Chapter 1 What Is a Project?


A project is a sequence of unique, complex, and connected activitieshaving one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a specific time, within budget, and according to specifications.

What is a Project?

- Effective Project Management , Wysocki


A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result

-- Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), 2004

A project is a combination of human and nonhuman sources pulled together in a temporary organization to achieve a specified purpose.

-- Cleland and Kerzner, 1985


Projects Vary in Size and Scope• NASA shuttle launch• Building a boat• Building a hospital• Organizing the Olympic games• Developing a new software program• Getting a university degree


What is Project Management?

Project management is a set of principles and tools for

•Defining•Planning•Executing•Controlling•Completing a PROJECT


Why is Project Management Important?

• Organize your approach• Generate a credible schedule• Track progress and control your project• Identify where to focus your efforts • Identify problems early – before they are

crises• Saves you TIME….MONEY


• 66% of all IT projects fail, come in over budget or run past the original deadline

• Every year, $55 billion is wasted on failed IT projects in the U.S.

Only one in three software projects will turn out to be successful. According to Standish Group’s 2015 Chaos report, 66% of technology projects (based on the analysis of 50,000 projects worldwide) end in partial or total failure. More surprisingly, these statistics have been the same for the last five years, the report shows. Furthermore, 17% of large IT projects go so badly that they can threaten the very existence of a company.

• Projects are oriented towards a goal.• There is something unique about every

project.• Projects have a finite duration.• Projects require coordination of

interrelated activities.

Project Management Criteria


Project Characteristics• Defined goal• Primary sponsor or customer• Set of activities

– Unique, complex, sequenced• Start & finish

– Temporary, time frame for completion• Limited resources

– Dollars, people• Uncertainty, risk


Defining a Project• Sequence of Activities• Complex Activities• Connected Activities• One Goal• Specified Time• Within Budget• According to Specification


• Project management is a set of principles and tools for– Defining– Planning– Executing– Controlling . . . and – Completing a PROJECT




• PM is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements. (PMI)

• PM– is an art.– is a science.– has a set of tools and methods.

What Is a Program?

The Scope Triangle: Time, Cost, Resources


Project Creep (Wysocki)• Scope creep

– any change not in original plan– IT particularly prone to creep– major challenge for PMs

• Hope creep– will catch up next week..(The team members

“hope” they can catch up by the next report period or project team meeting to be back on schedule)

• Effort creep– 95-99% complete but never 100%– Feature creep

• team member adds features
