and report to a project
manager

74. Types of Organizational Structures (2)
Weak Matrix
• Power rest with the
functional manager
• Power of project manager
= coordinator or
expediter
Balanced Matrix
