Introduction to Project Management

Description
project management and it contains topics like project management, project feasibility analysis, project planning and control, Gantt chart, network diagram, problems.

Introduction to Project Management

Project
• Project is any work that has:
?
? ?

A well defined objective / goal Sequence of the multitudinous activities A specific start and end

• Project Characteristics
? ?

The start is known as source and end is known as sink A project can have multiple sources (start) but will have a single sink (end)

• Examples: Building of a dam, Bandra-Worli sea link, Chandrayaan, Repair of a machine etc.

Project Feasibility Analysis
1. Generation of project ideas
o

Constrains to be considered are physical, human and financial resources On the basis of priority and later on available resources

2. Screening of generated ideas
o

3. Detailed evaluation of the screened project
o
o o o

Analysis of technical feasibility Measurement of cost Measurement of benefits Comparison of benefits & cost



Project Management is the scientific way of planning, implementing, monitoring & controlling various aspects of a project such as time, money, materials, manpower 3 and other resources

Project Planning & Control
• Tools for project planning and control
?

Network Techniques
o o

Critical Path Method (CPM) Programme Evaluation & Review Technique (PERT)

?

Bar charts e.g Gantt Chart

• Comparison of Bar charts & Network techniques
? ? ?

Bar charts does not show relationship between jobs Charts are static Networks shows relationship in jobs and required resources
