Everything Guide to PM
Project vs. Operations Operations are ongoing functions within the
organization.
Projects are time-limited functions within the organization; although, these projects may be 10 years long.
Sun Tzu – The Art of War “Therefore, to forecast the outcome of a war the
attributes of the antagonistic sides should be analyzed.”
Never limit yourself because what you want is not within your current ability.
Sun Tzu – The Art of War “In directing such an enormous army, a speedy victory
is the main object.”
Execution of plans must occur as planning is being done…blend all of the processes of your organization.
Sun Tzu – The Art of War “Thus, while we have heard of stupid haste in war, we
have not yet seen a clever operation that was prolonged.”
It is hard to sustain effectiveness and skill long into the battle. All things tend to diminish over time.

What It’s ALL ABOUT
Make Good Stuff Happen
Quantification
Don’t quantify what doesn’t need to be quantified
It’s too easy to avoid the tough stuff and to get caught up in the secondary things

Confusing Process with Goals
Unnecessary processes and methods tend to snowball, dragging teams down into the tar pit of difficult projects.
Team
The TEAM is the focus.
Team
The TEAM is the PROJECT.
Leaders
Your leaders and managers are hired to AMPLIFY the value of EVERYONE around them.
Leaders
Your leaders and managers should contribute something different in nature from just adding another staff member.

Work Breakdown Structure (W.B.S. –
taking all of the work on a project and
breaking it down into individual bundles
of work) added to P.E.R.T. methodology.

9 Management Areas
Human Resource Management
Communication Management
Risk Management
Procurement Management
Integration The processes required to ensure that the various
elements of the project are properly coordinated.
Exploring a format for a project plan helps to accomplish this vital task.
Integration Project Manager Integrates whole project and is
involved in integrating each step along the way.

Scope Does the project include all of the work required and
only the work required?
Sometimes managing scope means getting things done and/ or saying “NO”.
Scope Scope creep and scope change alter all elements of the
project.

Time Will we complete this project on schedule?
Will it be finished when we’d like it to be – if not, what is a realistic time frame?
Time
www.mindtools.com
Cost Will the project be within the approved budget?
If not, what will the costs be at completion?
Cost
www.businessfinancemag.com
Quality Does the project satisfy the needs for which it was
undertaken?
Is it fit for use?
Will it work?
Does it meet the expectations as well as the specifications?
Quality
www.managementhelp.org/quality
Human Resource Does the project make the most effective use of all the
people involved in the project?
Projects get work done through people.
Human Resource
www.managementhelp.org
Communications
Is there timely and appropriate:
Generation?
Collection?
Dissemination?
Storage?
Ultimate disposition of project information?
Communications
Communication is #1 management area for time spent by the PM.

Risk How do we appropriately identify, analyze, quantify
and respond to risk on this project?
Projects are done for a gain or an opportunity, with each there is always some risk.
Risk
Risk management at NASA is crystal.

Procurement How should we acquire goods and services from
outside the performing organization?
How do we manage contracts, contractors and suppliers?
