No charter → No project

High level description of

product, service or result

of the project.

Guides the project

execution. Specifies who,

what, when, where.

Progressively elaborated

Used to document

subsidiary plans

Here is where things

get done!

Creation of Deliverables

for customers to review

Are deliverables aligned with

project’s plan? Track, review

progress to meet

performance objectives.

Shutting down the project

and/or phase properly.

Review the scope baseline

to ensure completion.

Finalize ALL activities.

Transfer of project products

to operations, production or

next phase.

Access how changes in

project’s scope impact the

project. Review, aprov. and

manage chg. to deliverables

Logical Processes to

understand the scope and

verify if the product was

completed correctly.

PM should rigidly control de

scope and changes should

be handled in a structured,

procedural and controlled

manner.

Overview all scope

processes and plans. How

scope will be delivered.

Perform Int. Chg. Ctrl. is

focused on managing

changes to the project scope

while Monitor & Direct Proj.

Work is focused on

managing the way that

Ensure that product, serv. or

result of the project matches

the scope. Formalize

acceptance of completed

project deliverables.

Used to accept deliverables.

what is needed to satisfy

stakeholders and meet

project objectives

deeper understanding of

project's requirements

Maintain control of the

project by preventing scope

change requests from

overwhelming the project.

Allows the scope baseline to

be maintained through proj.

Deliverable oriented,

hierarchical decomposition

of project work

Center of project info.

It is the primary tool for

controlling project scope

Project Manager should be

in control of Schedule,

which is derived from Scope

Baseline and other

information.

Schedule is managed

throughout the life of the

project.

Schedule should consider

calendar requirements,

constraints and strategic

goals

Defines how the Schedule

Mgt. Process will be carried

out

Compare the work

results with the plan.

Make sure that time

related performance on

the project is in line with

the plan.

Schedule should be

controlled proactively.

Constantly performed

until all scheduled

activities has been

completed.

Monitor status of proj.

activities and manage

changes to schedule

baseline.

Create a list that represents

all activities that need to take

place to complete project

Arrange the activities in

order that they must be

performed

Analyze the proj. activities to

determine the resource

requirements

Estimate how long each

activity will take

Elements of Quality:

  1. Customer Satisfaction

  2. Prevention over

inspection

  1. Continuous Improvement

or “Kaizen”, Just in Time,

“Kanban” (Perform Qty.

Assurance process)

  1. Mgt. Responsibility

  2. Cost of quality

  3. DIRFT – “Do it right the

first time”

Monitor and record results of

executing quality activities to

assess performance and

recommend necessary.

Changes.

Measurements we have in

place to detect and repair

any remaining defects.

Creation of the project’s

schedule

Analyze act. sequences,

durations, resources, req.

and constraints to create

schedule

Object: Complete project within

the approved budget

Need to constantly monitor cost.

Life Cycle Costing: total cost of

ownership from creation to

disposal – analyze the bigger

picture of costs.

Value Engineering: get more out

of the project in every possible

way

Cost Management should

happen early in the project

and requires a clear scope

and work breakdown

structure

Cost and Scope are tightly

connected.

Create policies, procedures

and docs. for managing

costs.

Primary concern is cost

variance.

Measure what was executed

with what was planned to

have accurate planning.

Keep project on budget.

Monitor and update project

costs and manage changes

to cost baseline.

Analyze schedule activities

to evaluate time, resources

and costs (How Much?)

Approximate the resources

and related costs to

complete the project.

Aggregate estimated costs

of individual activities to

establish baseline (When?)

Linked to Estimate Costs

Budget is determined by

Expert Judgement (anyone)

Quality: analyze the degree to

which a set of inherent

characteristics fulfill

requirements

Key terms: Total Quality

Mgt. (TQM); Kaizen, Just in

Time (Kanban), ISO 9000,

Standard Devi., Prevention

Identify quality standards

and how the project will

implement them

Ensure quality mgt. plan and

metrics are followed.

Prevent defects (Prevention)

Implement quality standards

Measurement and analysis

of the tests results on the

deliverables to make sure

quality metrics are met.

HR Mgt. is related to define a

role for everyone on the project

and to define the responsibilities

for each of these roles.

PMs must be team leaders and

lead the team to give their best

for the project.

