A project management process is the management process of planning and controlling the performance or execution of a project. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while adhering to classic project constraints usually scope, time and budget. The secondary and more ambitious challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives. A project is a carefully defined set of activities that use resources (money, people, materials, energy, space, provisions, communication, motivation, etc.) to achieve the project goals and objectives. There are several approaches that can be taken to managing project activities including agile, interactive, incremental, and phased approaches. Regardless of the approach employed, careful consideration needs to be given to clarify surrounding project objectives, goals, and importantly, the roles and responsibilities of all participants and stakeholders.Traditional approaches to online project management have emphasized the procedures involved. This reflects an idea of project management which has emphasized physical resources and the use of analytical techniques such as network analysis. Another approach which has been found to be effective is much more people and organization oriented and can be broken down into a series of steps:
Clarifying the nature of the project
Cost management plan - Sets the format and establishes criteria for planning, structuring, estimating, budgeting, and controlling project costs
Planning is the process that will formulate project goals and objectives. Planning includes the most processes of all the project management process groups. Documentation developed during the planning process is critical to the executing, controlling & monitoring, and closing process groups. Planning is very important because it has effects on all the other areas of project management and includes budget reviews, activity definitions, project scope, schedule development; risk ID, Staffing, procurement planning, etc.
Process improvement plan - Details the steps for analyzing processes that will facilitate the identification of waste and non-value added activity in order to increase customer value
Project implementation and control
Closing is the process that is most often skipped but is very important to bringing the project to a formal end. Final acceptance is needed by the stakeholders before a project can be closed. Close-out procedures should be outlined in the project charter.
