  13. Phase One • Definition Stage • Defining Specifications • Establishing objectives • Determining tasks • Forming teams • Assigning responsibilities • Low level of effort Nabil Dmaidi

  14. Phase Two • Planning Stage • Estimating time and cost • Scheduling activities and resources • Identifying and determining risks • Assigning teams • Level of effort increases Nabil Dmaidi

  15. Phase Three • Execution Stage • Producing physical product • Collecting data • Monitoring project performance • Identifying the changes • Forecasting new measures • Highest level of effort Nabil Dmaidi

  16. Phase Four • Delivery Stage • Training customer • Transferring documents • Releasing resources • Reassigning staff • Documenting lessens learned • Low level of effort Nabil Dmaidi

  18. Definition of a Project • From the Project Management Institute: “A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service” Nabil Dmaidi

  19. What is a Project? • Temporary • Unique • There is an end • Duration is finite • Characteristics are progressively elaborated Nabil Dmaidi

  20. Examples of projects include: • Developing a new product or service. • Effecting a change in structure, staffing, or style of an organization. • Designing a new transportation vehicle. • Developing or acquiring a new or modified information system. • Constructing a building or facility. • Running a campaign for political office. • Implementing a new business procedure or process Nabil Dmaidi

  21. Examples of a Project • Installing a computer network in a building • Opening a new store/factory • Automating an assembly line • Design a new car model • Introducing a new car model • Building a bridge Nabil Dmaidi

  22. İn the construction • ProjectManagement is the sum of all activities such as Planning,organising,implementing and controlling a project in order to meet the client’s expectation from start to finish within the planned period,budget and quality.” Nabil Dmaidi

  23. The purpose of Project Management • The purpose of Project Management is to foresee or predict as many of the dangers and problems as possible and to • Plan • Organize • Coordinate • Control Nabil Dmaidi

  24. The components of Project Management • Scope • Time • Cost • Quality • Human Resource • Communications • Risk • Procurement Nabil Dmaidi

  25. Project Constraints • Time • Cost • Quality Nabil Dmaidi

  26. Control • The heart of the project management system is CONTROLLING the execution of the works. • The purpose of this control is to determine and predict deviations in a project so corrective actions can be taken. • The milestones of the control process are as follows: To determine the aim • Determine the control standarts • To determine the strategic points • To evaluate the actual results and to compare to the planned Nabil Dmaidi

  27. İt defines the quality of the management Nabil Dmaidi

  28. Skills for Project Management • Good Planning • Conflict Resolution • Creativity • Flexibility • Negotiation • Communication • Client • Subcontractors • Team Nabil Dmaidi

  30. Project Management • Project Management is the Science and Art of Enhancing the Probability of Success by Inspired Leadership using Structured Techniques for Planning that Integrate Technical Performance, Scheduling and Budgeting (1). (1)-Fundamentals of Space Systems - Pisacane and Moore Nabil Dmaidi

  31. Project Management • Guide and Direct the effort • Science and Art • Enhancing the Probability of Success • Leadership (Inspired or not) • Structured Techniques for Planning • Critical Path — the path of a network that requires the longest period of time to complete • Integrate Technical Performance, Scheduling and Budgeting Nabil Dmaidi

  32. Objectives of a Project Management Structure • Deliver a product that meets the requirements of the project’s objectives. (Systems Engineering) • Deliver a product that meets the requirements of the contract delivery schedule • For commercial companies: meet profit objectives Nabil Dmaidi

  33. Prerequisites • Must have adequate resources and facilities available to meet the delivery schedule • Terms of the contract must be realistic and adequate to cover the cost to perform under the contract Nabil Dmaidi

  34. Project Manager’s Authority • Technical Decisions • Directing the design approach • Selecting subsystems or components • Identifying type and scope of tests • Commercial Decisions • Make or Buy • Selecting/recommending subcontractors or vendors Nabil Dmaidi

  35. Continued • Administrative Decisions • Selecting and assigning personnel • Scheduling personnel, resources and equipment • Monetary Decisions • Determining the expenditure of funds Nabil Dmaidi
