What is project?
Is a project any different from say, operations or business as usual?
So what’s the difference?
Project Operations or Business as Usual

What is a project? (PMI)
• “A project is a temporary endeavour to create a i d t i ltunique product, service or result
– temporary:
• definite beginning and end
• but not necessarily short
• does not apply to the what is produced
– unique:
• may include repetitive elements without affecting uniqueness
Project Management Institute. (2008). A guide to the project management body of knowledge (4th ed.). Newtown Square, Pennsylvania: Project Management Institute, p.1
What is a project? (OGC)
• “A project is temporary organization that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed business case”
• Distinguished from business as usual:– change: means of introducing change– temporary: once desire change implemented, business as usual resumes
– cross‐functional: involves a temporary team of people with multi‐disciplinary skillsmulti‐disciplinary skills
– unique: even similar projects may be different (e.g. team, location, customer)
– uncertainty: generally higher risk than business as usual

Principles• Continued business justification
– To start a project– Which remains valid throughout the project life‐cycle– Which is documented and approved
• Learn from experiencep– Collected, recorded and acted upon throughout the project life‐cycle
• Defined and agreed roles and responsibilities– Within an organization structure that engages business, user and supplier stakeholder
interests
• Manage by stages– Project is planned, monitored and controlled on a stage‐by‐stage basis
• Manage by exception– Within defines tolerances for each project objective to establish limits of delegated
authorityy– Tolerances: Time, Cost, Quality, Scope, Risk, Benefit
• Focus on products– Focuses on the definition and delivery of products, in particular their quality requirements
• Tailor/embed to suit the environment– Including size, complexity, importance, capability and risk– tailoring is adapting the project method to project context– Embedding adapting within corporate environment
Office of Government Commerce. (2009). Managing successful projects with PRINCE2. London: The Stationery Office, pp. 11‐14
PRINCE2 ThemesBusiness Case How an idea is developed into a viable investment proposition; how project
management maintains focus on organizations objectives throughout the project
Organization Roles and responsibilities in the temporary project team required to manage the project effectivelythe project effectively
Quality Ensuring all stakeholders understand the quality attributes of the products to be delivered; defining how project management will ensure these requirements are delivered
Plans Projects proceed on the basis of a series of approved plans. Complements the quality theme. Plans matched to the needs of personnel at various organizational levels. Focus for communication and control.
Risk Managing uncertainty in plans and environmentg g y p
Change Assessing and acting upon issues which may affect the project (plans and completed products) e.g. unanticipated general problems, requests for change or instances of quality failure
Progress Ensuring ongoing viability of plan—determining whether or how projects should proceed. Explains decision‐making process for approving plans, monitoring actual performance, and escalation process for exceptions

the following changes in project scale:Project Scale CharacteristicProject Scale Characteristic
Program Business transformation
Daunting project High risk, cost, importance, visibilityMultiple organizationsMulti‐disciplinary (e.g. construction, IT and business change)International
Normal project Medium risk, cost, importance, visibilityCommercial customer/supplier relationship

Simple project Multiple sites
Task If there is a single Project Board (and typically the Executive is the Project Manager’s line manager) then it could normally be treated as a task.The Project Manager may also be doing the workThe costs may be within the ‘business as usual’ budgetStraight‐forward business justificationLow

Focus on:• Process responsibilities• Scaling rules/guidance• Standards• Training and development• Integration with business processes• Tools
Focus on:• Adapting the themes (through strategies and controls)
• Incorporating specific terms/language• Revising the Product Descriptions for the management products
• Revising the role descriptions for the• Tools• Process assurance
• Revising the role descriptions for the PRINCE2 roles
• Adjusting the processes to match the above
Hints on Choosing a Project Methodology• What benefits can be gained by implementing a formal project management methodology within the organization?
• How would you describe the current project management process or methodology? If there is no formal methodology, try to determine what processes seem to be common or repeated.
• What is the greatest challenge encountered by the project manager during project planning and execution? There may be a few of these challenges, so make sure you include the ones that seem to be most prevalent.
• What metrics or performance measures are currently being used to determine project performance levels? If there are no official metrics used, identify the metrics you use to determine performance. These metrics may include: schedule progress, completed deliverables, activities that have begun, activities in progress, quality (number of defects or repairs), actual cost, percent complete of an activity, efficiency in the use of resources.
• What metrics are missing and should be included in the process of managing project performance? Compare with other project‐basedorganizations.
• How would you describe the efficiency of the project status meetings that are scheduled and conducted within your organization? How well are your meetings managed? What information is included in project status reports?
• How does a project team identify all of the project stakeholders? Do project team members understand the true definition of astakeholder?
• How are project stakeholder requirements determined and documented? This includes requirements about information distribution.
• How often is project status communicated to project stakeholders? What criteria are used to determine who should receive information and when?
• How are projects selected for implementation? What is the specific selection process used for determining which projects are most beneficial for the organization?
• What is the process for reviewing/auditing project performance?
• What formal project management training is available for the organization? What percentage of the organization has attended someform of project training?
• How are changes to project plans and project baselines managed? What are the organization's policies or processes for managing change?
• How is a project team selected?
• What is the role of the project manager?
• How are project risks identified and managed?
• What criteria are being used to determine project success?
• When is a project considered to be complete?
• What is the process for closing out a completed project?
• What is the process for project reviews?Saladis, F. P., & Kerzner, H. (2009). Bringing the PMBoK guide to life: A companion for the practising project manager. Hoboken, New Jersey: Wiley, Chapter 4

Projects have livesSome not as long as we’d like
Some much longer than we’d like
http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/climatology/wa.shtmlhttp://www.lifecycle.net.au/about‐lifecycle/
Project Lifecycle• Definition
– The phases which make up the project from beginning to end
• Characteristics– What technical work to do in each phase?– When the deliverables are to be generated in each
phase and how each deliverable is reviewed, verified and validated?
79
verified, and validated?– Who is involved in each phase? – How to control and approve each phase?– Phase transition usually involves transfer or handoff
