What is a Project?
Characteristics A project is a unique endeavor to produce a
set of deliverables within clearly specifiedconstraints of time, cost and quality
Projects are different from businessoperations, in terms of uniqueness,
timescale, budget, resources, risk andchange.

What is a Project?
Characteristics Uniqueness . Every project is different from the last, whereas
operational activities typically involve repetitive (if notidentical) processes.
Timescale . A project has clearly specified start and end dateswithin which deliverables are produced to meet the customer'srequirements.
Budget . A project has a maximum limit to the expenditurewithin which the deliverables must be produced, to meet thecustomer's requirement.
Resources . A project is allocated a specified amount of labor,equipment and materials at the start. Risk . A project entails uncertainty and therefore carries
business risk. Change . The purpose of a project is typically to improve an
organization through the implementation of business change.

Project versus Operational (1)
Usually share similar characteristics Performed by people
Constrained by limited resources Planned, executed and controlled
Unlike operational which is ongoing
and repetitive, projects are temporaryand unique

Are unique in nature No repetitive processes Different from last project
Have defined timescales Clear start and end dates Meet specified customer requirement
Have approved budget allocated level of financial expenditure Meet specified customer requirement

Project versus Strategic Planning
Usually organized to address areas beyond anorganization's operational limits
Utilized as a means to achieve an organization'sstrategic plans
Usually authorized as a result or to meet thefollowing strategic considerations
Market Demand Organizational Need Customer Request Technological Advance A Legal or Regulatory Requirement

Why adopt a Project ManagementMethodology?
Without using a methodology from the outset:
Project Teams start building deliverables without definingthe project's scope and objective
Project roles and responsibilities are unclear, and linesof communications are undefine
There are no quality targets set, so it's difficult to knowwhen deliverables are really finished
The customer can never be certain of the project'sprogress or when it is likely to be complete Project Managers must attempt to manage change, risks
and issues "on the fly".

Why adopt a Project ManagementMethodology?
By using best practice project management methodology, you will:
Reduce time spent completing project deliverables Decrease cost by saving time and effort to build deliverables Minimize change , risks and issues by defining your project properly
before you begin Assure quality of deliverables, increasing your likely of meeting the
customer's requirements Monitor and control the project more efficiently, especially during
the Execution phase Manage suppliers more effectively with comprehensive supplier
contracts Improve staff performance by clarifying roles, responsibilities and
delivery expectations Increase the likelihood of overall projectsuccess .

PMBOK "The PMBOK is the sum of knowledge within theprofession of project management that is standardizedby ISO.
P RINCE2"The planning, monitoring and control of all aspects of the project and the motivation of all those involved in it toachieve the project objectives on time and to thespecified cost, quality and performance.
PROJECT A temporary endeavour with a finite completion dateundertaken to create a unique product or service.Projects bring form or function to ideas or needs.

Concept of the Triple Constraint
All project need to be performed and delivered undercertain constraints
These are scope, time and Cost Known as the "Project Management Triangle" These factors are interdependent and changes
in one affects the other factors These factors directly affect the "fourth constraint"
which is quality Sometimes, "Labor" replaces the "Scope"
constraint in some Project Management models

Concept of the Triple ConstraintTime
The time-related processes aim to determine dependencies and the duration of activities and to ensure timely completion of the project.
The time-related processes are: - Planning of activity dependencies - Estimation of duration - Schedule of development - Schedule control
addresses the issues of overtime and delays
7/31/2019 Concepts of Project Management_2
29/39
Concept of the Triple ConstraintCost
The cost-related processes aim to forecast and manage the project costs. This should ensure that the project is completed within budget constraints, and that cost information can be provided to the originating organization.
The cost-related processes are: - Cost estimation - Budgeting
- Cost control
addresses the issues of over costs and deficits

Concept of the Triple ConstraintScope
Overall definition of what is to beaccomplished
Specific description of the end results(e.g. quality) Sometimes, replaced or synonymous
with Specification.addresses the issues of scope creep
and under scope

External Factors Risk Often defined as potential points of failure Usually associated with "negative" events Can also be categorized as "positive" events (e.g. optimization risk, faster completion rates)
Customers Either internal (e.g. persons/groups in the organization) or external (e.g. customer, agencies or regulators) May dictate the time, cost and scope of the
project Area of negotiation and balancing of resources versus client requirements

External Factors
Suppliers Either internal (e.g. persons/groups in
the organization) or external (e.g. approved supplier, client supplied) Usually a very critical area for monitoring Relationship with suppliers is usually the "key
