4. Principles of Traditional Project Management
Defining
The first task for project managers is to define the work that needs to be done in their area of responsibility.
In this phase ,requestor and project manager come to an agreement.
Defining phase sets the scope of the project.
Every good defining phase answers five basic questions:
What is the problem or opportunity to be addressed?
What is the goal of the project?

5. Principles of Traditional Project Management
Defining
What objectives must be met to accomplish the goal.
How will we determine if the project has been successful?
Are there any risks ,or obstacles that may affect project success?

6. Planning
In traditional project management ,project plan is indispensable.
Project plan is not only road map that how work will be performed
but it is also a tool for decision making.
Plan suggests ,alternatives ,scheduling and resource requirements from which the project manager can select the best alternatives.
Developing a project plan gives following benefits.
Planning reduces uncertainty.
Planning increases understanding.
Planning improves efficiency.

7. Executing
Executing the project plan mean authorizing your staff to perform the tasks that define their respective jobs.
Executing the project plan involves four steps.
1- Identify the specific resources (person,power,materials and money) that will be required to accomplish the work.
2- Assign workers to activities.
3- Schedule activities with specific start and end dates.
4- Launch the plan.

8. Controlling
As part of the planning process, an initial is created. The schedule lists the following :
What must be accomplished in the project
When each task must be accomplished.
Who is responsible for completing each task.
What deliverables are expected as a result of completing the project.

9. Closing
Closing a project is a formal means of signaling the completion of the project work and the delivery of the results to the customer.
Every good closing provide answers to the following questions:
Do the project deliverables meet the expectations of the requestor .
Do the project deliverables meet the expectations of the project manager?

10. Closing Did the project team complete the project according to plan?
What information was collected that will help with latter projects.
How well did the project management methodology work and
how well did the project team follow it?
What lessons have we learned from this project?
