The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services. In practice, the management of such distinct production approaches requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.
The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals within the given constraints. This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. The primary constraints are scope, time, quality and budget. The secondary — and more ambitious — challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to meet pre-defined objectives.
Project Management
Plans are worthless. Planning is essential. (Dwight D. Eisenhower )
Project management is the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria.
Project management approach breaks down and manages the work through a series of distinct steps:
INITIATING
Definition of roles, project structure, critical checkpoints and project goals.
PLANNING
Planning actions, timing, resources and costs.
EXECUTING & MONITORING
Coordinating the execution of the project plan and periodic control of timing, costs and deadlines.
CONTROLLING
Solving problems.
CLOSING
Reporting on the project performance and close the project administratively.
