Introduction to Project Management
Clearly defines the phases and brief scenerio about the term project management

What is a Project?
A project is
a temporary endeavor
with a definite beginning and end
that is carefully planned by dividing into several phases
to give out a unique output.

How are projects different from operations?
Projects
Temporary
create unique products
closed after reaching objectives
operations
on going processes
repetitive
objective is to sustain business

Car Design
A team collaboratively comes up with a plan and creates a prototype of the car.
Creation of the prototype car was a short term temporary process.
The prototype developed was unique
the project ended after the prototype was developed.

Car Mass-Production
set up a factory with an assembly line and she succeeds in manufacturing cars every day.
Mass production of cars is an ongoing process
the assembly line repetitively produces cars.
The objective of this process is to sustain the business of selling cars.

What are the phases of project management?
Projects are divided into phases
Initiating
Planning
Executing
monitoring and control process
closing
collections of these phases are called a project lifecycle.

So why manage a project?
Here are the statistics:
only one out of four projects that enter development make it to the market.
31% of the It projects are canceled before completion.
Large organizations net only 42% of the original features and functions in the end product.

Why do projects fail?
Failure and projects can be due to various reasons.
Failure in Time Management - timing
Failure in Cost Management - budgeting
Failure and scope Management - prioritizing
Failure in Quality Management - checking

What are the skills of the project manager?
Leadership, communication, information technology, accounting, purchasing, problem solving.
