Temporary does not necessarily mean short-lived

Products, services or results created by the project Generally not temporary

There may be duplicate elements in some project deliverables, But this duplication does not change the essentially unique nature of the project work

The project is over

There may be duplicate elements in some project deliverables, But this duplication does not change the essentially unique nature of the project work

Temporary does not necessarily mean short-lived

Products, services or results created by the project Generally not temporary

Ongoing work is usually performed repetitively according to the organization's existing procedures. In contrast, due to the unique nature of the project, the products it creates, There may be uncertainty about services or results

Projects can be conducted at all organizational levels and a project may involve An individual, an organizational unit, or multiple organizational units

A product can be a component of other products or itself an end product;

A capability (such as a business function that supports production or distribution) that can be used to provide a service;

An outcome, such as a result or document (such as the knowledge produced by a research project, on which Determine whether a trend exists or whether a new process will benefit society).

identify needs;

Address the various needs, concerns, and expectations of stakeholders when planning and executing projects;

Balancing competing project constraints, including but not limited to):

The relationship between these factors is that if any one factor changes, will affect at least one other factor

reflect:

Different project stakeholders may place the most emphasis on which factor To have a different perspective makes the problem more complex

Changing project requirements may result in additional risks

In order to achieve project success, the project team must be able to correctly analyze the project situation and balance project requirements

Because changes may occur, the project management plan needs to be revised repeatedly throughout the project life cycle. Positive and progressive details

Progressive elaboration means that as information becomes more detailed and estimates become more accurate, Continuous improvement and refinement of plans

It enables the project management team to become more in-depth as the project progresses management

Projects are often used as a means to achieve an organization's strategic plan

Market demand (for example, in response to a shortage of gasoline, a car company approved a research and development project for low-fuel consumption vehicles);

Strategic opportunities/business needs (e.g., a training company approves a new course development project to increase revenue);

Customer requirements (such as a power company approving a new substation construction project to supply power to a new industrial park);

Technological advances (such as after advances in computer storage and electronics, An electronics company approves a project to develop faster, cheaper and smaller laptops);

Legal requirements (e.g. a chemical company approves a project to develop guidelines for handling new toxic substances)

A major function of the PMO is to support the project manager in a variety of ways

Responsibilities, but not limited to:

Project managers and PMOs have different goals and have different requirements to comply with, but their All efforts must be aligned with the strategic needs of the organization

Role Differences between Project Manager and PMO may include

At the project closing stage

When developing new products, upgrading products or increasing production;

When improving operations or product development processes;

Before the product exits operation (end of product life cycle).

At each point in time, as relevant work is completed, Deliverables and knowledge transfer between projects and operations

Operations is ongoing work that produces repeatable results according to the system in the product life cycle According to standardized standards, the allocated resources are used to perform basically unchanged operations.

Unlike the ongoing nature of operations, projects are temporary efforts.

Knowledge: What does the project manager know about project management.

Practical ability: The project manager can apply the project Managing knowledge to do something or achieve something.

Personal Qualities: How the project manager acts when executing a project or related activities. Personal qualities include attitudes, key personality traits and leadership skills ——Ability to guide project teams to achieve project goals and balance project constraints.

The communication channels the organization already has;

Business databases (e.g. standardized cost estimating data, Industry risk research information and risk database);

Project management information systems (e.g. automation tools, Includes schedule planning software, configuration management systems, information collection and publish the system or enter the web interface of other online automated systems).

Projects and project management are both conducted within an environment that is larger than the project itself. Understanding this broader environment helps ensure that project execution meets corporate goals. Project management is consistent with the organization's existing practices.

This chapter will introduce

Cycle definition: The project life cycle is usually arranged in sequence and A collection of project phases that sometimes overlap with each other.

Phase naming: The name and number of phases depend on the The management and control needs of one or more organizations key, the characteristics of the project itself and its application fields

It can be based on the characteristics of the organization or industry, or the characteristics of the technology used. Determine or adjust project life cycle

Although every project has a clear starting point and end point, But its specific deliverables and the duration of the project Activities vary significantly from project to project

The life cycle provides the basic framework for managing a project, regardless of the specific work involved.
