WHY IS WATERFALL MODEL IS USEFUL?
• One phase is completed before the next is started.
• Sequential and logical flow of software development activities
• Model approach is good as it is more expensive to fix a bug or missing requirement later on.
• Suitable when developing large, more complex systems.

Project Life Cycle (PLC)
DEFINITION PHASE
• Determine goals, scope and project constraints
• Identify members and their roles
• Define communication channels, methods, frequency and content
• Risk management planning
PLANNING PHASE - 1
• Resource Planning
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• Project Schedule Development
• Quality Assurance Plan
11
PLANNING PHASE - 2 • Development of:–Detailed specifications– Schematics– Schedules–Other plans
• Breaking down of work packages• Individual assignments are made• Process of completion
12
• For defining and organizing the total scope of a project
• First two levels - define a set of planned outcomes that collectively and exclusively represent 100% of the project scope.
• Subsequent levels - represent 100% of the scope of their parent node
WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE
DEPLOYMENT PHASE
• User training
• Production review
• Start using
EXECUTION PHASE - 1
• Execute project plan and accomplish project goals
• Training Plan
• System Build
• Quality Assurance
15
EXECUTION PHASE -2• Actual work is performed• System developed• Product created and fabricated• During this phase, bulk of the team work is
performed on various elements of the project.• Testing or checking of the work performed• Project cost is spent mostly in this phase
16
TERMINATION PHASE - 1
• Termination occurs when the completed project is transferred to the customer.
• Resources are reassigned.• Project is formally closed out.• As specific sub-activities are completed, the
project shrinks in scope and costs decline rapidly.
TERMINATION PHASE - 2
• Contractual Closeout
• Post Production Transition
• Lessons Learned

SCOPE, SCHEDULE AND BUDGET RELATIONSHIP – THE TRIPLE CONSTRAINT
IMPACT OF TRIPLE CONSTRAINTS
• Increased Scope = increased time + increased cost
• Tight Time = increased costs + reduced scope
• Tight Budget = increased time + reduced scope.
KEY AREAS OF MANAGEMENT IN EXECUTION OF PROJECTS
• Scope Management• Issue Management• Cost Management• Quality Management• Communications Management• Risk Management• Change Control Management
WHY PROJECT MANAGEMENT? - 1
Projects are one of the principal means to bring change. For example:–Construction of roads, bridges, laying down
rail lines, building airport, sea ports etc. for better transportation.–Developing dams, rivers, canals & making
deep wells for bring water in the areas with shortage of water like Kutch in Gujarat and Banglore.
WHY PROJECT MANAGEMENT? - 2
– Hospitals for providing better heath services.–Metro-rail for rapid, energy saving, faster
and convenient.– Power plants for industrial development.– Steel plants, refineries, cement plants for
improving the economy.– Development of human resources by
establishing IITs, IIMs, Regional engineering and medical colleges.
–Malls for convenience
WHY PROJECT MANAGEMENT? - 3
• Project management has become one of the most popular tools for organizations to:– Improve internal operations.–Respond rapidly to external opportunities.–Achieve technological breakthroughs,– Streamlining new product development.–Meet the challenges arising from their
business environment.
WHY PROJECT MANAGEMENT? - 4
• Companies such as General Electric, Noika, Erickssons, Boeing, and Oracle became increasingly good at realizing all the goals of international competition and responding to customer as fast as possible, and maintaining competitive cost and operating level. These companies were successful by using project management as a competitive tool.
• Companies in the fields of construction, heavy manufacturing, insurance, healthcare, and software are all becoming project savvy .

• Organize your approach• Generate a credible schedule• Track progress and control your project• Identify where to focus your efforts • Identify problems early – before there are crises• Saves you TIME….MONEY
If you fail to plan, PLAN TO FAIL
WHY PROJECT MANAGEMENT? - 5
PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE (PMO)
• PMO is an organizational body or entity assigned various responsibilities related to the centralized and coordinated management of those projects under its domain.
• The responsibilities of a PMO can range from providing project management support functions to actually being responsible for the direct management of a project.
FUNCTIONS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE (PMO)
• A PMO oversees the management of projects, programs, or a combination of both.
• The projects may not be related to each other, other than being managed together.
• Some PMOs, do coordinate and manage related projects.
• The PMO focuses on the coordinated planning, prioritization and execution of projects of the parent organization’s or client’s overall business objectives.
WHO IS A STAKEHOLDER?• Project stakeholders are individuals and organizations
that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be affected as a result of project execution or project completion.
• They may also exert influence over the project’s objectives and outcomes.
• Stakeholders have varying levels of responsibility and authority when participating on a project and these can change over the course of the project’s life cycle.
• Their responsibility and authority range from occasional contributions in surveys and focus groups to full project sponsorship, which includes providing financial and political support.

KEY STAKEHOLDERS ON A PROJECT - 1• Project manager. • Customer/user: There may be multiple layers of
customers. For example, the customers for a new pharmaceutical product can include:– The doctors who prescribe it, – The patients who take it ,and – The insurers who pay for it.
• Performing organization: The enterprise whose employees are most directly involved in doing the work of the project.
KEY STAKEHOLDERS ON EVERY PROJECT - 2• Project team members. • Project management team. • Sponsor. The person or group that provides the
financial resources, in cash or in kind, for the project. • Influencers. People or groups that are not directly
related to the acquisition or use of the project’s product, but due to an individual’s position in the customer organization or performing organization, can influence, positively or negatively, the course of the project.
• PMO: PMO can be a stakeholder if it has direct or indirect responsibility for the outcome of the project.
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
• Owners • Investors,• Sellers and contractors, • Team members and their families,• Government agencies • Media outlets, • Individual citizens,• Temporary or permanent lobbying organizations,• Society-at-large.
CONFLICTING INTERESTS OF STAKEHOLDERS OF A NEW PRODUCT
• The vice president of research at an electronics firm may define new product success as state-of-the-art technology,
• The vice president of manufacturing may define it as world-class practices, and
• The vice president of marketing may be primarily concerned with the number of new features.
CONFLICTING INTERESTS OF STAKEHOLDERS OF REAL ESTATE PROJECT
• The owner of a real estate development project may be focused on timely performance,
• The local governing body may desire to maximize tax revenue,
• An environmental group may wish to minimize adverse environmental impacts, and
• Nearby residents may hope to relocate the project.

WHAT IS DETAILED PROJECT REPORT (DPR)?
• DPR is a blue print of a project with complete details.
• The Detailed Project Report (DPR) is prepared carefully and with sufficient details about the project to ensure:– Appraisal, – Approval, and – Subsequent project implementation in a
timely and efficient manner.
MAJOR SECTIONS COVERED IN DPR • Sector background context • broad project rationale • Project definition, concept and scope • Project cost • Project institution framework • Project financial structuring • Project phasing • Project O&M framework and planning • Project execution• Project evaluation and closing
