A PROJECT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
What is a project
– Defined start and end, specific scope, cost and duration – A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result
– A series of activities aimed at bringing about clearly specified objectives within a defined time period and with a defined budget Revision No. NNL/PPT/PM/001

Definition
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Management is an art of organizing, managing and controlling the resources in such a way that a Project is completed within the defined scope, time, quality and cost constraints. Project is a time-bound, one-time activity (or set of activities) undertaken to create a unique product, process, system or service, which brings a quantifiable change or value addition.
Project is therefore different from process, which is permanent or semi-permanent ongoing functional work and is of repeatable in nature. The management of project and process differs and requires varying technical skills and philosophy and therefore a need for development and application of project management arise.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Focuses on completion of Simultaneous activities The longest path for completion of the work is considered to be critical. As simultaneous activities are planned Slack time will give cushion for working. M is a operational research technique which is very useful for project time estimate.

Laws of Project Management
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
No major project is ever installed on
time, within budget, or with the same staff that started it. Yours will not be the first. Projects progress quickly until they become 90% complete, then they remain at 90% complete forever. When things are going well, something will go wrong. When things just cannot get any worse, they will. Revision No. NNL/PPT/PM/001
Version No. 1.0
Laws of Project Management
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
When things appear to be going better, you have
overlooked something. No system is ever completely debugged. Attempts to debug a system inevitably introduce new bugs that are even harder to find. A carelessly planned project will take three times longer to complete than expected A carefully planned project will take only twice as long. Project teams detest progress reporting because it vividly manifests their lack of progress.

People’s Problems
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2/3 of project problems are people related You will find many operational leaders
demonstrate a “just do-it” mentality. While that may be effective in some environments, this is NOT effective in managing change. There will always be conflict over goals and scope, resources and between departments You are likely to find a lack of understanding basic project management methods Some people will never get along
