Project Management

Introduction

Process Classification

• Operations
  • Repetitive process (flow)
    • Repeat the same activities for each output (work unit is repeated)
    • Standardized product/process
    • Coordination by role/procedure
    • Min/maximized improvement of the performances
    • Permanent organization
• Project
  • Non-repetitive process (impulse)
    • There is something new
    • It's temporarly defined activities/starting date specific time limited
    • Great concentration effort
    • Unique result/process (progressively developed)
    • Coordination by direct interaction
    • Continuous improvements of the PM system
    • Temporary organization

Project Processes

1. Operational
   • Progress specific
     • Engineering → production of technical documents
     • Procurement → purchase items and boarding to the site
     • Construction → physical items installation & construction
     • Commissioning/test → check that the system is correctly functioning
2. Managerial
   • Consistently planned, but adaptive
     • Initiation (startup) → what to do?
     • Planning → plan & schedule
     • Monitoring (continuous process) → check the coherence of the progress with the plan
     • Control → taking corrective actions based on the detection in order to achieve time/cost obj
     • Close out
3. Organizational
   • Human Resources
     • Recruiting selection execution
     • Allocating role assignment responsibility/authenticity

Project Manager

• Main Features
  • Knowledge = something you learn studying (theory)
  • Skills = something that you gain during working experience (practice)
  • Attitude = related to the person, leadership attitude
• Future Flaws
  • Inability to learn from mistakes
  • Lack of core management skills (interaction between hard and soft skills)
  • Lack of leading participants involvement
  • Lack of accountability → PM should take responsibility of the results
  • Lack of initiative

PM Opposite Poles

• Objectives & Stakeholders
• Hard vs Soft Value
• Symbiosis vs Analysis
• Deterministic vs Stochastic

Usual objectives change;
