4. Functions Associated with Projects

5. FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECTS People drive project delivery. They do so by fulfilling functions necessary for the project to run effectively and efficiently. Functions related to the project can be fulfilled by one person, by a group of people, or combined into defined roles. Coordinating a collective work effort is extremely important to the success of any project. There are different types of coordination suitable for different contexts. Some projects benefit from decentralized coordination in which project team members self-organize and self-manage.

6. FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECTS Other projects benefit from centralized coordination with the leadership and guidance of a designated project manager or similar role. Some projects with centralized coordination can also benefit from including self-organized project teams for portions of the work. Regardless of how coordination takes place, supportive leadership models and meaningful, continuous engagements between project teams and other stakeholders underpin successful outcomes

7. PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND COORDINATION People in this function help the project team achieve the project objectives, typically by orchestrating the work of the project. The specifics of how this function is carried out within the project team can vary among organizations, but can include leading the planning, monitoring, and controlling activities. In some organizations, this function may involve some evaluation and analysis activities as part of pre-project activities. This function includes monitoring and working to improve the health, safety, and overall well-being of project team members Coordination includes consulting with executive and business unit leaders on ideas for advancing objectives, improving project performance, or meeting customer needs. It can also include assisting in business analysis, tendering and contract negotiations, and business case development

8. PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND COORDINATION Oversight can be involved in follow-on activities related to benefits realization and sustainment after the project deliverables are finalized but before formal closure of the project. This function can support portfolios and programs within which the project is initiated. Ultimately, the function is tailored to fit the organization

9. PRESENT OBJECTIVES AND FEEDBACK People in this function contribute perspectives, insights, and clear direction from customers and end users. The customer and end user are not always synonymous. For the purpose of this standard, the customer is defined as the individual or group who has requested or is funding the project. The end user is the individual or group who will experience the direct use of the project deliverable.

10. FACILITATE AND SUPPORT The function of facilitation and support may be closely related to providing oversight and coordination, depending on the nature of the project. The work involves encouraging project team member participation, collaboration, and a shared sense of responsibility for the work output. Facilitation helps the project team create consensus around solutions, resolve conflicts, and make decisions. Facilitation is also required to coordinate meetings and contribute in an unbiased way to the advancement of project objectives.

11. PERFORM WORK AND CONTRIBUTE INSIGHTS This group of people provides the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to produce the products and realize the outcomes of the project. Work can be full time or part time for the duration of the project or for a limited period, and the work can be colocated or virtual, depending on the environmental factors. Some work can be highly specialized, while other work can be done by project team members who have broad skill sets.

12. APPLY EXPERTISE People in this function provide the knowledge, vision, and expertise in a specific subject for a project. They offer advice and support throughout the organization, and contribute to the project team’s learning process and work accuracy. These people can be external to the organization or can be internal project team members. They can be required for the whole project or during a specific time frame.

13. PROVIDE BUSINESS DIRECTION AND INSIGHT People in this function guide and clarify the direction of the project or product outcome. This function involves prioritizing the requirements or backlog items based on business value, dependencies, and technical or operational risk. People in this function provide feedback to project teams and set direction for the next increment or element to be developed or delivered. The function involves interacting with other stakeholders, customers, and their project teams to define the product direction. The goal is to maximize the value of the project deliverable In adaptive and hybrid environments, direction and insight can be provided using a specific cadence. In predictive environments, there can be designated checkpoints for presentation of and feedback on project progress. In some instances, business direction can interact with funding and resourcing functions

14. PROVIDE RESOURCES AND DIRECTION People in this function promote the project and communicate the organization’s vision, goals, and expectations to the project team and broader stakeholder community. They advocate for the project and the project team by helping to secure the decisions, resources, and authority that allow project activities to progress. People in this function serve as liaisons between senior management and the project team, play a supporting role in keeping projects aligned to business objectives, remove obstacles, and address issues outside the bounds of the project team’s decision authority. People in this function provide an escalation path for problems, issues, or risks that project teams cannot resolve or manage on their own, such as a shortage of funding or other resources, or deadlines that cannot be met.

