Management of Projects
1. Planning - goal setting, defining the
project, team organization
2. Scheduling - relates people, money,
and supplies to specific activities
and activities to each other
3. Controlling - monitors resources,
costs, quality, and budgets; revises
plans and shifts resources to meet
time and cost demands

Project Organization
Often temporary structure
Uses specialists from entire company
Headed by project manager
Coordinates activities
Monitors schedule
and costs
Permanent
structure called
‘matrix organization’
Project Organization
Works Best When
1. Work can be defined with a specific
goal and deadline
2. The job is unique or somewhat
unfamiliar to the existing organization
3. The work contains complex
interrelated tasks requiring specialized
skills
4. The project is temporary but critical to
the organization
5. The project cuts across organizational
lines

The Role of
the Project Manager
Highly visible
Responsible for making sure that:
Project managers should be:
Goodare
1. All necessary activities coaches
finished in order
and on time Good communicators
2. The project comesAble
in within budget activities
to organize
3. The project meets from a variety
quality goals of disciplines
4. The people assigned to the project receive
motivation, direction, and information

Ethical Issues
Project managers face many ethical
decisions on a daily basis
The Project Management Institute has
established an ethical code to deal with
problems such as:
1. Offers of gifts from contractors
2. Pressure to alter status reports to mask delays
3. False reports for charges of time and expenses
4. Pressure to compromise quality to meet
schedules
Level
1. Project

Purposes of Project
Scheduling
1. Shows the relationship of each activity to
others and to the whole project
2. Identifies the precedence relationships
among activities
3. Encourages the setting of realistic time
and cost estimates for each activity
4. Helps make better use of people, money,
and material resources by identifying
critical bottlenecks in the project
Scheduling Techniques
1. Ensure that all activities are planned
for
2. Their order of performance is
accounted for
3. The activity time estimates are
recorded
4. The overall project time is developed

Advantages of PERT/CPM
1. Especially useful when scheduling and
controlling large projects
2. Straightforward concept and not
mathematically complex
3. Graphical networks help highlight
relationships among project activities
4. Critical path and slack time analyses help
pinpoint activities that need to be closely
watched
49
16/09/2014
Advantages of PERT/CPM
5. Project documentation and graphics
point out who is responsible for various
activities
6. Applicable to a wide variety of projects
7. Useful in monitoring not only schedules
but costs as well
Limitations of PERT/CPM
1. Project activities have to be clearly
defined, independent, and stable in their
relationships
2. Precedence relationships must be
specified and networked together
3. Time estimates tend to be subjective and
are subject to fudging by managers
4. There is an inherent danger of too much
emphasis being placed on the longest, or
critical, path
