    A Project is a carefully planned set of activities that is required to achieve a clearly defined goal or outcome through the application of appropriate time and resources.
    Project One-off/non-repetitive Focused on changes Focused on introducing new capabilities, products or systems Normal N l operation ti (Process) Repetitive Focused on stability Ongoing management

    When projects are ceased, normal operations (processes) in the changed mode are resumed. 4/24

    Three essential elements of any projects Outcome Product, result, quality, goal Resources budget, people, materials, equipment, etc
    5/24

    The success of project will be assessed based on these three core elements 1. Outcome is achieved? 2. Completed on time? 3. Within or under resource constraints including budget? Note only 34% of projects are successful!

    Project management is a systematic process of guiding a project from its beginning through its implementation to its completion. Project management is not people skills or a software! It is a lot more than you think! Project management should focus on preventing problems rather than dealing with problems! reporting problems is too late!
    8/24

    In the old days project management is not as important as we have now. no competition and y only y a low level of usually cooperation required. In recent decades, new types of systems emerged Highly complicated. Require efficient project planning, control and management skills to complete 9/24 the task successfully.
