, Hoofdstuk 1 An Introduction to Project Management
The book has been divided into five sections. The first introduces students to the basic
principles of project management. The second throws light on how to define a project. The
third covers various concepts related to planning and implementing a project. The fourth
discusses on the steps involved in the execution and control of projects. The last one focuses
on the various issues to be resolved in managing projects.
Ashahebsed a tomb builder for the Pharaoh of Egypt – Ramsys the great - can be regarded as
the best project manager in history. He had built so many tombs for the 19th dynasty that he
was never rendered jobless. He had faced several changes in the scale of jobs done by him,
due to the birth of over 100 sons and daughters.
According to the latest edition of the book titled Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK) published by the Project Management Institute (PMI), a project is defined as a
“temporary endeavor undertaken to produce a unique product, service or a result”. In reality,
no project exactly conforms to this definition, as is evident from the history of the Egyptian
tomb builder.
Tom Peters (1998) put forth his argument that over 50% jobs performed in companies can be
considered as projects.
Dr.J.M.Juran also felt it as a problem situation which requires result. The nature of problem
could be good or bad depending on the area of occurrence.
1.1 What is Project Management?
PMBOK edition which was released in 2004 states Project Management as “application of
knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements.
Project management is accomplished through application and integration of the project
management processes of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and
closing”. The project activities are so complex that it is difficult to define in a single
document. In short, project management involves dealing with politics, motivating team to
perform and balancing scarce resources.
1.2 “Instant-Pudding” Project Management
It was observed in 1999 that the Lewis Method of project management in the US was same as
the one in Germany. There was a feeling that when a planning software or tool was
purchased, it would meet the instant requirements. Though it is not the right solution, it has
been in practice worldwide.
1.3 Tools, People and Systems
It should be understood that Project Management is not a tool, a title or a combination. People
trust projects are easily managed by techies. Two main things to be considered in all projects
are “what” and “how”. These are closely interlinked. Credits: chapter 1; page 10; Project
Planning Scheduling and Control; James P.Lewis.
In the absence of right processes or techniques, tools can only measure and document failures
or non-conformances. An example of this is putting software to work in a project without
training people who are responsible for its operation. Likewise, training people without
deploying software is also a wasteful exercise.
