Projects are the building blocks of an investment plan. Due to several

economic factors, the investments of various types in the contemporary

world are shrinking day by day. The majority of projects do not terminate

on time or to budget and they rarely deliver to all the original project

specifications due to poor management. The current project

management techniques and methods require a departure from

traditional approach as it requires improved systems methodology and

use of software on project life cycle. The project management is now a

profession that has to be learnt by the successful managers for

increased customer satisfaction. Project management techniques are

equally useful for social sector as well as the infrastructure projects.

These techniques are used by the NGOs, consultancy companies,

international organizations and the engineering firms.

Topics should be innovative and must have strong relevance with the

subject and real life. You may choose organization in public or private

sector (Service or Manufacturing).

To encourage students to write technical research papers, students will

suggest topics to write technical research papers to be published in

reputable journals or conferences. A good paper written by group of

students may fetch a better grade in the course. A paper shall have to

be completed within the course time period. The instructor and RAs

will help the students selecting a paper topic and will keep guiding the

students throughout till the publication of papers. The students will not

be allowed to publish the same paper in other courses.

WHAT IS A PROJECT?



20/30

A project is usually a one-time activity with a well-defined set of desired end

resultscomplex enough that the subtasks required careful coordination andcontrol in terms of timing, precedence, cost and performance.

Project Management: A Managerial Approach

Jack R. Meredith and Samuel J. Mantel, Jr.1995

The assignment of resources to accomplish specific results (deliverables) with

a well-defined schedule and budget.

Accenture (1999)

something that is contemplated, devised, or planned; a plan; a scheme; an

undertaking

The Macquarie Concise DictionaryThird Edition (1998)


WHAT IS A PROJECT


21/30

A Project

Has specific objectives

Has a start and end date

Has a budget

Has an owner/sponsor

Produces specific deliverables

Can vary vastly in size, complexity and duration

May be a phase within a larger project or a phase within a

program


PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS


22/30

Operations and projects share many characteristics:

Performed by people.

Constrained by limited resources.

Planned, executed, and controlled.

Operations may include activities such as:

Financial management and control

Continuous manufacture

Product distribution

Projects may include activities such as:

Developing a new product or service.

Effecting a change in structure, staffing, or style of an

organization.

Developing or acquiring a new or modified information system.


OPERATIONS AND PROJECTS


23/30

Temporary means that every project has a definite beginning and adefinite end.

The end is reached:

When the projects objectives have been achieved, or

When it becomes clear that the project objectives will not or

cannot be met and the project is terminated.

Temporary does not necessarily mean short in duration:

many projects last for several years. The duration of a project is finite:

projects are not ongoing efforts.


PROJECTS ARE TEMPORARY


24/30

A product or service may be unique even if the category it belongs to

is large. For example, many thousands o office buildings have been

developed, but each individual facility is uniquedifferent

owner, different design, different location, different

contractors, and so on.

Because the product of each project is unique, the

characteristics that distinguish the product or service must be

progressively elaborated.

Progressively means proceeding in steps; continuing steadily

by increments

Elaborated means worked out with care and detail; developed

thoroughly


THE PRODUCT OF A PROJECT IS UNIQUE


25/30

31% of all new software development projects are

cancelled before completion

53% of projects cost >189% of original estimates

16.2% of software projects completed on time and on

budget

Average overrun is 222% of original estimates

A survey on overall

projects revealed:

"challenged" (completed

over budget and past the

original deadline).

6% of projects succeeded.
