Introduction

I continue to argue that despite claims to the contrary contained in the many thousands of books written on the subject, conceptually, project management is easy. Most adults, for example,  have already experienced a number of projects, from obtaining a degree, to buying a house, getting a promotion and so on. 

The real question is whether the outcome of the project was due to serendipity, to circumstances or accident – that is, whether we managed the project, or whether the project managed us.  Not much different from time management.  Time management implies that we have discretionary time to manage, for instance.

Project management  is as easy as DCM:  Define, Communicate and Manage.   More often than not, the difficulty is in the specialized jargon, such as what is used in the Earned Value Analysis (EVA).

To be fair, it is true that the devil is in the details.  However, once the DCM concept has been fully understood, the details can be filled in using a number of project management frameworks, such as the one below

 

Project Management Framework

 

Followed by measuring, measuring, measuring, and  establishing the appropriate performance metrics.

 

Performance metrics, using EVA jargon

 

Project:   A project is an undertaking requiring concerted effort.   In project management circles, a project is usually defined as a temporary effort.

Cost Management

 

Insufficient information - Traditional management comparing budget to actual

Earned value analysis (EVA) - keep track not only of the budget and actuals, but also the value of the work performed, and left to do.

Procurement Management

 

 

 

 


 

 

Earned value analysis (EVA)  History

 

 

Project management.  According to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge —2000 Edition, [Project Management Institute (PMI®) December 2000], project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to a broad range of activities in order to meet the requirements of the particular project.  PMI further outlines five different processes and core competencies required for effective project management - see figure below

 Project Management Core Skills

 

 

 

The Triple Constraint

The triple constraint consists of Cost, Performance/Quality & Budget.  In other words, the total cost of a given project is a function of the scope, the schedule and the desired performance and or quality - How many times have  we been asked to expedite a project, while  sticking to the original scope, budget and cost - the pictures below show that such requests are at best senseless.

 

Original Project Scope An expedited Project may require changes in Scope, performance and or cost - something has to give

 

 

 


Feasibility Studies

 

 

 

Technology feasibility

The assessment is based on an outline design of system requirements in terms of Input, Processes, Output, Fields, Programs, and Procedures. This can be quantified in terms of volumes of data, trends, frequency of updating, etc. in order to estimate whether the new system will perform adequately or not. This means that feasibility is the study of the based in outline.

Economic feasibility


Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the effectiveness of a new system. More commonly known as cost/benefit analysis, the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected from a candidate system and compare them with costs. If benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and implement the system.

Activity Based or Cost Based Study: It is important to identify cost and benefit factors. Cost and benefits can be categorized into the following categories. Basically it is an analysis of the costs to be incurred in the system and benefits derivable out of the system. In a broad sense the costs can be divided into two types 1. Development costs 2. Operating costs

Time Based Study: Contrast to the manual system management can generate any report just by the click of a mouse

Legal feasibility

Determines whether the proposed system conflicts with legal requirements, e.g. a data processing system must comply with the local Data Protection Acts.

Operational feasibility


Is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems, and takes advantages of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system development.

Schedule feasibility


A project will fail if it takes too long to be completed before it is useful. Typically this means estimating how long the system will take to develop, and if it can be completed in a given time period using some methods like payback period. Schedule feasibility is a measure of how reasonable the project timetable is. Given our technical expertise, are the project deadlines reasonable? Some projects are initiated with specific deadlines. You need to determine whether the deadlines are mandatory or desirable.

Misc feasibility issues

Market and real estate feasibility
Market Feasibility Study typically involves testing geographic locations for a real estate development project, and usually involves parcels of real estate land. Developers often conduct market studies to determine the best location within a jurisdiction, and to test alternative land uses for a given parcels. Jurisdictions often require developers to complete feasibility studies before they will approve a permit application for retail, commercial, industrial, manufacturing, housing, office or mixed-use project. Market Feasibility takes into account the importance of the business in the selected area.

Resource feasibility
This involves questions such as how much time is available to build the new system, when it can be built, whether it interferes with normal business operations, type and amount of resources required, dependencies, etc. Contingency and mitigation plans should also be stated here.

Cultural feasibility
In this stage, the project's alternatives are evaluated for their impact on the local and general culture. For example, environmental factors need to be considered and these factors are to be well known. Further an enterprise's own culture can clash with the results of the project.

 


 

Why Projects Fail

According to a study published by the Standish Group roughly 50% of all projects costing over $1 million dollars, fail to fully meet the scope of the project as defined by the triple constraint, mostly due for failure to establish SMART  (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound) goals.  Surprisingly however, at the top of the list is failure to involve users and lack of executive management support.  Below is a summary of reasons why projects fail.

 

  • User Involvement                                19%

  • Executive Management Support          16%

  • Clear Requirements                           15%

  • Proper Planning                                   11%

  • Realistic Expectations                          10%

  • Smaller Project Milestones                   9%

  • Competent Staff                                    8%

  • Ownership                                            6%

  • Clear Vision and Objectives                    3%

  • Hardworking, Focus Staff                        3%
