Project Manager desk manual Study Notes [1]

The concept of a project: a project is a one-time task with a clearly defined start and end date, a specific scope of work, a budget, and a specific performance level. Zhu LAN, a Quality Expert, defines a project: a project is a problem to be solved by a plan. This definition makes us realize that project management handles problems on a large scale. Stakeholders: Any person who has an established interest in the project, including customers, suppliers, contributors, project investors, managers, and local residents when the project involves public facilities. Customer: Users of project delivery results. Project initiator: the person who actually executes the command. Project Manager: persons fully responsible for ensuring that the project is completed on time, on budget, according to the scope of work, and according to the required performance level. Project management: plans, schedules, and controls the activities that must be performed to achieve the project objectives. Project work must be completed in the following circumstances: p-to achieve the expected performance. C-within the scope of cost and budget constraints. T-on time. S-the size of the specified work range. C = f (P, T, S) cost is a function of performance, time, and range. C = 2 p + 3 T + 4s components of the project cost: manpower, important equipment, and materials or materials. Brooke's Law: adding people to a project that has been lagging behind may lead to a project lagging behind. If you always follow the same method, you will always get consistent results. A project generally consists of 4-6 stages. Each stage is a concept, definition, design, development or construction, application, and post-evaluation. For a 4-stage model, each stage includes concepts, plans, executions, and termination. There are two traps in the project life cycle: one is that the concept is defined as the project. The first is to summarize the advantages and disadvantages in the post-evaluation phase. People who do not know the history are destined to make the same mistake again. The Personnel System is placed at the bottom of the pyramid because it forms the basis for everything else. The project manager must handle all personnel issues: communication, team building, conflict management and resolution, incentive and dirty political issues. Interpersonal Skills: persuasion, influence, negotiation, and even begging.
