What is a project?

The important point to remember about a project is that it only happens once. It has a defined start and a defined end and the resources gathered to manage it are usually organised on a temporary basis. A very similar project may happened again but it will not be absolutely identical because there will be something about the project which will have changed. Even if it is only the weather (which is in fact very important in construction projects) something will be different. Thus, although project management expertise can be carried over from one project to another, project managers must, to some extent, treat each project as an individual and unique task. The typology of projects shown in Figure 16.2 gives an indication of the range of things which are classed as projects. Anything with a beginning and an end is a project. Writing an assignment is a project. Some have low levels of complexity and relatively little uncertainty. This is especially true if you are doing the assignment exclusively yourself and have a very good grasp of the topic. However, some assignments and projects are more complex and rely on the co-operation of other people and organisations. Furthermore, they may develop in an uncertain way. Especially if they include some investigative work, it is not possible to predict exactly how the results will turn out. For both these reasons this type of assignment would be more difficult to manage. (Berkun 2005 59)

Project Planning & Control Techniques

Project controlling should be established as an independent function in project management. It implements verification and controlling function during the processing of a project in order to reinforce the defined performance and formal goals. The tasks of project controlling are also:

the creation of infrastructure for the supply of the right information and its update

the establishment of a way to communicate disparities of project parameters

the development of project information technology based on an intranet or the determination of a project key performance index system (KPI)

divergence analyses and generation of proposals for potential project regulations

the establishment of methods to accomplish an appropriate the project structure, project workflow organization, project control and governance

creation of transparency among the project parameters

Fulfillment and implementation of these tasks can be achieved by applying specific methods and ...