15. Maintain Governance People who fill a governance function approve and support recommendations made by the project team and monitor project progress in achieving the desired outcomes. They maintain linkages between project teams and strategic or business objectives that can change over the course of the project.

16. Waterfall Model

17. What is Agile Agile is the ability to create and respond to change. It is a way of dealing with, and ultimately succeeding in, an uncertain and turbulent environment.

18. What is Agile Software Development Agile software development is an umbrella term for a set of frameworks and practices based on the values and principles expressed in the  Manifesto for Agile Software Development  and the  12 Principles  behind it. 

19. The Agile Manifesto We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions  over processes and tools Working software  over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration  over contract negotiation Responding to change  over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

24. Product Life Cycle

25. Projects VS Programs VS Portfolios Organizational Project Management Projects Programs Portfolios Definition A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. A program is a group of related projects, subsidiary programs, and program activities that are managed in a coordinated manner to obtain benefits not available from managing them individually. A portfolio is a collection of projects, programs, subsidiary portfolios, and operations managed as a group to achieve strategic objectives.

26. Projects VS Programs VS Portfolios Organizational Project Management Projects Programs Portfolios Scope Projects have defined objectives. Scope is progressively elaborated throughout the project life cycle. Programs have a scope that encompasses the scopes of its program components. Programs produce benefits to an organization by ensuring that the outputs and outcomes of program components are delivered in a coordinated and complementary manner. Portfolios have an organizational scope that changes with the strategic objectives of the organization.

27. Projects VS Programs VS Portfolios Organizational Project Management Projects Programs Portfolios Change Project managers expect change and implement processes to keep change managed and controlled. Programs are managed in a manner that accepts and adapts to change as necessary to optimize the delivery of benefits as the program’s components deliver outcomes and/or outputs. Portfolio managers continuously monitor changes in the broader internal and external environments

28. Projects VS Programs VS Portfolios Organizational Project Management Projects Programs Portfolios Planning Project managers progressively elaborate high-level information into detailed plans throughout the project life cycle. Programs are managed using high-level plans that track the interdependencies and progress of program components. Program plans are also used to guide planning at the component level. Portfolio managers create and maintain necessary processes and communication relative to the aggregate portfolio.

29. Projects VS Programs VS Portfolios Organizational Project Management Projects Programs Portfolios Management Project managers manage the project team to meet the project objectives. Programs are managed by program managers who ensure that program benefits are delivered as expected, by coordinating the activities of a program’s components. Portfolio managers may manage or coordinate portfolio management staff, or program and project staff that may have reporting responsibilities into the aggregate portfolio.

30. Projects VS Programs VS Portfolios Organizational Project Management Projects Programs Portfolios Monitoring Project managers monitor and control the work of producing the products, services, or results that the project was undertaken to produce. Program managers monitor the progress of program components to ensure the overall goals, schedules, budget, and benefits of the program will be met. Portfolio managers monitor strategic changes and aggregate resource allocation, performance results, and risk of the portfolio.

31. Projects VS Programs VS Portfolios Organizational Project Management Projects Programs Portfolios Success Success is measured by product and project quality, timeliness, budget compliance, and degree of customer satisfaction. A program’s success is measured by the program’s ability to deliver its intended benefits to an organization, and by the program’s efficiency and effectiveness in delivering those benefits. Success is measured in terms of the aggregate investment performance and benefit realization of the portfolio.

32. Operations Management Operations management is an area that is outside the scope of formal project management as described in this guide. Operations management is concerned with the ongoing production of goods and/or services. It ensures that business operations continue efficiently by using the optimal resources needed to meet customer demands. It is concerned with managing processes that transform inputs (e.g., materials, components, energy, and labor) into outputs (e.g., products, goods, and/or services).

33. Operations and Project Management Projects can intersect with operations at various points during the product life cycle, such as;

34. Organizational Project Management & Strategies OPM is defined as a framework in which portfolio, program, and project management are integrated with organizational enablers in order to achieve strategic objectives. The purpose of OPM is to ensure that the organization undertakes the right projects and allocates critical resources appropriately. OPM also helps to ensure that all levels in the organization understand the strategic vision, the initiatives that support the vision, the objectives, and the deliverables.

