Project Management Process Encompasses it All

What a project management process actually is, can be found in its title. It is the complete management process of a project that includes the planning, controlling of the processes and their performance so the conclusion of the project will be a success.

The inputs of a project management process include the documentation that is needed to progress with the project. This is the scheduling of tasks and the inspections to make sure they were completed correctly. The construction of the different templates that will be used during the course of the project are another input into this process.

A project management process is just like anything else, past mistakes can be avoided if they are studied and a lesson learned from them. For this reason previous projects that are similar should be studied. This should include in-company projects and external projects if possible.

The standards that regulate the project also have to be reviewed and documented as a reference. This is part of the project management process documents that need to be included in the final report at the conclusion of the project.

The resources that will be included are raw materials, equipment and manpower need to be identified and documented. These are the last components that need to be known before the work on the project can begin.

The project management process itself will include the 5 different stages of a project. There is the initiation, planning, execution, control and validation of the deliverable and the conclusion and evaluation of the deliverable.

The project management process is an integrated framework of how a project is to proceed from beginning to end in a cost efficient manner. It allows for an on time delivery of the product that is constructed during the project.  With the deliverable meeting or exceeding the acceptable standards that are set forth in the business plan the project can be considered a success.

Lean Methodology

The use of lean methodology has grown in the manufacturing sector since it was first implemented after World War II. As time has progressed, this methodology has been refined with the end result of creating more, faster and with less. The type of companies that can best utilize the lean methodology approach is manufacturing, because of the principles involved with it. This is to create a product with as little invested as possible in the deliverable. For a company wishing to use the lean methodology , they must first analyze their process in depth. Once the analysis has been completed in every process, the process of eliminating waste can begin on the process as a whole. Each part of the process has to contribute to the end product. The cutting of waste from each and every step in the production of a deliverable is the core essence of the lean methodology approach. This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.

Project Methodology Documented Steps

“What is a Project Methodology and why do I need one? A Project Methodology is a series of documented steps that are undertaken to complete a project from end to end. It’s also known as a Project Life Cycle or Project Roadmap. The methodology steps you through what it is as a Project Manager that needs to be done, by whom and when. You need one if you want to standardize on the way you manage projects, to gain a greater level of efficiency. In other words, if you tackle projects in the same way every time, then soon enough you get extremely good at managing them and before you know it, the risk you incur with every new project reduces and you enjoy a greater level of project success from it.
