What is 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 47 logically grouped project management processes, which are
categorized into five Process Groups:
• Initiating
• Planning
• Executing
• Monitoring and Controlling
• Closing

What is a project?
• Temporary endeavor with a beginning and an end
• Creates a unique product, service or result
• A series of inputs that rely on tools and techniques to create a specific output
to complete a unique outcome
TEMPORARY AND UNIQUE

Not projects…
•Operational tasks
•Repetitive tasks or activities
•Activities that sustain the business
ONGOING AND REPETITIVE
Examples of Projects• Erecting a new building
• Moving to a new location
• Expanding on an existing location
• New software or systems
• Upgrading the network
• Human Resource assessment
• ISO 9001 Initiatives
• Marketing Campaign
• SOX Compliance and Technology Options

What does a project manager have to know?• Project Management Processes
• Scope Management
• Time Management
• Cost Management
• Quality Management
• Human Resource Management
• Communications Management
• Risk Management
• Procurement Management
• Professional and Social Responsibility
“Triple Constraint”
• COST – Total expense of project
• TIME – Duration of project
• SCOPE – What the project will accomplish
AND
• QUALITY – Degree to which the project fulfills requirements
• RISK – Identify and prevent what can go wrong
• CUSTOMER SATISFACTION – Define it!!
Why Project Management?
- 90% of software projects are completed LATE
- 50% of projects will cost almost 200% their original estimates
- 30% of IT projects are scrapped

Organizations are different!
Functional Organization
• Department managers have authority and work with assigned project managers
Projectized Organization
• Company runs on projects…project managers are the authority
Matrix Organization
• Project managers and functional managers work together at equal levels in various
structures

Two methodologies are required for successful projects…
• “Life Cycle” – What needs to be done to do the work
• “Process” – What needs to be done to manage the project
Life Cycles work in conjunction with management process…
• Construction - Feasibility, Planning, Design, Production, Turnover and
Startup
• Information Systems – Requirements analysis, high-level design,
detailed design, coding, testing, installation, conversion and turnover to
operations
Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle
• Compliments of W. Edwards Deming…
• Initiating = Start the cycle
• Planning = Plan
• Executing = Do
• Monitoring and Controlling = Check and act
• Closing = Ends the cycle
Parts of each process…
• Initiating = Select a Project Manager, Develop Charter
• Planning = Scope Statement, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• Executing = Produce Scope, Implement Changes
• Monitoring and Controlling = Measure Progress and Risk, Verify Scope
• Closing = Formal Acceptance, Lessons Learned, Archive Information
Project Charter
• Project Description
• Project Team
• Project Manager
• Project Sponsors
• Resources
• Goals and Objectives
• Business Case
• Costs
• Benefits
• Payback Period
• Formal Approval (Sign Off)
Project Scope
• Project Scope
• The work that must be performed to deliver a product, service, or result with the specified
features and functions.
Project Scope Statement
• The narrative description of the project scope, including major deliverables, project
objectives, project assumptions, project constraints, and a statement of work, that provides
a documented basis for making future project decision and for confirming or developing
a common understanding of project scope among the stakeholders.

Project Scope Statement
• Project Justification
• Product Description
• Major Deliverables
• Success Criteria
• Measurable business results
• Completion Criteria
• Time and Cost Estimates
• Assumptions
• Constraints (Risks)
• Approval Requirements

Project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• WBS definition
• A deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the
project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. It
organizes and defines the total scope of the project work. The WBS is decomposed into
work packages. The deliverable orientation of the hierarchy includes both internal and
external deliverables.
Source: PMBOK
• A hierarchy of “work packages” to be performed to complete the project

Project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• WBS is
• Comprehensive classification of the project scope
• Used to create a project management plan
• Estimating Duration, Cost, Resources
• WBS is not
• List of tasks
• Schedule
• Project plan
• Responsibility assignment matrix
• Strategy map
Project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• 100% Rule
• Over – Over project requirements
• Gold Plating…increased costs
• Under – Did not meet requirements
• Risk of project failure (not meeting “triple constraint”)

Critical Path Method
• The critical path is defined as the longest path in the diagram and in our example it is path B-C-D that is
the critical path of 9 weeks.

Agile Project Management
• Agile project management is an iterative approach to planning and guiding
project processes. Just as in agile software development, an agile project is
completed in small sections called iterations.

Terms of Warning
1. Scope Creep – uncontrolled growth or changes in the
project scope
2. Gold Plating – error of continuing to work on a project
or task well past the point where the extra effort is
worth the value it adds
3. “Golden Creeper” – adding items to the project because
they look good – Andrew Term
