Views of ConflictsOld New
Conflict is dysfunctional and cause by personality differences or a failure of leadership
Conflict is an inevitable consequence of organizational interaction
Conflict is to be avoided Conflict can be beneficial
Conflict is resolved by physical separation or management intervention
Conflict is resolved by identifying the causes and problem solving by the people involved and their immediate manager
Treat conflicts as expressions of stakeholders’ needs and expectations!
13
Conflict Resolution Modes• Confrontation (Problem
Solving) Facing the conflict directly, which involves a problem-solving approach whereby affected parties work through their disagreements.
• Compromising Bargaining and searching for solutions that bring some degree of satisfaction to the parties in a dispute. Characterized by a “give-and-take” attitude.
• Withdrawal Retreating or withdrawing from an actual or potential disagreement.
• Forcing Exerting one’s viewpoint at the potential expense of another. Often characterized by competitiveness and a win-lose situation.
• Smoothing De-emphasizing or avoiding areas of difference and emphasizing areas of agreement.
Conflict Resolution Objectives1. Solve the conflict / problem2. Do it in a way that builds relationships
No tricks!
Pause and think before reactingKeep the meeting under controlListen to all involved partiesExpress your views in a way that resonates with the other parties
Be willing to say when you were wrong
Not act as a superman and leveling the discussion only once in a while
Know the organization Clarify the nature of the
conflict Understand the conflict
motives / feelings / mental models (specially yours)
Suggest procedures for resolving differences
Facilitate the communications process

Project Communication Management
• Collection and dissemination of performance information to stakeholders with info on how resources are being used to meet project goals– Status reporting (where project stands vs.
baselines)– Progress reporting (accomplishments)– Forecasting (prediction of future performance)– Risks (present and future) assessment – Special problems / management assistance

Earned Value Management (EVM)
23
Earned Value Management (EVM)
• Planned Value (PV) – the physical work scheduled to be performed, including the estimated value of this work. (a.k.a. Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled - BCWS)
• Earned Value (EV) – the physical work actually accomplished, including the estimated value of this work. (a.k.a. Budgeted Cost of Work Performed - BCWP)
• Actual Cost (AC) - the actual cost incurred to accomplish the earned value. (Actual Cost of Worked Performed - ACWP)
24
Earned Value ExampleA work on a project task is expected to cost $1500 to complete and the workers were scheduled to finish today. As of today however, the workers have actually expended $1350 and the best estimate is the task is 2/3 complete. Determine the Planned Value, Actual Cost and Earned Value at this point in time.
Planned Value (PV) = $1500 (work scheduled/planned to be Planned Value (PV) = $1500 (work scheduled/planned to be completed)completed)
Actual Cost (AV) = $1350
Earned Value (EV) = 1500(2/3)= $1000 (work actually completed)
25
Earned Value Formulae
Cost Variance (CV) CV = EV - AC
Schedule Variance (SV) SV = EV - PV
Cost Variance in % CVP = (CV/EV)100%
Schedule Variance in % SVP = (SV/PV)100%
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
CPI = EV/AC
Schedule Performance Index
(SPI)
SPI = EV/PV
26
Estimate at Completion
EAC = ACEV
X
The estimate at completion is the best estimate of the total cost at the completion of the project.
The EAC is a periodic evaluation of the status of the project - usually on a monthly basis or until a significant change has been identified.
(BAC) Other Formulae
a. Actual plus new estimate to complete
EAC = AC + ETC
b. Actual plus remaining budget (PV)
EAC = AC + (BAC – EV)
c. Actual plus remaining budget modified by the performance index
EAC = AC + (BAC – EV)/CPI
27
Using Earned ValueProject: Software enhancement for a drug company
Baseline: Entire effort priced at $200K and scheduled for completion June 10th
As of June 10: Project cost to date is $195K. One activity is left in the project estimated to cost $25K.
Find cost and schedule variance amounts, cost and schedule variance percentages, cost and schedule performance indexes, and estimate at completion amount.
28
Using EV SolutionGiven:BAC = $200K, PV = $200K, AC = $195KLast Activity Cost = $25KSolution:EV = 200K – 25K = $175K
CV = EV – AC = 175K- 195K = -$20KSV = EV – PV = 175K – 200K = -$25KCV% = (CV / EV) 100% = (-20/175) 100% = -11%SV % = (SV / PV) 100% = (-25/200) 100% = -12.5%CPI = EV / AC = 175 / 195 = .897SPI = EV / PV = 175 / 200 = .875

Quality Management
• Project quality management includes the process required to ensure that the project satisfies the needs for which it is undertaken.
– Conformance to requirements: the project’s processes and products meet written specifications
– Fitness for use: a product can be used as it was intended
Quality Processes• Quality planning:
– identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them
– Clear scope statement, acceptance criteria
• Quality assurance:– applying the planned, systematic quality activities to ensure all processes
needed to meet requirements are employed.
• Quality control:– monitoring specific project results to determine whether they comply with
applied quality standards, and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory performance.
"You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledge hammer on the construction site.” -- Frank Lloyd Wright
33
Product vs. Project Quality
• Project Quality: – Applies to all aspects of the project,
regardless of the product
• Product Quality– Product quality measures and techniques are
specific to the particular type of product produced by the project
34
Quality Planning
• Identify which variables have the most influence on the overall outcome of a process
• Cost-benefit tradeoffs
35
Quality Assurance
• Continuous quality improvement
• Benchmarking
• Audits
36
Quality Control• Cause-and-effect diagrams trace complaints about
quality problems back to the responsible production operations– They help you find the root cause of a problem– Also known as fishbone or Ishikawa diagrams
37
Quality Control Charts
• A control chart is a graphic display of data that illustrates the results of a process over time
• Quality control charts allow you to determine whether a process is in control or out of control– When a process is in control, any variations in the results
of the process are created by random events; processes that are in control do not need to be adjusted
– When a process is out of control, variations in the results of the process are caused by nonrandom events; you need to identify the causes of those nonrandom events and adjust the process to correct or eliminate them
38
Pareto Diagram
• Pareto analysis is also called the 80-20 rule, meaning that 80 percent of problems are often due to 20 percent of the causes
• In the below chart, Log-in Problems account for about 55% of the complaints and together with System lock-ups accounts for about 80%
