Mastering the Five Basic Requirements of a Good Project Plan 1

INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT & FRAMEWORK 2

Introduction to Project Management and Framework 3 Agenda of the module is to learn: What is a Project? What is a Project- Portfolio- Program management? Project Management Office (PMO) Relationships among Portfolio management, Program management, Project management, Organizational project management, Operations management, & Organizational strategy Advantages of using formal Project management Role, responsibilities, competencies & interpersonal skills of the project manager Project leadership and creating value Q and A, check your learning

What is a Project? A project can be defined as “a temporary endeavor undertaken which has a beginning and an end to create a unique product, service, or result” Operations is work done to sustain the business. Projects end when their objectives have been reached or the project has been terminated In principal, projects are non-repetitive. Projects can be large or small and take a short or long time to complete. 4

What is a Project-Portfolio- Program management? 5 Portfolio Management - Doing the right thing. Project Management - Doing things right Program Management - Getting the right results.

What is a Project-Portfolio- Program management? 6 Project Program Specific scope & product Wide scope, blueprint & benefits Minimize change Embrace change Budget/Time/Quality Benefit delivery/ROI Manage delivery team Manage by governance Program management Portfolio management Includes non project work Not a project; more an ongoing business process Bounded context Broad strategic focus Audience defines by program goals Audience is senior executive level Major themes Major Focus Benefit management Stakeholder management Governance Alignment Decision making Doing the ‘right’ things

Project Management Office (PMO) A project management office (PMO) is a management structure that standardizes the project–related governance processes and facilitates the sharing of policies, resources, methods, tools and techniques. Supportive PMO On demand support No executive control Controlling PMO Essential support An agent- for- change Directive PMO Complete project control Uniformity 7

Relationships among Portfolio management, Program management, Project management, Organizational project management, Operations management, & Organizational strategy Portfolio Projects Program Organization Strategy An organization strategy creates a Portfolio A Program can have many projects A Portfolio can have both Projects & Programs 8

Advantages of using formal Project management 9 Better control of financial, physical, and human resources Improved customer relations Shorter development times Lower costs Higher quality and increased reliability Higher profit margins Improved productivity Better internal coordination Higher worker morale (less stress)

Role of a Project Manager Product Management Business Management Project Management Product Delivery Business Needs Project Constraints Managing project Leading People & Project Life Cycle 10

Responsibilities of a Project Manager 11 The role of project manager comprises many responsibilities including: Planning and defining scope Resource planning Activity planning and sequencing Developing schedules Time estimating Cost estimating Developing a budget Creating charts and schedules Managing risks and issues Risk analysis Controlling quality Customer Liaison Team leadership Documentation Strategic influencing Scalability, interoperability and portability analysis

Competencies & interpersonal skills of a Project Manager Competencies Interpersonal skills: Personal Performance Knowledge Leadership Team Building Motivation Communication Influencing Decision making Political & Cultural awareness Negotiation Trust Building Conflict Management Coaching 12

ORGANIZATIONAL INFLUENCES & PROJECT LIFE CYCLE 14

Organizational influences and Project Life Cycle 15 Agenda of the module is to learn: Organizational structures Organizational Process assets Enterprise Environmental factors Project stakeholder & Governance Project life cycle Q and A, check your learning

Organizational structures Functional organization structure Functional organizations are entities that have a clear division regarding business units and their associated responsibility. Managing Director Director Director Manager Manager Manager Manager Manager Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource 16

Organizational structures Matrix organization structure Matrix structures are organizations that have a blend of departmental duties and employees together on a common project. The project team member to be from multiple departments working toward the project completion. Team member will report to multiple project managers and functional managers. Managing Director Director Director Manager Manager Manager Project Manager Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource 17

Organizational structures Projectized organization structure The project manager in a projectized structure may have complete power over the project team. Project manager in a projectized structure enjoy a high level of autonomy over their projects but also have a higher level of responsibility regarding the project success. Project Manager Team Leader Team Leader Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource 18 A composite organizational structure is frequently used by organizations where all three types of structures are used at different levels or for different projects.

