Presentation Transcript

  1. ProjectManagement • These slides are partially based on the following book: Frame, Davidson J.Managing projects in organizations: how to make the best use of time, techniques and people. San Francisco, Calif.: Jossey-Bass,C1995 or a newer edition. • Buy the book

  2. How to make a project goal oriented? • Develop project goals jointly: bottom-up. • Use ”Management by objectives” (MbO) to establish: • Clear objectives: goals, milestones & requirements: ”Swim the pool as fast as possible” is less clearer than ”To be able to swim, by March 15, four laps of the twenty-five-meter pool, using the freestyle stroke, in sixty or fewer seconds” (p. 3-4) • Achievable objectives: Realistic, measurable, limited in duration, development oriented and describing results.

  3. How to coordinate interrelated activities? • Use systems analysis so as to synchronise tasks with each other. • Coordinate: • dependent, • parallel and • independent tasks • Think about task structure (V&Y)

  4. Has a project a limited duration: beginning &end? • Projects have limited duration, but • project responsibilities extend beyond the handover of deliverables. • On time and within budget does not necessarily mean deliverable. • A project manager should design and build deliverables that are operable and maintainable after they have been delivered.

  5. In which way can a project be considered unique? • Uniqueness of a project lies in its: • Conditions and requirements • Usefulness or economics • Implied tasks • Novelty or dependency on past experiences.
