PMP Project Management

1. What is Project management?

Project management is to apply a variety of knowledge, skills, tools, technology to project activities to meet the needs of the project. This is technically. In fact, in project management technology

Level behind, there is also the content of the concept level. Learning project Management, in addition to learning technology, but also to understand and master the concept of project management work. Only at the same time mastered the technology and

Concept, you can really use a good project management method.

Project management is achieved through a series of project management processes. Each process can be used alone at certain times, but most of the time it is integrated with other countries involved

Coordinated use of. PMBOK lists 47 project management processes and points out the need to manage projects by consolidating 47 process groups. 47 processes are then summed up to start, plan, execute, monitor

end of the 5 large process group.

To manage a project, you need:

1. Identify their needs through communication with key stakeholders in the project.

2. Analyze stakeholder project needs and understand the consistency, coordination and contradiction between project requirements.

3. Weigh competing project needs and find the best balance.

4. Establish concrete, clear and realistic project objectives.

5. Translate the project objectives into concrete implementation plans and set up the project team to implement them.

6. Monitor and control the progress of the project in a timely manner to correct deviations and ensure the smooth implementation of the project.

7. Formal closure of the project phase and the entire project, the end phase or the entire project.

Project management is bound to involve competing project requirements (scope, time, cost, quality, resources, risk, etc.) as well as project stakeholders who have different needs, wants, and expectations for the project.

Because projects need to be progressively detailed throughout the life cycle, many of the process of project management is ongoing and recurring. In the early stages of the project, the project management team was at a more coarse level

These processes, and the increased understanding of the project, may require that these processes be carried out at a more detailed level.

Main dimensions of project objectives

1. In the narrow sense, the project is to complete the project deliverables under the stipulated scope, time, cost and quality requirements. Project scope, time, cost, quality is used to

It is indispensable to express the four essential elements of the project objective. These four elements are also summed up as "efficiency" and "effect" of two dimensions.

Time and cost are about the efficiency of the project, that is, to do things correctly and efficiently.

Quality and scope ensure that the project product can play the established function, is concerned about the effectiveness of the project, that is, to do the right thing, to obtain the desired results.

2. In a broad sense, the project is to meet the interests of project stakeholders in the pursuit of the project, including the needs and wants that have been expressed, and yet

Expression of interest expectations.

In the exam, if the topic is "project stakeholders", then they expect to be considered or even satisfied, if the test is the scope of the project, it is not to " gold-plated ",

It is not possible to do extra work .

In order for the project to be successful, the project manager must use his/her professional skills to describe the project stakeholders ' interests (needs, desires, expectations) as measurable, actionable

Specific project requirements.

The needs and expectations of the stakeholders can be very general, but the project requirements must be concrete and measurable. Specific project requirements are usually expressed as "triple constraints".

The triple restriction of modernity.

Range, time, cost, quality.

A broader triple constraint.

Scope, time, cost, quality, risk and stakeholder needs six aspects.

Indicates that project management is to complete the project under the stipulated scope, time, cost and quality under the premise of taking full account of the stakeholder requirements and risks, in order to meet the project stakeholders '

Pursuit of interests.

Priority of each element of the project objective

The scope of the project, time, cost, quality of the four elements are closely linked, both interdependent and competing with each other. Changing a feature causes at least one other feature to change. To optimize an element,

It is usually only at the expense of another factor.

Generally speaking, there is no prioritization between the four elements, and the prioritization of specific items is determined by senior management.

Knowledge needed to manage the project

While much of the knowledge of project management is unique to project management, it is not enough to simply understand and apply this knowledge. To manage projects effectively, you also need to master:

1. Knowledge, standards and regulations in the field of application.

2. Understanding of the project environment.

3. General management knowledge.

Project Management is an offshoot of management, so mastering general management knowledge is very important to the project manager.

4. Interpersonal skills.
