What Is Project Management?

A project is a set of interrelated activities, usually involving a group of people working together toward a common goal or objective over a period of time. Projects are undertaken at all levels in a company, they may require the efforts of a single person or many thousands, and its success or failure will depend in how organized and planned they are.

Project management is a process through which you typically progress through four phases: Defining and organizing the project, planning the project, executing the project, and closing down the project. Each phase has a different process that should be followed, with different activities that should be performed. It is always important to go back once you have moved to a different phase, and re-view the goals and objectives, so you can improve the performance of your project tasks.

The first phase, defining and organizing the project, you will need to focus on identifying a business needs to be fulfilled, develop options for how you want to address that need, set project objectives, and align them with the company’s objectives. It is very important to understand clearly so you avoid experiencing “Scope Creep” (expanding demands that go beyond the original aims). There are competing demands that you’ll also need to take into account while finalizing your objectives: Quality, Time, and Cost.  Read more...

Good resource management keeps the project team running at full speed. Vendors and collaborators may change from project to project, and even from phase to phase, but checklists ensure your team knows the resources that are needed at any given time, and where to find them. Maintaining supplies, managing documentation and quickly locating a properly outfitted meeting space can all be facilitated through the use of checklists.

The minimalist concept of a task list evolves handily into a running steady-state report when used in a project setting. Activity checklists that are continuously maintained can be vital resources in the event a team member is unexpectedly absent, or when clients or executives request an informal progress report. The project moves forward without interruption, your client receives information quickly, and the returning team member is immediately updated on the project’s current status.

Relevant and timely communications are a basic underpinning of a successful project, and effectively managing the flow of communications throughout your project’s lifecycle is greatly streamlined through the implementation of a few simple checklists. Uses for communication checklists include ensuring your project data reaches the appropriate people (and no one else), confirming that responses and required information are received as needed, and that follow-up activities occur in a timely manner.

Each year, companies execute projects for the purpose of improving their bottom-line and expanding their competitive advantage. The difference between success and failure often depends on how committed organizations are in utilizing project management to monitor and control schedule delays. Schedule delays are the villain in project management and are the biggest cause of budget overruns, missed deadlines, and poor quality. During good economic times, investing in project management is financially feasible and acceptable by most companies. However, during bad economic times, project management is considered an overhead cost and the tendency is to downsize. This paper discusses the importance of investing in project management to mitigate the impact of schedule delays in good and more importantly during bad economic times.

Project Management Spending Patterns

Projects are performed by people, and since projects come in various sizes, complexities, and uniqueness; the level of project management expertise and the level of commitment will vary from company to company. Even within companies, this level of expertise will vary from organization to organization. Usually, companies only increase their project management investment after they have had a bad experience with a late project (e.g., incurred large budget overruns, lost market share due to missing promised dates or delivering poor quality, or paying late penalties, etc.). Then conversely, they decrease project management spending when organizations change leadership roles to individuals who have little appreciation for project management or when cost-cutting directives have been mandated. The spending decision many companies make during bad economic times is to reduce their project management footprint in order to decrease costs. The reason for this is two-fold; either they have reduced the number of projects in their portfolio and a proportional reduction in project management is warranted, or their previous project management investments have yielded poor results and managers are unable to justify the costs. The truth is; if project management is implemented and staffed correctly, it can protect a company’s investment in executing projects. Without it, schedule delays will go unnoticed which will ultimately erode profits, undermine morale, and delay the start of future projects.  Read more...
