Basic knowledge of project management


Project management is a multifaceted activity. Depending on the type and degree

of the project, this management can be very complex. Simply put, project

management is the discipline of planning, organizing, protecting, managing,

directing and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. Project management

is about using specific knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to deliver something

of value to people.


Software development for business process improvement, building construction,

disaster relief, expanding sales into new geographic markets are all examples of

projects where the management tool has greatly simplified the management

process of projects and made it more efficient. Project management provides value

at a strategic and organizational level, is a training and educational tool, and

provides a valuable career path to millions of people around the world.


According to PMI, even basic project management skills can help people from

different industries and job profiles do their jobs better and deliver value and great

results. Project management best practices can help deliver innovative solutions on

time and within budget, saving companies $4,444 million in failed products. Not

just in IT, but project management can also help in healthcare, education,

infrastructure and more.

,What is Project Management? The basics of project management are as follows: A

project is a time-bound endeavor with a defined start and end point (often time-

bound and often budget or performance-bound). achievements) that an

organization uses to work towards achieving unique goals and objectives, often to

capitalize on change or add value.


The main challenge of project management is to achieve all the goals and

objectives of the project while respecting the predefined constraints. The main

constraints are scope, time, quality and budget. The second, more ambitious

challenge is to optimize the allocation of the necessary inputs and to integrate them

to achieve predefined objectives. For a successful project, the following project

management principles are essential prerequisites for completing the course. These

project management principles can be applied at any level or branch of a project in

a different area of responsibility within the overall project organization:


• Project structure


• Definition phase


• Clear targets


• Transparency on the status of the project


• Risk detection

, • Manage project disruptions


• Responsibility of the project manager


• Project success


project structuring


Project management generally revolves around three parameters: quality, resources

and time. A project structure can usually be successfully created by considering the

following:


objective of the project


An answer to the question "What needs to be done" is usually a good starting point

for defining a project goal. This question leads to the work breakdown structure.

This plan consists of work packages, which represent completed units of work that

can be assigned to a human resource. These work packages and their particular

relationships form the structure of the project.


Project schedule and order


A flowchart is a powerful tool for visualizing the start point, end point, and order

of work items in a single diagram.
