The Primary Challenges of Project Management Application

 What is Construction Management? - Construction management is a professional service that provides a project’s owner(s) with effective management of the project's schedule, cost, quality, safety, scope, and function. A capital project is made up of three parties (excluding the CM): The owner, who commissions the project  and either funds the project directly or finances it through a variety of methods. The architect/engineer, who designs the  project.  The general contractor, who oversees day-to-day operations and manages subcontractors. What is Project Management? - Sequential completion of activities and task given in specific time and cost parameters with standard specifications What is Project Management Information Systems (PMIS)?



 

A kind of a system necessary for integrating multifunctional tasks and for tying schedules , costs, and work performance together. Modern method of project planning and control require a system to handle information efficiently Project management software has a capacity to help plan, organize, and manage resource

Advantages of The Sophistication of The Software  Scheduling  Cost Control & Budget Management  Resource Allocation  Collaboration Software  Communication  Decision-Making  Quality Management  Documentation or Administration Systems Tasks and Activities of Applications Scheduling - To sequence project activities and assign dates and resources to them. - The detail and sophistication of a schedule produced by a scheduling tool can vary considerably with the features provided and the scheduling methods supported. Scheduling may include support for;

    

Multiple dependency relationship types between activities Resource assignment and levelling The Critical Path and Critical Chain methods Activity duration estimation and probability-based simulation Activity cost accounting

Providing Information  - Project planning software can be expected to provide information to various people or stakeholders, and can be used to measure and justify the level of effort required to complete the project.

Overview information on how long tasks

Information on workload, for planning holidays Evidence Historical information on how projects have progressed Optimum utilization of available resource Cost Maintenance

Achieve all of the project goals and objectives The primary challenges are scope, time, quality and budget. The secondary and more ambitious challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and integrate them to meet pre-defined objectives. Scheduling of operational activities to the concern team Time management and time study

Key Features Project Management   Project Tracking Project Planning  Project Reports  Time Tracking   BugTracking Objectives Task Management   Project Planning and Process Graphical Schedule Representations  Risk Management  Issue Management  Business Benefits  Access projects anywhere and anytime  Finish projects in time without delay  Access from a single place  Structured bug handling  Centralized collaboration  Organizing projects effectively  Instant bug tracking  Immediate solution for issues  Effective communication

THE SOFTWARE USED IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND PROJECT LIFE CYCLE - The project management life cycle describes high-level processes for delivering a successful project. The 4 Phases of the Project Management Life CycleProject Initiation: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Project Initiation Project Planning Project Execution Project Closure

PROJECT INITIATION - During this step, you figure out an objective for your project, determine whether the project is feasible, and identify the major deliverables for the project. Steps for the project initiation phase may include the following: a) b) c) d) e) f)

Develop a Business Care Undertake a Feasibility Study Establish the Terms of Reference Appoint a Project Team Setup a Project Office Perform Phase Review

PROJECT PLANNING - During this phase of the project management life cycle, you break down the larger project into smaller tasks, build your team, and prepare a schedule for the completion of assignments. Steps for the project planning phase may include the following: a)

Create a Project Plan

d) e) f) g) h) i) j)

Create a Quality Plan Create a Risk Plan Create an Acceptance Plan Create a Communication Plan Create a Procurement Plan Contact the Suppliers Perform Phase Review

PROJECT EXECUTION - The execution phase turns your plan into action. The project manager’s job in this phase of the project management life cycle is to keep work on track, organize team members, manage timelines, and make sure the work is done according to the original plan. a) b) c) d) e)

Creating tasks and organizing workflows Briefing team members on tasks Communicating with team members, clients, and upper management Monitoring quality of work Managing budget

PROJECT CLOSURE - you provide final deliverables, release project resources, and determine the success of the project. Just because the major project work is over, that doesn’t mean the project manager’s job is done—there are still important things to do, including evaluating what did and did not work with the project. Perform Project Closure  Review Project Completion

ISSUE - In computing, the term issue is a unit of work to accomplish an improvement in a system. An issue could be a bug, a requested feature, task, missing documentation, and etc. SEVERITY LEVEL Critical High The bug or issue affects a  crucial part of a system, and must be fixed in order for it to resume normal operation. Medium The bug or issue affects a minor  part of a system, but has some impact on its operation. This severity level is assigned when a non-central requirement of a system is affected.  Low The bug or issue affects a minor part of a system, and has very little impact on its operation. This severity level is assigned when a non-central requirement of a system (and with lower importance) is affected. COSMETICS  In many software companies, issues are often investigated by Quality Assurance Analysts when they verify a system for correctness, and then assigned to the developer(s) that are responsible for resolving them. The system works correctly, but the  appearance does not match the expected one. THE PROBLEM - It used to take this industrial manufacturer up to 80 hours a month to modify and manage the job schedule. The scheduling manager would print out a copy of the spreadsheet and mock up changes for an administrative assistant to make the actual changes. THE ANALYSIS  The customer’s bottom line depended on the timely and efficient scheduling of heavy equipment trucks and operating crews.  The widely separated job locations and extended planning windows were