Organizational Process assets Organizational process assets are the plans, processes, policies, procedures, and knowledge bass specific to and used by the performing organization. So Organizational Process Assets may include but not limited to all the documents, formal and informal plans, processes, templates, policies, procedures, plans, guidelines, knowledge base such as lessons learned and historical data and information. Organizational process assets may also include completed schedules, risk data, and earned value data. Organizational process assets are inputs to most planning processes. Throughout the project, the project team members may update and need to add the organizational process assets as necessary. 19

Enterprise Environmental factors Enterprise environmental factors refer to both internal and external factors that surround or influence a project’s success. These factors may come from any or all of the enterprises involved in the project. Enterprise environmental factors may enhance or constrain project management options and may have a positive or negative influence on the outcome. They are considered as inputs to most planning processes. 20 Organizational environmental factors include the following: Culture and structure Infrastructure and resources Internal and external conditions

Project Stakeholder & Governance 21

Project Life cycle 22 The Project Life Cycle is a logical sequence of activities required to accomplish the project’s goals or objectives.

Project Life cycle types 23 Topic Predictive Iterative Adaptive (agile) Phases Sequential, overlapping Sequential, overlapping Sequential, overlapping, parallel High- Level Scope Yes Yes Yes Detailed Scope At beginning of project Only for each phase Only for each phase or iteration High- Level Planning Yes Yes Yes Detailed Planning At beginning of project OR rolling wave Only for each phase Only for each phase or iteration When Used Product is well understood Large and complex projects Product is not well understood, rapidly changing environments Customer involvement Beginning, when scope changes, and project end Periodic Continuous

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROCESS GROUPS 24

Project Management Process Groups 25 Agenda of the module is to learn: Overview of PMBOK 5- 47 Processes Project Management Brief about Initiating Process group Brief about Planning Process group Brief about Executing Process group Brief about Monitoring & Controlling Process group Brief about Closing Process group Role of Knowledge areas Q and A, check your learning

Overview of PMBOK 5- 47 Processes Project Management There are 5 process groups: Initiating Planning Executing Monitoring & Controlling Closing 10 Knowledge areas are: Integration Management Scope management Time management Cost management Quality management Human resource management Communications management Risk management Procurement management Stakeholder management 26

Initiating Process group 27 The processes that facilitate the formal authorization to start a new project or a project phase. Includes the following project management processes: Develop project charter to initiate & authorize the project. Identifying stakeholders by identifying all people or organizations impacted by the project, and documenting relevant information regarding Their Interests, Involvement, and Potential impact on project success.

Planning Process group 28 This process group consists of those processes that: establish the total scope of the project, define and refine the objectives, and develop the course of action required to attain those objectives. The planning processes develop the project management plan and the project documents that will be used to carry out the project such as: Requirements traceability matrix. Activity lists, Activity attributes, Risk register, etc

Executing Process group 29 The executing process group is where all the project work related planning steps are put into action. Can be thought of as the "do" component of the plan-do- check-act cycle model. Actions during execution process: Manage project execution Develop and Manage project team Manage stakeholder engagement Implementing quality standards and assurance Implement training needs Implement approved changes Conduct procurement as per the plan Manage communications Update project document

Monitoring & Control Process group 30 A project needs consistent monitoring and controlling in order to stay within scope, be completed on time and within the allocated budget. The monitoring and controlling process group concerns two main aspects of project management: Monitoring and measurement of project performance, making adjustments as needed with the end goal of maintaining the project on its pre- planned course. Providing the checks and balances needed to determine how a project is performing.

Closing Process group 31 The closing process group formalizes acceptance of the product, service, or result and brings the project or project phase to an orderly end. This group includes the processes used to formally terminate all activities of a project or a project phase, to hand over completed work products, or to close a cancelled project or project phase. When a project comes to an end the following may occur: Obtain acceptance by the customer Measure customer satisfaction Conduct end review Study impacts of tailoring to any process. Finalize and implement lessons learnt Close out procurements. Hand over project deliverables to operations team.

