Project Management
The most common method that an organisation can use to improve competitiveness and to move towards organisational goals is change:
- Changing products
- Changing markets
- New plant
- Changing working methods
- New organisational structures
All such changes are effected by projects and therefore for the change to be successful, the project to bring it about must be successfully managed.
In today's business environment of internationalisation and rapidly changing marketplaces, industries are striving for rapid, high quality implementation of their change projects. These targets can only be achieved through the use of proven management methods and modern project management techniques. These techniques provide frameworks for managing work and effort across an organisation's functional boundaries, they provide methods of quality and progress monitoring and provide assurance for success.
They generally have distinct phases: (these are sequential but can overlap):
- Feasibility study with GO/NOGO decision
- Project implementation
- Product life
- Increasingly, the trend for businesses is to concentrate on core issues and activities.
- This means that the skills needed for successful Project Management are becoming concentrated in professional service companies.
