Temporary
A project ends when its objectives have been reached.

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to

create a unique product, service, or result. The
temporary nature of projects indicates that a project
has a definite beginning and end. The end is reached
when the projects objectives have been achieved or
when the project is terminated because its objectives
will not or cannot be met, or when the need for the
project no longer exists PMIs PMBOK 5th Edition

Because of the uniqueness of Construction, Four (4) Knowledge Areas

were added (based on 3rd Edition of PMBOK for Construction )
Successful construction projects means
meeting all three goals (scope, time,
and cost) and satisfying the
projects sponsor/Client!

What is Project Success?

Measured in terms of completing the
project within the constraints of scope,
time, cost, quality and risk.
Approved between the project
managers and senior organizational
management.
The Project Manager is responsible and
accountable for project success.
 Organizational Project Management
OPM : The alignment and systematic management
of projects, programs and portfolios to achieve
strategic organizational goals.
 Project and Strategic Planning
Projects are typically authorized as a result of one or more of
the following Strategic considerations (PMBOK 5th Edition)
Market Demands
Strategic Opportunity / Business Needs
Social Needs
Environmental Considerations
Customer Request
Technological advances
Legal Requirement
Projects, Programs & Portfolios are a means of achieving
organizational goals and objectives, often in the context of a
strategic plan
How Would You Differentiate Between a
Strategic Project and a Tactical Project?

A strategic project is focused on expanding or changing

your organization's objectives, capabilities, or direction in
order to achieve a higher level of success. (e.g., build a new
facility; reengineer a business process or workflow.)

A tactical project is designed to produce a specific

deliverable (e.g., develop a new sales brochure; choose a
replacement for an aging computer).
 What is the PMO?
Project Management Office
A project management office(PMO) is a management
structure that standardizes the project-related
governance processes and facilitates the sharing of
resources, methodologies, tools, and techniques. The
responsibilities of a PMO can range from providing
project management support functions to actually being
responsible for the direct management of one or more
projects.
There in no such thing as a universal solution.

To be effective, a PMO must be tailored to your

organisations project types, management/staff
capabilities, and organisation culture
Types of Project Management Office
Supportive PMO
It provide a consultative role to projects by supplying templates,
best practices, training, access to information and lessons learned
from other projects. This type of PMO serves as a project
repository. The degree of control provided by the PMO is low.
Controlling PMO
It provide support and require compliance through various
means. Compliance may involve adopting project management
frameworks or methodologies, using speci c templates, forms and
tools, or conformance to governance. The degree of control
provided by the PMO is moderate.
Directive PMO
It take control of the projects by directly managing the projects.
The degree of control provided by the PMO is high.

Business Value
The U.S. spends $2.3 trillion on projects every year, an
amount equal to one-quarter of the nations gross
domestic product (GDP).
The world as a whole spends nearly $10 trillion of its
$40.7 trillion gross product on projects of all kinds.
More than sixteen million people regard project
management as their profession; on average, a
project manager earns more than $82,000 per year.*

Motivation for Project Management
Construction projects have a terrible track record.
Generally, only few projects in the country were
successful in meeting scope, time, and cost goals.
Several projects were canceled/shelved before
completion.
Uncontrolled rate of variation orders is prevalent in
the projects
In local setting, Project management functions are
typically tagged as post office role
Less value added results are attributed to PM role
Why should we try
and understand
Project
Management?

Because project
management is universally
acknowledged as a vital tool
for improving and optimizing
performance and results!
Why should I learn about project management?

You cannot allow your organization to stay static and simply concentrate on doing
the routine day to day work. Delivering most products and services has become
very competitive driven by the economy and technological advances. To survive and
thrive, you are going to have to compete by satisfying your "customers" better than
your competition does.

One of the best ways of achieving that is to deliver traditional services better and
new services quicker. Sometimes the way to do either of these will require
adaptation and improvement of your business processes or information systems.

Sometimes a radical change in the way services are delivered affect many different
workers, clients and, possibly, even vendors. Changing your operations, its
structure, its information system are all examples of efforts that will justify a
disciplined approach to planning and implementing change. And you and your staff
will be undertaking many such projects if you want to be among the survivors.
Project management provides such a disciplined approach.
 ROLE OF A Project manager
A project manager is a person who has the overall
responsibility for the successful initiation, planning,
design, execution, monitoring, controlling and closure
of a project.
Project managers are change agents: they make
project goals their own and use their skills and
knowledge to inspire a sense of shared purpose
within the project team. They enjoy the organized
adrenaline of new challenges and the responsibility
of driving business results. ( PMI, 2016 )

BASED ON PMBOK 5TH EDITION BASED ON PMBOK 3RD EDITION

Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK) was first published
by the Project Management Institute
(PMI) in 1987, but was improved
throughout years by Guides published in
2000, 2004.

English language 5th edition published in

2013, but expected to have a 6th edition
by this year 2016 up to 2017.
Finally, project managers who are familiar with PMBOK
can custom tailor their project management process
to best fit their company's needs.

Old saying:
To break the rules, first you have to know
the rules.

In the long run, this means that companies will have

less of a reason to outsource when projects require
special treatment.