Project selection methods 44

Scoring Model 45 Scoring Model is an evidence centred Design process by which to assess work products through the application of set of criteria with a weight or score assigned to each criterion in accordance with managerial policy. Different weights can be assigned to different criteria to represent the varied degree of importance given to various criteria. All projects are evaluated against this set of criteria and the project with the maximum score is selected. Both objective and subjective criteria can be included, such as financial data, organizational expertise, market value, innovation and fit with the corporate culture.

Cost Benefit analysis 46 A financial analysis tool used to determine the benefits provided by a project against its costs. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) can be calculated as Benefit ÷ Cost For the benefit to exceed cost, the BCR must be greater than 1. Example: If the projected costs and benefits of two projects are: Project X with a cost of USD5,000, generating an expected income of USD30,000. The BCR is equal to USD30,000÷USD5,000 = 6. Project Y with a cost of USD10,000, generating an estimated income of USD50,000. The BCR is equal to USD50,000÷USD10,000 = 5. Using BCR, project A will be chosen over project B

Economic Model 47 An economic model is used to estimate the economic efficiency of a project, and it involves a set of calculations to provide overall financial data about the projects and projects that offer the best monetary benefits to the company would be prioritized. The common terms involved in economic models are: Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) - This is the value obtained by dividing the benefit by the cost. Cash flow - cash flow refers to both the money coming in and the money going out of an organization. Internal Return Rate (IRR) - Another way of interpreting the benefit from the project. It looks at the cost of the project as the capital investment & translates the profit into the interest rate over the life of that investment.

Economic Model 48 Present Value (PV) and Net Present Value (NPV) Net Present Value is the sum of the of all the cash flows of the project (including both costs and benefits), each adjusted to today’s value (=Present Value) according to estimated future inflation. Alternative Projects can be compared using the NPV, even if they are not expected to be completed during the same time frame and benefits are reaped over different periods of time.

Constrained Optimization methods 49 Constrained optimization methods are concerned with predicting the success of the project. These methods are based on complex mathematical models that use formulae and algorithms to predict the success. These models use the following kinds of algorithms: Linear Nonlinear Dynamic Integer Multiple objective programming

Product scope Vs. Project scope Collecting requirements Define scope Create WBS Verify scope Control scope 53 Product scope - is the set of functions and features that characterize a product, service, or result to be delivered by the project. Project scope - is the work required to deliver the product scope. The major goal of scope management is to ensure that all the required work and only the required work is included and performed in the project. This goal is accomplished by the following processes:

Plan scope management 54 Inputs Project management plan Project charter Enterprise environmental factors Organizational process assets Tools & Techniques Expert judgment Meetings Outputs Scope management plan Requirements management plan Plan scope management is the process of creating a scope management plan that documents how the project scope is defined, validated and controlled – provides guidance and direction on who’s scope will be managed throughout the project life cycle.

Critical Path Method Critical path method is a analysis technique used to predict total project duration. Three main purposes of critical path method are: To calculate the project's finish date To identify to what extent each activity in the schedule can slip (float) without delaying the project To identify the activities with the highest risk that cannot slip without changing the project finish date To calculate the project overall duration, the CPM uses two calculation. Forward Pass Backward Pass 79

Critical Path Example Start Finish Activity1 Activity3 Activity 4 Activity2 Activity5 Float = 2 Float = Float = Start Start Float = 3 Activity1 80 7 Activity1 Float = 5 2 Activity1 5 Activity1 4 Activity1 ES = 1 EF = 3 LS = 3 LF = 5 ES = 1 EF = 5 LS = 1 LF = 5 ES = 13 EF = 14 LS = 13 LF = 14 ES = 06 EF = 09 LS = 11 LF = 14 ES = 06 EF = 12 LS = 06 LF = 12

Critical Chain Method Critical Chain is a method of project management in which the primary emphasis is placed upon the management of the resources involved in executing these projects. 81

Schedule Compression Schedule compression techniques are used to shorten the schedule duration without reducing the project scope, in order to meet schedule constraints, imposed dates, or other schedule objectives. Activity Original duration in months Crash duration Time Saving Original cost Crash cost Extra cost Cost per month A 14 12 2 10000 14000 4000 2000 B 9 8 1 17000 27000 10000 10000 C 3 2 1 25000 26000 1000 1000 D 7 5 2 14000 20000 6000 3000 Activities Cost A- B 14000 A- C 5000 B- D 16000 Activity A-C looks least expensive hence it is the best option to crash the project. 82

