Project Management

Project management is the process and activity of planning, organizing,

motivating, and controlling resources, procedures and protocols to

achieve specific goal in scientific or daily problems.

The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the

project goals and objectives while honoring the preconceived

constraints. The primary constraints are scope, time, quality and

budget. The secondary challenge is to optimize the allocation of

necessary inputs and integrate them to meet pre-defined objectives.

Project Life Cycle

Project life Cycle

Initiation –Starting the

project

Planning –organizing &

preparing

Execution –Carry out the

work

Closure –closing the

project

The Project Life Cycle refers to

a series of activities which are

necessary to fulfill project goals

or objectives. Projects vary in

size and complexity, but, no

matter how large or small, all

projects can be mapped to the

following life cycle structure

The project life cycle is divided

into 4 phases

• Initiation

• Planning/Design

• Execution

• Closure

Project Execution Phase

The Monitoring and Controlling process oversees all the

tasks and metrics necessary to ensure that the approved

and authorized project is within scope, on time, and on

budget so that the project proceeds with minimal risk. This

process involves comparing actual performance with

planned performance and taking corrective action to yield

the desired outcome when significant differences exist.

Monitoring and Controlling process is continuously

performed throughout the life of the project.
