8 * Projects “A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. The temporary nature of projects indicates a definite beginning and end.” Triple Constraint Time (Schedule) Scope (Deliverable) Cost (Resources/Budget)
9
9 * Definition of Project Management “Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.”
10
10 Projects and Programs “A program is defined as a group of related projects managed in a coordinated way… A project may or may not be part of a program, but a program will always have projects.” Project Program
11
11 Projects and Operations Operations are an organizational function performing the ongoing execution of activities that produce the same product or provide a repetitive service… Operations are permanent; projects are temporary endeavors
12
12 Goals of Project Management Meet or exceed stakeholder expectations. Achieve project goals, balancing trade-offs such as time, cost, quality, resources, and other constraints. Manage change through iterative planning and progressive elaboration. Build teamwork, trust, and contributor relationships. Establish effective communications.
13
13 Why Do Projects Fail?
14
14 Project Management Challenges Unclear or poorly understood objectives Excessive schedule pressure Insufficient or uncommitted resources Unrealistic project complexity Shifting priorities and requirements Inadequate communication …
15
15 Becoming a Project Leader Project Leader’s Primary Responsibilities: Achieve project objectives Establish and lead the team Manage the project management process Project Leader vs. Project Contributor Pragmatism over optimization Generalist, not a specialist Succeeds through others; works with people, not things Most of the job involves communication

23 X470 Project Management Topic coverage in UC Berkeley Extension X470 Project Management focuses on basics: All PMI Process Groups will be addressed. Some Knowledge Areas will be covered in detail, others will not. Not every Sub-knowledge Area will be included.
24
24 Project and Product Life Cycles Product life cycles align with project life cycles, but may have phases preceding project work and phases following it. Typical Product Life Cycle Phases Strategy/ Project Selection Project Monitoring Phases Project Acceptance SupportRetirement Typical Project Life Cycle Phases Planning Phases Execute/ Build Phases Test/ Evaluate Closure
25
25
26
26 Project Life Cycles Phased, Stage Gate For projects that are best managed using a succession of phases; generally best for well-defined, routine project work Agile, Iterative For novel projects that are difficult to define; usually most effective for smaller projects having easily developed interim deliverables

36 QUIZ
37
37 Select Projects and Teams for Class Teams of 4 or 5 Consider what project you want to work on Develop Team Operating model
38
38 Team Operating Model Team members Project name Project paragraph Team name How will you communicate? Rotate team lead position
39
39 Team coaching Team lead expectations (set tone, agenda? decide break, don’t do all the work, use your style) OK to change order of leads, just tell me. PLAN the week – this week and next Team expectations (make sure work is done, contribute, what are you best at, check in with people.)
40
40 Project Initiation Select projects Develop project charter Secure project sponsorship Identify stakeholders Plan communications Acquire project team Define initial project scoping and objective Establish project priorities Define a project vision Conduct a project start-up workshop
41
41 Select Projects Factors to consider: –Justification (problem or opportunity) –Sponsorship (management support) –Capacity (staffing, money, resources) –Urgency –Legal/regulatory compliance –… Projects are undertaken for a wide range of reasons.
42
42 Project Initiation At the beginning of a project, seek to answer: –Why does this project matter? –Who benefits from this project? –What project deliverables are required? –When is the project expected to end? –How much will be invested in the project? –What are the project priorities and constraints?
43
43 Develop Project Charter “A project charter is a document that formally authorizes a project and summarizes stakeholder needs and expectations.” (PMBoK 4.1) –A “Charter” may have many other names, and vary significantly in content and length for different projects. –A project charter may exist prior to the project leader’s involvement, but if not (or if inadequate), develop one.
44
44 Project Charter Content Project charters include information such as: –Project purpose or justification –Project leader/manager –Project sponsor authorizing the work –Measurable objectives and initial requirements –Milestone schedule –Initial budget –Completion criteria –High-level risks
45
45 Identify Stakeholders “Identifying all people and organizations impacted by the project, and documenting relevant information regarding their interests, involvement, and impact on project success.” (PMBoK 10.1)
46
46 Secure Project Sponsorship Project sponsors are important stakeholders who: –Authorize the project –Appoint the project leader –Define project priority –Provide or approve resources –Make key decisions and handle escalations –Protect, mentor, and support the project leader and the team For most projects, the sponsor is the primary project stakeholder.

50 Project Stakeholder Analysis
51
51 Plan Communications “Determining the project stakeholder information needs and defining a communications approach.” (PMBoK 10.2)
52
52 Project Communications Decisions Key decisions include: –Project Management Information System (PMIS) –Project meetings –Project status collection –Project reporting –Contributor 1-1 interactions –Sponsor and stakeholder interactions –Project reviews –…
53
53 Acquire Project Team “Confirming human resource availability and obtaining the team necessary to complete project assignments.” (PMBoK 9.2)
54
54 Project Team Analysis Determine the skills you will need. Secure your project team through: –Pre-assignment (aligned with project at start) –Negotiation (acquired from within organization) –Acquisition (hired or contract contributors) Initial analysis is always subject to revision (progressive elaboration). Adjustments are common when setting the project baseline.
55
55 Project Team Roster Create your roster and keep it updated.
56
56 Project Team Challenges Cross-functional teams Contributors who report to others Virtual teams Geography Time zone Language Culture Differing systems, processes, organizations
57
57 Define Initial Project Scoping Part of Project Charter Initial description of project deliverables based on what your sponsor, stakeholders, customers and users request A goal, not a commitment
58
58 Define Project Objective Maximum of 25 words Summary of project scope, time, and cost Clear and understandable Avoid jargon and acronyms Like initial scope, this is only a target Time/ Schedule Cost/ Resources Scope/ Deliverable
59
59 Project Objective Example “I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.... $531 million in this fiscal year....” J. F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961 The United States will send a man to the moon and return him safely to the earth by December 31, 1969, For approximately $10 billion. As a “Project Objective:”
60
60 Establish Project Priorities Time CostScope Least Flexible Moderately Flexible Most Flexible
61
61 Validate Project Objective Restate the request, and iterate as needed to gain consensus. Objective and Priorities Sponsor (And/Or: Customers, Other Stakeholders) Initial Request Project Manager/ Team Objective
62
62 Define a Project Vision Vision is about why your project matters. –Describes how the world will be better or different when the project is successfully completed. –Answers: “What’s in it for me?” –Can motivate the project team. “[We will create] a motor car for the great multitude. It will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one. The automobile will be taken for granted... [and we will] give a large number of men employment at good wages.” - Henry Ford
63
63 Conduct a Start-up Workshop An event where the project team initiates processes to successfully start the project and begin building teamwork. Workshop benefits: –Promote common understanding of project goals and priorities –Create cohesive team –Reduce wasted time, redundant effort –Get a fast start on the project
64
64 Project Infrastructure Make key decisions on project processes, such as: Planning (Who? How? Tools? What documents?) Execution (Status? Metrics? Project Data Storage?) Control (Changes? Reporting? Reviews?) Focus on past and anticipated future Issues.