Fast tracking is performing two tasks in parallel that were previously scheduled to start sequentially. Fast track will only work for activities that can be overlapped. 83

PERT Analysis PERT weighted average OT+4*MLT+PT 6 OT = Optimistic Time MLT = Most Likely Time PT = Pessimistic Time Program Evaluation Review Technique is a technique for estimating that applies a weighted average of optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates when there is uncertainty with the individual activity estimates. Most Likely Time (MLT) Optimistic Time (OT) Pessimistic Time (PT) 84 PERT analysis steps Define the goal of the project and the tasks required to complete it Place tasks in a logical order and determine the critical path Calculate per activity the estimated durations using PERT = (OT+4*MLT+PT)/6] Compete this calculation for all tasks; making sure to group tasks on the critical path separately Calculate per activity the standard deviation (SD) (SD=PT- TO/6) variance (V) (V=SD2) Probability predictions can now be made using this information.

Earned Value Management 95 Earned value management is a methodology that combines cope, schedule, and resource measurements to assess project performance and progress. It is a commonly used method of performance measurements for projects. Three pieces of important data: Planned value (PV) - The authorized budget for a planned piece of work. Also called budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS). Earned value (EV) - The authorized budget for work actually completed. Also knows as Budgeted Cost of Wok Performed (BCWP). Actual Cost (AC) - The costs actually incurred in completing the work actually achieved. Sometimes called actual cost of work performed (ACWP)

A B C D $500 $1000 100% $600 96 80% $1100 $2000 20% $300 $1000 PV (BCWS) = $ 2500 EV (BCWP) = $ 1700 AC (ACWP) = $ 2000 Deriving PV, EV, AC

Earned Value Management Illustration 99 Problem: A project has a budget of USD10M and schedule for 10 months. It is assumed that the total budget will be spent equally each month until the 10th month is reached. After 2 months the project manager finds that only 5% of the work is finished and a total of USD1M spent. Solution: PV = USD2M EV = USD10M * 0.05 = £0.5M AV = USD1M CV = EV-AC = 0.5-1 = - 0.5M CV% = 100 * (CV/EV) = 100*(-0.5/0.5) = - 100% overrun SV = EV-PV = 0.5-2 = - 1.5 months SV% = 100 * (SV/PV) = 100*(-1.5/2) = - 75% behind …continued

Forecasting 104 Forecasting is the process of predicting future project performance based the current performance to date. PDU for PMI credit will include forecasting method concepts. Time series Method: This method uses historical data to estimate future outcomes. Causal/Econometric Methods: This method assumes that it is possible to identify the underlying factors that might influence what is being forecasted. Judgmental Methods: These methods incorporate intuitive judgments, opinions, and probability estimates. Communication Methods: Status review meetings can be used to discuss information and the progress and performance of the project. A reporting system provides a way for the project manager to convey information to the stakeholders.

Functional manager vs. Project manager 123 Functional Manager Project Manager A manager responsible for activities in a specialized department or function. A manager or individual responsible for managing a project. A functional manager is responsible for one of the principle elements of the organization, such as production, marketing, finance, etc. Project manager is responsible for the whole project and each phase. Functional manger tends to emphasize his own function or department and his authority level is limited to his department or function. Project manager is the person responsible for accomplishing the project objectives within the constraints of the project. Functional manager is likely to be a part of the function or department planning & controlling. The project manager is involved in the planning, controlling and monitoring, and managing the assigned project resources to best meet project objectives.

Organization Charts (Hierarchical, Matrix, RACI & Text- oriented) 125 Hierarchical - An organizational structure where every entity in the organization, except one, is subordinate to a single other entity. Matrix - The Matrix, which is used most often is called the responsibility assignments matrix (RAM). These can be shown as a table with the left hand column listing the various work packages, and the remaining columns describing the various roles. RACI – RACI charts describes within each cell, whether the resource is given an ‘R’ for responsible, ‘A’ for accountable, ‘C’ for consult, and ‘I’ for inform. Care should be taken to ensure by the only one person is accountable for each work package. Text oriented - A document describing the position role within the project, what their responsibilities will be, what the job involves and the qualifications needed to fill such a position.

