What is the Project Management process.
There are a multitude of definitions of the project management process but all of them share the attributes shown below:-
The Role of the Project Manager.
The role of the project manager is a challenging one. Often he or she will be coordinating the activities of technical highly skilled people and liaising with internal and external parties all critical to project delivery. Project Management is a highly skilled professional role and the Project Manager will normally need several years experience in order to be successful.
The role involves the key tasks of planning, organizing and
controlling. In complex projects planning project tasks often involves the
use of software programs such as Microsoft Project which enables the Project
Manager to schedule hundreds of tasks and manipulate their interdependencies in
order to reduce the overall timescale of the project.
Organizing involves dealing with people within the immediate project team as well as third parties internal and external to the wider organization.
Controlling involves monitoring and measuring outputs and exerting influence to achieve the desired outcomes.
In order to be effective the Project Manager needs information, communication and commitment.