35. Organizational Project Management & Strategies

36. Project Components

37. Project Charter The project charter is defined as a document issued by the project sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities.

38. Ingredients of a Project Charter Purpose of the documents Project Identification Details Project Goals Project Deliverables Scope Definition Project Milestones Assumptions, Constraints and Dependencies Project Organizational Structure Project Authorization

39. Project Management Plan The project management plan is defined as the document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled.

40. Project Success Measures Traditionally, the project management metrics of time, cost, scope, and quality have been the most important factors in defining the success of a project It is critical to clearly document the project objectives and to select objectives that are measurable.

41. Project Success Measures Three questions that the key stakeholders and the project manager should answer are: What does success look like for this project? How will success be measured? What factors may impact success?

42. Project Success Measures Project success may include additional criteria linked to the organizational strategy and to the delivery of business results. These project objectives may include but are not limited to: Completing the project benefits management plan; Meeting the agreed-upon financial measures documented in the business case. These financial measures may include but are not limited to: Net present value (NPV), Return on investment (ROI), Internal rate of return (IRR), Payback period (PBP), and Benefit-cost ratio (BCR).

43. The Environment in which Project Operates Projects exist and operate in environments that may have an influence on them. These influences can have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the project. Two major categories of influences are enterprise environmental factors (EEFs) and organizational process assets (OPAs).

44. Enterprise Environment Factors Enterprise environmental factors (EEFs) refer to conditions, not under the control of the project team, that influence, constrain, or direct the project. These conditions can be internal and/or external to the organization. EEFs are considered as inputs to many project management processes, specifically for most planning processes. These factors may enhance or constrain project management options. In addition, these factors may have a positive or negative influence on the outcome.

45. EEFs Internal to the Organization The following EEFs are internal to the organization: Organizational culture, structure, and governance. Examples include vision, mission, values, beliefs, cultural norms, leadership style, hierarchy and authority relationships, organizational style, ethics, and code of conduct. Geographic distribution of facilities and resources. Examples include factory locations, virtual teams, shared systems, and cloud computing. Infrastructure. Examples include existing facilities, equipment, organizational telecommunications channels, information technology hardware, availability, and capacity.

46. EEFs Internal to the Organization Information technology software. Examples include scheduling software tools, configuration management systems, web interfaces to other online automated systems, and work authorization systems. Resource availability. Examples include contracting and purchasing constraints, approved providers and subcontractors, and collaboration agreements. Employee capability. Examples include existing human resources expertise, skills, competencies, and specialized knowledge.

47. EEFS EXTERNAL TO THE ORGANIZATION The following EEFs are external to the organization. Marketplace conditions. Examples include competitors, market share brand recognition, and trademarks. Social and cultural influences and issues. Examples include political climate, codes of conduct, ethics, and perceptions. Legal restrictions. Examples include country or local laws and regulations related to security, data protection, business conduct, employment, and procurement. Commercial databases. Examples include benchmarking results, standardized cost estimating data, industry risk study information, and risk databases.

48. EEFS EXTERNAL TO THE ORGANIZATION Academic research. Examples include industry studies, publications, and benchmarking results. Government or industry standards. Examples include regulatory agency regulations and standards related to products, production, environment, quality, and workmanship. Financial considerations. Examples include currency exchange rates, interest rates, inflation rates, tariffs, and geographic location. Physical environmental elements. Examples include working conditions, weather, and constraints

49. Organizational Process Assets Organizational process assets (OPAs) are the plans, processes, policies, procedures, and knowledge bases specific to and used by the performing organization. These assets influence the management of the project. OPAs include any artifact, practice, or knowledge from any or all of the performing organizations involved in the project that can be used to execute or govern the project. The OPAs also include the organization’s lessons learned from previous projects and historical information.

50. Organizational Process Assets Since OPAs are internal to the organization, the project team members may be able to update and add to the organizational process assets as necessary throughout the project. They may be grouped into two categories: Processes, policies, and procedures; and Organizational knowledge bases.