Conflict Management 129 Five Modes of conflict resolution: Confronting - is also described as problem solving, integrating, collaborating or win- win style. It involves the conflicting parties meeting face- to- face and collaborating to reach an agreement that satisfies the concerns of both parties. Compromising - is also described as a "give and take" style. Conflicting parties bargain to reach a mutually acceptable solution. Both parties give up something in order to reach a decision and leave with some degree of satisfaction. Smoothing - is also referred to as accommodating or obliging style. In this approach, the areas of agreement are emphasized and the areas of disagreement are downplayed. Forcing - is also known as competing, controlling, or dominating style. Forcing occurs when one party goes all out to win it's position while ignoring the needs and concerns of the other party. Avoiding - is also described as withdrawal style. This approach is viewed as postponing an issue for later or withdrawing from the situation altogether.

Motivational Theory – McGregor Theory X & Y 130 Motivation is an internal drive to meet a set of objectives. Theory X Managers Theory Y Managers Take a pessimistic view of employees Take an optimistic view of employees Assume that employees dislike work and avoid responsibility Assume that employees take a voluntary, active interest in their work Must therefore be coerced into pursuing the organization’s goals Employees don’t view work as a burden imposed on them. Theory X similar to Taylorism/scientific Employees can be the source of valuable insights and innovations Overly centralized, command and control management structures harm the organization. If treated fairly employees will voluntarily pursue the organization’s goals

What is project Management Risk’s? Risk Management Objectives & Process Risk analysis Action ! Monitoring & control Plan Risk Management Identify Risks Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis Plan Risk Responses Control Risks 147 6 Processes of RM Risk is “an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on a project’s objectives.”

Risk Types Types of Risk Possibility of gain or loss Business Risk May either be a threat or opportunity Pure risks Only possibility of loss Direct Property Damage risks Indirect Property Damage or losses Legal Liabilities Personnel Related 148

Risk & Expected monetary value (EMV) 149 EMV = Probability x Impact (in units of money) EMV calculates the average result of positive (opportunity) and negative (threat) risks. The EMV of opportunities are expressed as positive values, while those of threats are negative. EMV for a project is calculated by multiplying the value of each possible outcome by its probability of occurrence and adding the products together. A common use of this type of analysis is in decision tree analysis.

How is risk and EMV calculated? An investor has a certain amount of money to invest. Three alternative portfolio selections are available. The estimated profits depend on the economic conditions as follows: 150 Profit ($’000) Portfolio Selection A B C Economy declines $0.5 - $2 - $7 No Change $1.0 $2 - $1 Economy expands $2.5 $5 $22 The probabilities of the occurrence of the economic conditions are: P (economy declines) = 0.3 P (no change) = 0.5 P (economy expands) = 0.2 Determine the best portfolio for the investor. EV(A) = (0.5)(0.3) + (1.0)(0.5) + (2.5)(0.2) = 1.15 EV(B) = (-2.0)(0.3) + (2.0)(0.5) + (5.0)(0.2) = 1.40 EV(C) = (-7.0)(0.3) + (-1.0)(0.5) + (22.0)(0.2) = 1.80

Decision Tree analysis A decision tree is a graphical tool for chronological representation of the decision problem. This tool describes: the actions available to the decision-maker, the events that can occur, and the relationship between the actions and events. To use decision tree analysis in project risk management, you need to: Document a decision in a decision tree. Assign a probability of occurrence for the risk pertaining to that decision. Assign monetary value of the impact of the risk if it occurs. Compute the expected monetary value for each decision path. 160

Decision Tree analysis 161 A company is deciding whether to develop and launch a new product. Research and development costs are expected to be $400,000 and there is a 70% chance that the product launch will be successful, and a 30% chance that it will fail. If it is successful, the levels of expected profits and the probability of each occurring have been estimated as follows, depending on whether the product’s popularity is high, medium or low: Probability Profits High: 0.2 $500,000 per annum for two years Medium: 0.5 $400,000 per annum for two years Low: 0.3 $300,000 per annum for two years If it is a failure, there is a 0.6 probability that the research and development work can be sold for $50,000 and a 0.4 probability that it will be worth nothing at all.

