Project management is used to :
1- To clearly identify problems and deal with them directly at the sources.
2- The best method to achieve unique goals.
3- Dealing efficiently with the scarce resources.
4- Mitigate the operations’ risks from “A” to “Z”.
5- Setting clear responsibilities for all staff and the key tasks as well.
6- Setting timing schedule for all project’s processes and stages for easy monitoring and contrl.
7- Facilitating proper communications inside / outside the project’s environment.
8- Insuring the efficiency of all project’s sub-systems.
Following are important reasons for using Project Management.
1. Better Efficiency in Delivering Services: Project management provides a “roadmap" that is easily followed and leads to project completion. Once you know where to avoid the bumps and potholes, it stands to reason that you’re going to be working smarter and not harder and longer.
2. Improved / Increased / Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Whenever you get a project done on time and under budget, the client walks away happy. And a happy client is one you’ll see again. Smart project management provides the tools that enable this client/manager relationship to continue.
3. Enhanced Effectiveness in Delivering Services: The same strategies that allowed you to successfully complete one project will serve you many times over.
4. Improved Growth and Development Within your Team: Positive results not only command respect but more often than not inspire your team to continue to look for ways to perform more efficiently.
5. Greater Standing and Competitive Edge: This is not only a good benefit of project management within the workplace but outside of it as well; word travels fast and there is nothing like superior performance to secure your place in the marketplace.
6. Opportunities to Expand your Services: A by-product of greater standing. Great performance leads to more opportunities to succeed.
7. Better Flexibility: Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of project management is that it allows for flexibility. Sure project management allows you to map out the strategy you want to take see your project completed. But the beauty of such organization is that if you discover a smarter direction to take, you can take it. For many small-to-midsize companies, this alone is worth the price of admission.
8. Increased Risk Assessment: When all the players are lined up and your strategy is in place potential risks will jump out and slap you in the face. And that’s the way it should be. Project management provides a red flag at the right time: before you start working on project completion.
9. Increase in Quality: Goes hand-in-hand with enhanced effectiveness.
10. Increase in Quantity: An increase in quantity is often the result of better efficiency, a simple reminder regarding the benefits of project management.
Project Management is used in order to ensure the successful implementation of the Project, in terms of time, cost and quality.
Because a project is nothing but executing a plan to achieve a pre-set goal, in a pre-defined time, using pre-defined resources and following pre-defined rules and regulations.
Therefore Project Management is needed to assure a perfect implementation and react whenever any deviation occures.
Project management is a systematic approach to execute a project for initiating stage to closing stage by applying various tools and techniques for completion of project with is time,quality and budget.
Beacuse if we are used the project managemnt we can know what the exact time , cost and resource that we need ,
I do believe that we use project management in our daily lives as well as professionally. It's a process of identifying what has to be done, how it will get done and when it will get done. The working parent has to make daily project management decisions, while being agile. They must mentally identify the critical path to ensure potential problems are dealt with, sometimes even before they arise. Project Management was first practise as an art, by people all over, as they lead their lives. How ever the science of project management was initiated by engineers who had to manage large and mega large projects so as the deliver on time, and within budget. The science of project management allows us to quantify tasks and proceed orderly. But as most project managers will say, Murphy's Law will always be present, and then we must use our human intuitive to figure out things...just as the busy, working parent or stay-at-home has to!
Once studied the feasibility of a project, it must be considered as a sequence of elementary operations, coordinated among themselves and connected relative to the other in time.
The main issues that must be addressed for a successful project are related to time and cost. It must, first, estimate the likely duration of the project and organize so as to minimize the cost and duration (so that the resources committed are as short as possible and that it can become operational as soon as possible.
We use project management to manage:
