The nature of project management

A project is a unique one-time job of organizing a number of people to achieve a given goal, within a specified timeframe, under limited human resources and non-human resources constraints. Project management is mainly divided into schedule management, quality management and cost management. The project process is divided into five processes: Project initiation, project planning, project implementation, project supervision and project closure. Project management can also be refined for project scope management (or demand management), Project schedule management (or time management or planning management), Project Quality Management, project cost control, project risk management, project management, project personnel management, personnel communication management, procurement management, collectively referred to as the nine major management. These nine major management runs throughout the project cycle.

I think the essence of project management is to balance the interests of project stakeholders. More typical is the interests of the boss (or the interests of the company), the interests of customers and employees. The boss hopes the cost is low, the profit is high, the customer wants the software function to be many, the system is stable, the performance is good, the interface operation experience is good; So how do we balance the interests of those three? As a project manager, the first step is to do the cost budget, reasonably anticipate the project cost and project risk. Therefore, at the beginning of the project began the cost management and risk management, in order to ensure that the company's profits and reasonable risk to start the project; After the project started, the project manager began to do project planning, start time management and human resources management, procurement management, the project plan was approved by the company and the customer, Project Manager to the company proposed resources (including human resources and non-human resources), a group of people into the implementation of the project, the need for the project internal and external resources to communicate and coordinate, start the overall management of the project, quality management, to make the project results in line with customer expectations. At the same time, the project manager in order to complete the project under a limited period and cost, must control the scope of demand, reasonable arrangement of the work, strengthen the communication with the client side, communication with the project team members, the correct understanding of business needs, reasonable design system structure, effectively reduce code bugs, reduce the project implementation process of duplication of work, Enable project teams to accomplish their tasks efficiently. can also organize a number of sports activities, mobilize team members work enthusiasm, reduce overtime intensity, the project workload to a minimum, the project risk control to a minimum, that is, to generate more profits, so that the team members to obtain more bonuses.