What is contract? 168 A legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties. Contracts contain terms and conditions that set the rights and obligations of the contracting parties. The aim of a procurement contract is to obtain the services or products as agreed in the contract to the satisfaction of all parties to the contract. Procurement Management helps us ensure that the products and components that we do not make ourselves, but purchase from outside the project will not negatively impact on the quality of our project’s final product. The procurement manager or office (contract manager) is normally responsible for creating and managing the procurement contract.

Different types of contract 169 Fixed Price (FP or FFP - "firm fixed price") also called "Lump Sum“. The simplest type of contract. The buyer specifies the work required and the supplier quotes a price. The seller assumes almost all of the risks of this contract. Time and Materials (T&M) - Also sometimes called as unit price contracts. Simple billing at pre-negotiated rates for labor and materials on a project. Rates normally include a certain percentage markup for overhead or profit. In this arrangement the buyer carries most of the risk. Cost Reimbursable (CR) – in this type of contract the buyer agrees to reimburse the seller’s actual costs. Added to that is a fee that typically represents the seller’s profit. In this type of contract the buyer carries most of the risk.

Advantages and disadvantages of Fixed Price Contracts 170 Advantages of fixed price contracts: Less work for buyer to manage. The seller has a strong incentive to control costs. Companies normally have experience with this type of contract. The buyer knows the total price at project start. Disadvantages of fixed price contracts include: The seller may under- price the work and try to make up profits on change orders. The seller may not complete some of the contract statement of work once the contact becomes unprofitable for him. More work for the buyer to write the contract statement of work Can be more expensive than cost reimbursable contract. The seller will have to provide for risk in his price quoted.

Advantages and disadvantages of Time & Materials 171 Contracts Advantages of time & materials contracts include: Quick to create Good choice when you are hiring "bodies" or people to augment your staff. Disadvantages of time & materials contracts include: Seller has no incentive to control cost Requires monitoring of daily output More suitable for small projects only

Advantages & disadvantages of Cost Reimbursable contracts 172 Advantages of cost reimbursable contracts include: Simpler contract statement of work. Usually requires less work to define the scope than fixed price. Generally lower cost than fixed price because the seller does not have to add for risk. Disadvantages of cost reimbursable contracts include: Require auditing of the seller's invoices. Require more work for the buyer to manage. Seller has only a moderate incentive to control costs. Total price is unknown.

Code of Ethics 192 Eight guidelines to help you establish a strong ethics foundation for your professional activities: Recognize that managing ethics is a process – it is the process of reflection and dialog that produces deliverables such as codes, policies and procedures. The goal of an ethics management initiative is preferred behavior in the project environment. The best way to manage ethical dilemmas, like negative project risks, is to avoid their occurrence in the first place. Make ethics decisions in teams, and make decisions public, as appropriate. Integrate ethics management with other project practices. Define preferred ethical values in the project management plan. Use cross- functional teams to develop your ethics management plan. Benefit from varied input. Value forgiveness - help project personnel recognize and address their mistakes and then support them to continue to try to operate ethically Give yourself credit for trying - attempting to operate ethically and making a few mistakes is better than not trying at all. All projects are comprised of people and people are not perfect.

Balance stakeholder’s interest 193 Strive for fair resolution in order to satisfy competing needs and objectives. Follow this order to resolve conflicting objectives: The reason why the project was initiated The project charter including the project’s needs and objectives. The constraints. Review the competing needs and objectives Look for alternatives by crashing, fast tracking, re- estimating, brainstorming and other related techniques. Hold meetings, interviews and facilitate discussions to resolve competing objectives Make decisions and changes Bring suggested changes to the project charter to management’s attention for approval Deal with problems & conflicts when they arise
