Project Management

” Project Management is to fulfill the objective of the project activities through other sources ”

The Project Management is the creation of the required products or services in the defined standards in a predetermined time unit, and the agreed costs.When you are satisfied all these conditions can be reductive to talk about a successful project – access to the Barnes triangle.

In the design of project management is necessary to align all three conditions, so that competing against each other. Barnes triangle is the basis for determining customer preferences and the determination of a clear direction for the project management methodology. Customer its location in the triangle, which clearly defines the parameters of the project (quality, cost, time) is preferred. In view of this preference then project manager selects the appropriate technology and methods, then other parameters makes the preferred target [1]. It should be noted that this does not correspond to effective project management.

Barnes triangle is the conventional approach to identifying customer preferences in this section, I think you will be closer and a different approach – “four corners of the method” [2].

This method makes it clear path between the corners at the start of the project, which will be used for subsequent detailed planning, presentation of the project for approval, the weekly monitoring results, the handling of changes and complications. This method easily shows the impact of changes in investor to run the project. If an investor wants to shorten the project duration counted affect the other “corners” project.

Both methods led to the same goal and that is to define and introduce a key investor reliance on successful change management project – the impact of the investor changes the final outcome of the project.

Cycle project

Defining a universal project cycle is not possible, therefore, focus only on investment projects at the heart of the entire portal. Next is a list of activities necessary for the project – the project cycle, processed according to the methodology PMBOK ® Guide, 3rd Edition. This will certainly be a good guide for beginning project managers ..
