Functions of Management • Management is summarized into five functions; planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. • Planning- is the formulation of a course of an action to guide a project to completion. • Organizing- is the arrangement of resources in a systematic manner to fit the project plan. • Staffing- is the selection of the individuals who have the expertise to produce the work. • Directing- is the guidance of the work required to complete a project. • Controlling- checking progress against plans, which may need modification based on feedback.
WHY PROJECT FAIL? • Bad management • Bad management is the core problem for failure of project. • Poor management does not allow a systematic process work efficiency. • To prevent failure, we should well manage the project.
Lack of communication • Bad or lack communication will make the project fail. • It will make us could not be able to maintain the schedule and cash flow. • Communicate well with each and other. • Placement of improper officials • Placement of improper officials is like a misfit brick in wall which effects overall construction procedure. • placement of right candidate at senior level may reduce many of the execution problem and hence reducing major chances of project failure.
Lack of planning • The planning of the projects with optimum utilization of resources • Even if the resources are there in abundance, the project execution may collapse. • Well scheduled all the resources. • Research • Before any project can even begin, research needs to be developed to see if the project is feasible. • If research is not done, the project will also failure.
Teamwork • Person on a team is an integral part of success. • Be team orientated to be more efficient. • Decisions • Late or no decision making will fail the project. • Decision should be made at the correct time. • Conflict • Conflict between the staff is a factor that makes the project to fail. • Communicate nicely, it can avoid conflicts.
Money • Money is one of the most important factors in constructions projects. • Without money you cant do anything. • High expectation on low returns • In the Initial Stage Every one like to keep Long Step to reach faster but fails to plan to success instead plans to fail. • Choose the project which the company can handle.
Lack of will • The success or failure of a project is directly proportional to sum of total will power of all those are part of the project team. • Put more will to the project. • Materials deficiencies • Projects fail due to material deficiencies. • Mistakes of the people, who order the materials. • Make sure the quantity of materials is enough for the project.
A bad leader • A bad leader will lead the whole project to failure. • No one will obey a poor leader; they will not follow the instruction give by the leader. • select a leader, he/she should treat the subordinate nicely and must have the ability to in charge a construction project • Poor organization • If the job is not dividing suitably, failure of the project will occur. • To prevent this occur, should have a good organization chart which divide the job integrity. • Make sure everyone is in the suitable position.
Who is project manager?What does a project manager do? • The Project Manager is the individual responsible for delivering the project. • leads and manages the project team, with the authority and responsibility to run the project on a day-to-day basis. • Most of the time a project manager is a project owner. • He or she is responsible for the leadership of the project from inception to completion. • The project manager leads the team and helps negotiate the multiple relationships within any project
What are qualifications of a project manager? • Have a sense of ownership/leadership. • Work collaboratively. • Use both sides of the brain. • Have writing and design skills • Be able to facilitate.
What is work breakdown structure? • It is a chart in which the critical work elements, called tasks, of a project are illustrated to portray their relationships to each other and to the project as a whole • It can help a project manager predict outcomes based on various scenarios, which can ensure that optimum decisions are made • A WBS takes the form of a tree diagram with the "trunk" at the top and the "branches" below. • A well-structured WBS resembles a flowchart in which all elements are logically connected
Why breakdown a project? • It will improve project management control. • Creates clear milestones • clarifies progress • improves decision making • motivates team members • Easier for individuals and departments to manage • Better cost and budget control • Short term predictions are more accurate
How to create WBS? The following activities are common among most: • From project charter (statement of work and any other project concept documents) extract the approved list of deliverables. • Take each of these entries, and decompose them into logically distinct elements, these elements should explain what the deliverable/outcome will be. • Examine WBS entries to see if there are required deliverables that are not already included but that will be needed to create something that already is in the WBS, even if such deliverables were not committed to. • Level the hierarchy to the possible extent. Examine the WBS for possible merging and splitting of activities. • Once the WBS is completed, use the bottom-up approach to validate it • Reevaluate the entire WBS one more time by comparing the currently defined WBS deliverables to the originally defined objectives for the project.
Conclusion • Management is important because it is the study of how to make all the people in your organization more productive. • Management doesn't just teach someone how to inspire employees to be more productive, it also shows managers how to be good bosses.
