Introduction to Project Management

  Introduction The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding of project management and to give a brief overview of the methodology that underpins most formally run projects. Many organizations do not employ full-time Project Managers and it is common to pull together a project team to address a specific need. While most people are not formally skilled in project methodology, taking a role in a project team can be an excellent learning opportunity and can enhance a person's career profile. What is a Project? A project is a temporary and one-time exercise that   varies in duration. It is undertaken to address a specific need in an organization, which may be to create a product or service or to change a business process. This is in direct contrast to how an organization generally works on a permanent basis to produce its goods or services. For example, the work of an organization may be to manufacture trucks on a continual basis, therefore the work is considered functional as

Requirements Management Capabilities

  Requirements management is a necessary and critical process that helps you understand your customers' requirements and analyze them for developing products that fulfill their expectations, and render profitable revenues for your business. Developing products based on your own perceptions or vague assumptions will make your entire project unsuccessful. You have to have precise information as to what your customers need, or what are their interests so that you can avoid loss of time and money. It is essential to possess tools that can effectively capture the relevant information and provide you with the latest reports in real time so that you can take decisions promptly and enjoy enhanced returns.

Agile Strategy

     How to improve the efficiency of an organization? Lean, Agile, and Six Sigma strategies are mostly used in IT organizations to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of work. Let’s read more about the Agile strategy. Many companies use Lean, Agile and Six Sigma to improve IT organizations' effectiveness and efficiency. Difference between Lean, Agile, and Six Sigma The Lean Method is a set of tools developed to reduce the waste associated with the flow of materials and information in a process from start to finish. The goal of Lean is to identify and eliminate non-essential and non-value-added steps in the business process in order to streamline production and improve overall quality. The Six Sigma methodology is based on the concept that issues or defects, due to process variation, can be reduced using statistical tools. The ideal goal is to fix a process so that it will be 99.9997% defect free or produce only 3.4 Defects per million opportunities. For example, this could m

Project Management Made Easy

  Project management is really a term that in certain respects appears ubiquitous, yet in reality, it appears to certainly be relatively limited to big business. While this might be the situation, the underpinnings of project management are in fact fairly simple and may be adapted by virtually anyone. But, before we obtain too much down this path I believe it is essential to take a look at what project management is...and what exactly it is not. First, project management is really a methodology. At its core is really a framework that enables efficient usage of time, but most importantly this methodology/framework helps be sure that the goal of the project is in fact achieved. Second, it should be understood that that need considering a task, there should be a particular "start date" and "end date." When the project has no official beginning or a specific date to terminate, obviously this is a process. It is essential to differentiate involving the two. A task is un

Project delivery phases

project delivery The process by which a building project is delivered to its owner may be divided into the following three phases, referred to as the project delivery phases. Although there is usually some overlap between adjacent phases, they generally follow this order: • PREDESIGN PHASE During the predesign phase (also called the planning phase), the project is defined in terms of its function, purpose, scope, size, and economics. This is the most crucial of the five phases, and is almost always managed by the owner and the owner’s team. The success or failure of the project may depend on how well this phase is defined, detailed, and managed. Obviously, the clearer the project’s definition, the easier it is to proceed to the subsequent phases. • DESIGN PHASE. The design phase begins after the selection of the architect. Because the architect may have limited capabilities for handling the broad range of building-design activities, several different, more specialized consultants are u
