    Project Management ProcessOverview

    /hen contractors develop plans for a building* one of the rst steps islaying a foundation. This is also a true for building proects using theProect ,anagement module. The hierarchical structuring of data servesas the foundation before the addition of actual proect data. The folloingis a suggested se$uence for setting up these structures3

    "et up the organizational brea!don structure &O'")* hich is thehierarchical arrangement of your companys management structure*either as roles or individuals.

    "et up the enterprise proect structure &P")* hich is the hierarchicalstructure that identies the company2ide proects and enablesorganization and management of those proects in your organization.

    "et up a resource hierarchy that re7ects your organizations resourcestructure and supports the assignment of resources to activities.

    1or each proect* set up the or! brea!don structure &/'")* hich is ahierarchical arrangement of the products and services produced duringand by a proect.

    Proect controls coordinators

    P## or!ing ith operations e-ecutives andprogram0proect managers* structure the O'" andP" hierarchies.

    "etting up the O'" rst enables association of the

    responsible managers ith their areas of the P"8either nodes or proects8hen the P" is structured.

    9ser access and privileges to nodes and proectsithin the P" hierarchy are also implemented via a

    responsible O'". so the security proles that monitor data access by

    proect participants can be established early on inthe process.

  • 7/24/2019 Primavera P6 Class

    15/50

    Once the O'" is established* the P" can beset up.

    (n P" can consist of multiple root nodes*hich enable particular types of proects to begrouped together* such as proect templates

    or high2ris! proects.

    /ithin each root node* you can further brea!don an P" into multiple P" nodes* such as#apital +mprovement proects and,anufacturing proects* to categorize thetypes of templates proects.

    The folloing e-ample represents ho the O'"*P"* and /'" structures interrelate ithin one

    branch of the P".

    The responsiblemanager used forthe root node in the

    EPS branch is usedas the default for theEPS nodes andprojects for thatbranch; you canchange the

    assignment(s).

    Planning !ontrolling andManaging Projects

    'efore implementing P6 to schedule proects* team membersand other proect participants should understand theprocesses involved in proect management.

    "imply stated* proect management is the process ofachieving set goals ithin the constraints of time* budget*and sta:ng restrictions.

    Planning a project

    The rst step in proect management is to dene your proect.

    1. What is the scope of the or!; /hat activities ill ma!e up the proect and hat istheir relationship to each other; Youll also ant to identify the maor milestonesthat ill help you monitor the proects progress.

    ". What is the project duration# /hat are the dates hen the proect ill begin and

    end;$. What resources are a%ailable to the project# 'eyond labour* thin! about all the

    types of resources you ill re$uire.

    &. Who ill perform hat tas!s# %etermining your labour resources and theiravailable or!hours is a !ey part of building a successful proect. Youll need toplan for dontime and holidays and determine the regular or!ee! for varioussta:ng types.

    '. o much ill the project cost# /hat are the costs per resource; (re there anyhidden proect costs;

    . What is the estimated budget# stablishing a proect budget estimate in advancehelps you monitor possible cost overruns.

    !ontrolling a project

    Once you have built your proect and estimated yourbudgeting needs* you save this original plan as a baseline*or target schedule* to help you control the proect.

    ( baseline provides a solid point of reference as your schedulechanges over time.

    +t allos you to compare the original schedule to the current oneand identify signicant changes and develop contingency plans.

    You control a proect to !eep it heading in the right

    direction. Youll ant to trac! or! progress and costs*compare them to your baseline* and then recommendhat actions should be ta!en.

    Managing a project

    ( good proect manager ears many hats* acting at various times as amotivator* communicator* coordinator* and advisor. (s you control theproects progress* it is your ob to !eep your team aare of changes tothe schedule and possible conse$uences. +n many ays* you are theproects ambassador* ensuring that your proect organization iscarrying out its responsibilities for the best possible outcome.

    To be an e=ective proect manager also re$uires consistency henyou update your proects. "elect a day each ee!* or biee!ly* henyou ill regularly update proects. This regular update ill includeprogress on values such as

    %ates on hich activities started or nished %ates hen resources are consumed
