Computer Information System Integration-Project Manager Training Course excerpt (1)

The nine knowledge fields of project management systematically describe the management issues that should be paid attention to during project implementation by the Project Manager:
1. Overall project management; 2. Scope management; 3. Time management; 4. Cost Management;
5. Risk management; 6. Quality Management; 7. Procurement Management; 8. Communication Management; 9. Human resource management.

I. Which of the nine key knowledge fields of project management are more important?

A. Scope Management
B. Cost Management
C. Human Resource Management
D. Time Management

2. What is the scope of the project?
-- Indicates the work to be completed in order to successfully reach the project goal (for example, to deliver products with the indicated features and functions.

Iii. Main work content of the project scope:
1. Start the project
2. Scope plan preparation
3. project scope definition
4. Scope of verification
5. Scope change management

4. Start
Market demand (usually a project contract) is used as the input for start-up.
Develop a strategic plan
Project selection (Feasibility Analysis)

Start: Net Present Value Analysis (NPV)
NPV = Sigma T = 1... N a/(1 + r) ^ t
-A: cash flow for each period
-R: discount rate
-T: Time

Start-up: ROI)
ROI = (total discounted benefits-total discounted costs)/total discounted costs
Higher ROI, better
Start-up: investment payback period
Time used for net cash inflow compensation net investment

Launch: Project Charter
Documents used to formally confirm the existence of the project and specify the project objectives and management personnel.
Major stakeholders must sign the project charter to acknowledge that the project requirements and objectives have been agreed.

V. Scope plan: Scope statement
Project Background
Project objectives (quantifiable indicators used to measure project success and reasonable scope of changes)
Project product description
Deliverables of the project

Range Definition
Work Breakdown (WBS, and continuous refinement)

Range Verification
Possible problems
Unclear objectives
Extremely large and extremely wide scope
Lack of user participation
Scope Verification: confirmed by project stakeholders

Scope change control
Demand change and task change
Change Request, change approval, change communication

6. One project is restricted by the "three constraints" of the project-scope, time, and cost.
In a project, these three conditions affect and constrain each other, And the scope often affects time and cost.
I don't know when the project will actually end. How much manpower and material resources will be invested to end the project? The whole project is like a bottomless pit.

It is easy to do, and it depends on the rich experience of the Project Manager.

It is very important and must be done well.

VII. Cost Estimation
When the project is started, an overall expenditure cost is estimated.
Cost budget
Separate cost estimates by WBS
Cost baseline
Projects are drawn based on the execution time, indicating the project's budget accumulation at different stages.

Cost baseline is the basis for project performance

Earned Value Method
Budget costs of planned work (EV bcwp)
Budget cost of PV bcws completion
Actual cost (AC acwp)

Cost deviation (CV)
CV = EV-AC
Cost execution Index CPI = eV/AC
Progress deviation (SV)
Sv= EV-PV
Progress execution index SPI = eV/PV
Remaining construction period estimation = planned construction period/SPI

8. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory
Self-realization
Respect
Society
Security
Physiology
.......................... Bottom-up

9. expected activity period E =
(SAD value + 4× most likely value + happy value)/6

10. Key paths
The longest path in the project
The floating time of the path is 0.
Minimum project completion time
