Introduction
Many organizations today have a new or renewed
interest in project management.
Computer hardware, software, networks, and the use of
interdisciplinary and global work teams have radicallychanged the work environment.
The U.S. spends $2.3 trillion on projects every year, or
one-quarter its gross domestic product, and the worldas a whole spends nearly $10 trillion of its $40.7 gross
product on projects of all kinds.*

What Is a Project?
A project is “a temporary endeavor undertaken to
create a unique product, service, or result.”*
Operations is work done to sustain the business.
A project ends when its objectives have been
reached, or the project has been terminated.
Projects can be large or small and take a short or
long time to complete.
*PMI, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK® Guide) (2004), p. 5.

Project Attributes
A project:
Has a unique purpose.
Is temporary.
Is developed using progressive elaboration.
Requires resources, often from various areas.
Should have a primary customer or sponsor.
The project sponsor usually provides the direction andfunding for the project.
Involves uncertainty.
![Page 15: cbjijinhioi](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022021320/577cd0311a28ab9e7891a809/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Project and Program Managers
Project managers work with project sponsors, project
teams, and other people involved in projects to meet
project goals.
Program: “A group of related projects managed in acoordinated way to obtain benefits and control not
available from managing them individually.”*
Program managers oversee programs and often act as
bosses for project managers.
*PMI, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK® Guide) (2004), p. 16.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/cbjijinhioi 16/45Introduction to Project Management, Fourth Edition 16
The Triple Constraint
Every project is constrained in different ways by its:
Scope goals: What work will be done?
Time goals: How long should it take to complete?
Cost goals: What should it cost?
It is the project manager’s duty to balance these
three often-competing goals.
![Page 17: cbjijinhioi](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022021320/577cd0311a28ab9e7891a809/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Project Management
Successful projectmanagement meansmeeting all threegoals (scope, time,and cost) – and
satisfying the project’s sponsor!

Nine Project Management
Knowledge Areas
Knowledge areas describe the key competencies that project managers must develop.
Four core knowledge areas lead to specific project
objectives (scope, time, cost, and quality). Four facilitating knowledge areas are the means through
which the project objectives are achieved (humanresources, communication, risk, and procurementmanagement).
One knowledge area (project integration management)affects and is affected by all of the other knowledgeareas.
All knowledge areas are important!

Project Management Tools and
Techniques
Project management tools and techniques assist project
managers and their teams in various aspects of project
management. Specific tools and techniques include:
Project charters, scope statements, and WBS (scope).
Gantt charts, network diagrams, critical path
analyses, critical chain scheduling (time).
Cost estimates and earned value management (cost).

Project Portfolio Management
Many organizations support an emerging business
strategy of project portfolio management:
Organizations group and manage projects as aportfolio of investments that contribute to the entire
enterprise’s success.

Why the Improvements?
“The reasons for the increase in successful projects
vary. First, the average cost of a project has been
more than cut in half . Better tools have been created
to monitor and control progress and better skilledproject managers with better management
processes are being used. The fact that there are
processes is significant in itself.”*

Importance of Leadership Skills
Effective project managers provide leadership by
example.
A leader focuses on long-term goals and big-pictureobjectives while inspiring people to reach those goals.
A manager deals with the day-to-day details of meeting
specific goals.

History of Project Management
Some people argue that building the Egyptian
pyramids was a project, as was building the Great
Wall of China.
Most people consider the Manhattan Project to be
the first project to use “modern” project
management.
This three-year, $2 billion (in 1946 dollars) project
had a separate project and technical managers.

Each box is a project task from the WBS. Arrows show dependencies
between tasks. The bolded tasks are on the critical path. If any task onthe critical path takes longer to complete than planned, the whole
project will slip unless something is done. Network diagrams were
first used in 1958 on the Navy Polaris project before project
management software was available.

Project Management Software
Enterprise PM software integrates information from
multiple projects to show the status of active, approved,
and future projects across an entire organization.
It also provides links to more detailed information oneach project.
Many managers like to see status in color – red, yellow,
and green.
