Study Notes
Phases of Project Management
- The five phases of project management are Initiation, Planning, Execution and Control, and Closeout.
- Initiation defines market demands, needs, project objectives, and requirements, including conceptual planning and feasibility study.
Initiation Phase
- Defines market demands, needs, project objectives, and requirements.
- Includes a conceptual planning and feasibility study.
Planning Phase
- Includes designing and engineering.
- The main objectives of this stage are construction plans and specifications.
Execution and Control Phase
- Involves executing the construction, physically erecting the project, and putting materials and equipment into place.
- Provides manpower, construction equipment, materials, supplies, supervision, and management necessary to accomplish the work.
- Controls the process.
Closeout Phase
- Facilities acceptance and occupancy are allowed.
Feasibility Study
- Forms the backbone of Project Formulation.
- Investigates ways of achieving objectives, strategy options, methodology, and predicts likely outcome, risk, and consequences of each course of action.
- Assesses the feasibility of a proposal, requiring an understanding of the STEEP factors.
What is a Project?
- A temporary endeavor undertaken to produce a unique product, service, or result.
- A problem scheduled for solution.
What is Project Management?
- The application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.
- Initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve a specific goal and meet specific success criteria in a specified time.
Project Management Challenges
- The primary challenge is to achieve all the project goals within the given constraints.
- Acts within the primary constraints of scope, time, quality, and budget.
