Welcome to Project Management. This is the 8th lesson of this module. There are always more project proposals than there are available resources. The priority system needs to select projects that best contribute to the organization’s objectives, within the constraints of the resources available. If all projects and their respective resources are computer scheduled, the feasibility and impact of adding a new project to those in process can be quickly assessed. With this information the project priority team will add a new project only if resources are available to be formally committed to that specific project. This chapter examines methods of scheduling resources so the team can make realistic judgments of resource availability and project durations. The project manager uses the same schedule for implementing the project. If changes occur during project implementation, the computer schedule is easily updated and the effects easily assessed. This lecture series is based on Erik W. Larson and Clifford F. Gray’s Book “Project Management, the Managerial Process” chapter by chapter. You will find the content of this text highly practical, relevant, and current. The concepts discussed are relatively simple and intuitive. As you study each chapter we suggest you try to grasp not only how things work, but why things work. You are encouraged to use the text as a handbook as you move through the three levels of competency: I know. I can do. I can adapt to new situations. The learning outcomes of this lesson include: In this lecture, we focus on these four learning outcomes: 8-1 Understand the differences between time-constrained and resource- constrained schedules when doing project planning 8-2 Identify different types of resource constraints. 8-3 Describe how the smoothing approach is used on time-constrained projects. 8-4 Describe how the leveling approach is used for resource-constrained projects. 8-5 Understand how project management software creates resource constrained schedules. 8-6 Understand when and why splitting tasks should be avoided. 8-7 Identify general guidelines for assigning people to specific tasks. 8-8 Identify common problems with multiproject resource scheduling. 8-9 Explain why a time-phased budget baseline is needed. 8-10 Create a time-phased project budget baseline. This is a comprehensive lesson plan for about 1.5 -2 hours including a well-prepared PowerPoint presentation, interactive exercises, in-depth case studies, and associated reading materials, designed to provide a holistic learning experience.

Welcome to Project Management. This is the 3rd lesson of this module. Once management approves a project then the question becomes, how will the project be implemented? This chapter examines three different project management structures used by firms to implement projects: functional organization, dedicated project teams, and matrix structure. Although not exhaustive, these structures and their variant forms represent the major approaches for organizing projects. The advantages and disadvantages of each of these structures are discussed as well as some of the critical factors that might lead a firm to choose one form over others. This lecture series is based on Erik W. Larson and Clifford F. Gray’s Book “Project management, the managerial process” chapter by chapter. You will find the content of this text highly practical, relevant, and current. The concepts discussed are relatively simple and intuitive.

Project managers in charge of a single small project can plan and schedule the project tasks without much formal planning and information. However, when the project manager must manage several small projects or a large complex project, a threshold is quickly reached in which the project manager can no longer cope with the details. This lesson describes a disciplined, structured method for selectively collecting information to use through all phases of the project life cycle, to meet the needs of all stakeholders (e.g., customer, project manager), and to measure performance against the strategic plan of the organization. The key learning outcomes are: Identify key elements of a project scope statement and understand why a complete scope statement is critical to project success. Describe the causes of scope creep and ways to manage it. Understand why it is important to establish project priorities in terms of cost, time, and performance. Demonstrate the importance of a work breakdown structure (WBS) to the management of projects and how it serves as a database for planning and control. Demonstrate how the organization breakdown structure (OBS) establishes accountability to organization units. Describe a process breakdown structure (PBS) and when to use it. Create responsibility matrices for small projects. Create a communication plan for a project. This is a comprehensive lesson plan for about 1.5 hours includes a well-prepared PowerPoint presentation, with video links, interactive exercises, in-depth case studies, and associated reading materials, designed to provide a holistic learning experience.

This is the 2nd lesson of Foundation of Project Management - Organisation Strategy and Project section in Project Management. Strategy is fundamentally deciding how the organization will compete. Organizations use projects to convert strategy into new products, services, and processes needed for success. Aligning projects with the strategic goals of the organization is crucial for project success. Today’s economic climate is unprecedented by rapid changes in technology, global competition, and financial uncertainty. These conditions make strategy/project alignment even more essential for success. Every major project needs to have a strong linkage to the strategic plan. Ensuring a strong link between the strategic plan and projects is a difficult task that demands constant attention from top and middle management. With these views, the key learning outcomes of this lesson include: 1 Explain why it is important for project managers to understand their organization’s strategy 2 Identify the significant role projects contribute to the strategic direction of the organization 3 Understand the need for a project priority system 4 Distinguish among three kinds of projects 5 Describe how the phase gate model applies to project management 6 Apply financial and nonfinancial criteria to assess the value of projects (criteria in order to decide) 7 Understand how multi-criteria models can be used to select projects 8 Apply an objective priority system to project selection 9 Understand the need to manage the project portfolio This is a comprehensive lesson plan for about 1.5 hours includes a well-prepared PowerPoint presentation, with video links, interactive exercises, in-depth case studies, and associated reading materials, designed to provide a holistic learning experience. The materials are based on “Project Management: The Managerial Process” of Clifford Gray (Author) and Erik Larson.
