Overall project management
Overall project management concept
project concept
The overall project management is to start from an overall and holistic perspective, organically coordinate the various elements of the project (quality, cost, schedule, scope, etc.), weigh and choose among the specific goals and proposals of the mutually affecting project, and try to achieve the best possible results. Eliminate the limitations of individual project management to achieve the goal of meeting the needs and expectations of project stakeholders to the greatest extent.
The overall management process includes
1. Develop a project charter to formally authorize the project.
2. Develop a project scope statement (preliminary), prepare a preliminary project scope statement and give a high-level description of the project scope
3. Develop a project management plan. Define the activities required to define, prepare, integrate, and coordinate all subplans to form a project management plan
4. Guide and manage project execution. Execute the work defined in the project management plan to achieve project objectives.
5. Supervise and control project work. Supervise and control the initiation, planning, execution and closing processes to achieve the project objectives defined in the project management plan.
6. Overall change control: Review all change requests, approve changes, and control changes to deliverables and organizational process assets.
7. Project closing: Complete all activities in all project process groups to officially end a project and phase.
Develop project charter
definition
A project charter is a document that formally authorizes funding for a project, issued by the project sponsor or a sponsor external to the project organization.
The role of the project charter
1. Officially announce the existence of the project and give legal status to the implementation of the project.
2. Roughly define the scope of the project
3. Formally appoint the project manager and authorize him to use the organization's resources to carry out project activities.
Main contents of the project charter
1. The business requirements or product needs that the project must meet
2. The purpose and reason of the project
3. Needs and expectations of project stakeholders
4. Outline milestone progress plan
5. Influence of project stakeholders
6. Functional organization
7. Organizational, Environmental and External Assumptions
8. Organizational, environmental and external constraints
9. Summary budget
enter
1. Contract
2. Statement of Work (SOW)
A working document is a narrative description of the product or service to be provided by the project.
For internal projects, it is a statement of work proposed by the project initiator or investor based on business needs or product and service needs.
For external projects, the Statement of Work is obtained from the client as part of the bid documentation.
The main contents of the statement of work include
Business requirements (such as market demands, technological improvements, legal requirements or government standards)
Product scope description (describes the requirements for the product to be created by the project and the characteristics of the product or service)
Strategic Plan (executing the organization’s strategic plan as a requirement for project selection)
3. Environmental and organizational factors
Addresses all organizational circumstances and factors that impact project success, including:
Organizational or company culture and structure
organizational infrastructure
existing human resources
market conditions
Project stakeholders’ tolerance for risk
Industry risk research information and risk database
project management information system
4. Organizational process assets
1. The process and procedures of guiding work in the organization
Such as the organization's standard processes (standard product and project life cycles, quality policies and procedures, etc.)
Standard templates, work guides, evaluation criteria, etc.
Criteria and guidance for tailoring standard processes in organizations
change control procedures
Itemized control procedures, etc.
2. Organizational knowledge base, historical project experience and lessons, configuration management knowledge base, problem and defect management database
tool
1. Project selection method
Decision table technology
Financial analysis methods (net present value, internal rate of return, etc.)
DIPP analysis method
2. Project management methodology
Project management methodology usually clearly stipulates the phases of the project, as well as the main activities of each phase, phase inputs, phase results, milestones, review methods, etc.
3. Project management information system
The project management information system is a platform for project managers and is a collection, classification, synthesis and preservation of the results, technology, equipment and personnel of various project activities.
4. Expert judgment
Project management is very experiential. Experts with similar project management experience are very important for the overall grasp of the project and the judgment of resources, construction period, quality and other factors.

Project Charter
Develop scope statement (preliminary)
The project description describes what the project needs to do, lists the characteristics and boundaries of the project and its related products and services, and the methods for scope control and acceptance. The main contents include
1. Project and scope goals
2. Requirements and characteristics of products or services
3. Project boundaries
4. Product acceptance criteria
5. Project constraints
6. Project assumptions
7. Initial project organization
8. Initial definition of risk
9. Progress milestones
10. Magnitude requirements for cost estimation
11. Requirements for project configuration management
12. Approved requirements
The initial project scope statement is developed based on information provided by the sponsor or funder and further refined by the project management team during the scope definition process.
Project objectives are the expected results to be achieved by implementing the project, that is, the results or services that the project can deliver
Characteristics of project goals
1. Multi-objective: The project goal is often a multi-objective system, such as quality, schedule, cost, etc.
2. Priority: The project is a multi-objective system. Different objectives may have different importance according to different needs at different stages of project management.
3. Hierarchy: A project has both the highest-level strategic goals and lower-level specific goals.
The project target instrument is included in the project proposal and is generally determined by the project client or project sponsor.
Project goal setting process
1. Project situation analysis: external environment, upper-level organizational system, market conditions, relevant stakeholders, socio-economic, political, legal environment, etc.
2. Definition of project problems: Whether there are factors and problems that affect the development of the project in the current environment and various constraints
3. Determine project target factors: such as funding schedule, payback period, and areas involved in the project
4. Supervision project goal system: Determine the goals of all aspects and levels of the project through goal factors.
5. Confirm the relationship between each goal: which are mandatory goals, which are expected goals, and what are the connections or conflicts between different goals?
