Project management knowledge and practices are better described
in terms of their component processes. These processes can be
placed into five process groups (initiating, planning,
executing, controlling and closing) and nine knowledge areas
(project integration management, project scope management,
project time management, project cost management, project
quality management, project human resource management, project
communications management, project risk management and project
procurement management).
A Project Management Rule: Embrace uncertainty, expect the
unexpected. There is far more that we don't know and can't know
than what we can anticipate. Be resilient to what life throws at
you. Anticipate that your team will learn something along the
way that can and should change what you have promised and how
you can deliver on your
promises.
The core variables of the project management process are product
scope, quality grade, time-to-produce and total
cost-at-completion must all be mutually consistent and
attainable.
Tracking progress on a project management should be a regular
and continuous part of you daily routine, even if you have other
duties that require your attention.
Formal methods of Project Management offer a framework to manage
this process to provide a series of elements - templates and
procedures - to manage the Project Management through its life
cycle. Balancing limited labor, materials, and other resources
is a difficult task that earns a good Project Management top
dollar.
The genesis of the project management life cycle process in its
most basic form, is to be found in the very term "project
management" itself. A project has, by definition, a start and a
finish.
