Eff ective Project Management
- Share to:
The purpose of Part I is to introduce the complex and uncertain world of projects
and their effective management. As you will see, it is a challenging landscape
that will capture your full and continual attention. If you expected to learn a
magic recipe that works for all projects, nothing could be further from the truth.
Being an effective project manager is a creative experience that challenges you
in every way.
So you will proceed from basic and fundamental principles. Chapter 1 defi nes
a project. On the one hand it is a very simple defi nition that tells you what a
project contains and how to recognize that you have a project. But on the other
hand it is complex as well, because there are many types of projects that populate
the landscape. It is in that complexity of projects that the real challenges
to effective management will arise. Project management is not a cookie-cutter
experience; rather, it is a challenging and creative experience.
To be called a project, an undertaking must meet a specifi c set of conditions.
If an undertaking meets those conditions, then it must follow the prescribed
project management methodology defi ned by the organization. A formal defi -
nition is put forth and the characteristics of the project are explored. Project
management methodologies are often defi ned for specifi c types of projects.
Project classifi cation rules are explored.
With the defi nition of a project in hand, Chapter 2 introduces project management.
You will quickly learn that this is not a “one size fi ts all” adventure.
Projects are unique
