 A project is a finite endeavor (having specific
start and completion dates) that requires the
organization and coordination of a group of two or
more people, to create a unique product or
service which brings about beneficial change or
added value.
 Project management is the discipline of
planning, organizing and managing resources to
bring about the successful completion of specific
project goals and objectives.
 Processes or operations, which are permanent
or semi-permanent functional work to repetitively
produce the same product or service.

 To achieve goals while honoring project
constraints.
 Typical constraints are scope, time and budget.
 Project Scope Management includes the
processes required to ensure that the project
includes all the work required, and only the
work required, to complete the project
successfully. It is primarily concerned with
defining and controlling what is or is not
included in the project.

 The Program (or Project) Evaluation and Review
Technique, commonly abbreviated PERT, is a
model for project management designed to
analyze and represent the tasks involved in
completing a given project.

 PERT is intended for very large-scale, one-time,

complex, non-routine projects.

 The Critical Path Method, abbreviated CPM,
or Critical Path Analysis, is a mathematically
based algorithm for scheduling a set of
project activities. It is an important tool for
effective PM.
 Essential technique
1. A list of all activities required to complete
the project (also known as Work breakdown
structure)
2. The time (duration) that each activity will
take to completion, and
3. The dependencies between the activities.

 A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that
illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts
illustrate the start and finish dates of the
terminal elements and summary elements of a
project. Terminal elements and summary
elements comprise the work breakdown
structure of the project.
 Some Gantt charts also show the dependency
(i.e. precedence network) relationships
between activities. Gantt charts can be used to
show current schedule status using percent-
complete shadings and a vertical "TODAY"
line. By- Anil Kr. Singh, Asst. Professor,

 Projects progress quickly until they are 90%
complete. Then they remain at 90% complete
forever.

 When things are going well, something will go

wrong. When things just can’t get worse, they
will. When things appear to be going better, you
have overlooked something.

 If project content is allowed to change freely,

the rate of change will exceed the rate of
progress.

 Project teams detest progress reporting

because it manifests their lack of progress.
