Why Project Management?

We have managers. Sometimes they run projects. What’s so special about

project management?

3

The Modern Organization

Functional organization: Production Marketing R&D Human resources IT etc…

Standardized tasks and job descriptions Economies of scale Optimized for routine, repetitive

operations

4

Projects

Temporary Defined goal, schedule, cost Not routine operations (although result may

become so) Unique

Requires learning and adaptation Often assembles a team that hasn’t worked

together before Progressive elaboration

Develops in steps, continues by increments Scope is refined as specifications evolve

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product,

service, or result

Projects are how organizations manage change.