Defines the roles and

responsibilities to staff,

manage, team-build,

assess and improve

project team

Provide staffing for the

project and confirm

resources availability

Build a sense of team,

improve and enhance its

performance

Actively manage proj. team

to ensure and track perform.

according to the plan

Covers all tasks related to

producing, compiling, sending,

storing, distributing, and

managing project records.

How comm. will be distrib.?

Format of comm. What will

be communicated? When

and who will receive comm.?

Develop communication

approach based on StkH

needs. Plan is continuous

and regularly reviewed.

Create, collect, distribute,

store, retrieve & dispose of

communications in accord.

with Communications Plan

Compare comm. execution

with its original plan to find

problems/failures. Ensure

comm. meets StkH needs

Risk is related to uncertain

events

Risk might affect projects for

good or for bad.

PM should be in control and

proactively manage events,

avoiding problems as much

as possible, anticipate and

identify risks and how to

qualify, quantity and

respond when they occur.

Types of Risk: Business,

Pure, Insurable, Known

(anticipated) and Unknown

Process of defining how to

conduct and approach risk

activities for a project

Iterative process to

confirm if the risks has been

properly planned;

Track identified risks, identify

new ones and ensure risk

management effectiveness

Ensure that risks responses

are implemented and

effective.

Do nothing about the risks

themselves, but ensure risk

responses are effective

The more people involved in

identifying risks, the more

risks can be identified

Identify which risks can

impact the project and

understand its nature

Assign numerical rating to

prioritized risks; quantify

uncertainty to plan action;

Determine which risks are

the higher priority on the

project (Prioritization)

Assign values to quantify the

risks, analyze the effect of

project risks numerically

Enhance positive and

reduce negative risks with

adequate responses

Create and document the

plan to handle positive and

negative risks.

Formal process related to

obtaining goods, services, or

scope from outside of the

organization

Point of Total Assumption or

PTA=Target Cost+(ceiling

price-target price) / ABC %

share of cost overrun

Determine which

components or services will

be performed internally and

which will be outsourced.

Select sellers and service

providers and award the

procurement, usually in the

form of a contract

Continuously review the

contract by buyer and seller

to ensure that work results

match the contract

Termination of the contract

(i) by delivery of contracted

items; (ii) by default or (iii) by

convenience (strong reason)

Manage expectations that drive

StkH satisfaction. “Creation and

maintenance of relationships

with the aim to satisfy needs.”

List all stakeholders and

describe their involvement

and main expectations on

the project.

How the team will relate to

the StkH and what will be its

involvement & expectation in

all aspects of the project.

Use communications and

the issue log to ensure

proper StkH involvement to

meet their expectations

How the plan of engaging

and involving stakeholders

lines up with the results.

Keep StkH engaged

Facilitated Workshops and

Alternative Generation,

Product Analysis, Expert J.

Variance Analysis

(EVM formulas)

Measure differences

between what was defined

in the scope baseline and

what was created

Decomposition

TIME

Project Manager should always

perform a Reserve Analysis (aka

Reserves or Buffers ) insert extra

time in schedule and money in

the budget to create a

Contingency Reserve to prevent

“Known-Unknown” factors that

might impact the project. Also

applicable to Risk Management

knowledge area.

Contingency Reserve should not

be confused with Padding,

creating reserves in a deceitful

manner

Resource Optimiz. Tech.

“Resource Leveling” or

“Smoothing” is making

adjustments in the schedule to

accommodate changes in

resources.

LEADS – allow an activity to start

early, anticipate the activity.

LAGS – creating mandatory

delays in a project schedule (ex.:

wait for concrete to dry). Both can

be made with lump sums or

Percentages.

Modeling Techniques

WHAT-IF SCENARIO ANALYSIS

  • aka “Monte Carlo Analysis”,

used with risk monitoring to review

various scenarios and bring

schedule into alignment with Proj.

Management Plan

Expert Judgment

Analytical Techniques

Meetings Critical Path Method

Estimate minimum project

duration and schedule

flexibility

Critical Chain Method

Created by Eliyahu Goldratt,

based on the theory of

constraints. To create

contingency reserves he

suggest the identification of

“bottlenecks” in the projects

and add buffers between

activities. Once a buffer is

added the critical path – the

longest path in a project –

becomes the “critical chain”.

Performance Reviews

Determine how the project is

progressing against the
