"Every project participant from
part-time team member to
executive sponsor, becomes more
effective once he or she
understands the basics of project
management“

4. PM History
• Until 1900 civil engineering projects were generally managed by creative
architects, engineers, and master builders themselves
• It was in the 1950s that organizations started to systematically apply project
management tools and techniques to complex engineering projects
• Two forefathers of project management are Henry Gantt, called the father of
planning and control techniques, who is famous for his use of the Gantt chart as
a project management tool (alternatively Harmonogram first proposed by Karol
Adamiecki); and Henri Fayol for his creation of the five management functions
that form the foundation of the body of knowledge associated with project and
program management
• Frederick Winslow Taylor's theories of scientific management work is the
forerunner to modern project management
• The 1950s marked the beginning of the modern project management era where
core engineering fields come together to work as one

5. From Engineering to
Management
• Until the 20th Century projects were managed by
creative architects, engineers and master builders
• As a management discipline, project
management developed from several fields of
application including civil construction,
engineering, and heavy defense
• Only in 1950’s Project management became
recognized as a distinct discipline arising from the
management discipline with engineering model

6. Is PM Sexy?
• Until the early '90s, project management was
definitely located somewhere near the unsexy end of
the business spectrum.
• But now, with the rise of downsizing and outsourcing,
it has become one of the hot disciplines.
• Professional membership of the U.S.-based Project
Management Institute has quadrupled in the last
decade, and
• Microsoft claimed recently to have over 2 million users
worldwide of its project-management software.

7. The reasons for this growth
o Project management is about managing
"projects," that is, unique pieces of work
(as opposed to ongoing operations)
o Downsizing, outsourcing, and the
accelerating pace of change have meant
that, increasingly, work is carried out on
an ad-hoc, one-off project basis
10/6/2013 7
8. Why Project Management?
• Regardless of your industry or mission, project
management is the value driver that helps your
organization get the most out of its performance.
• When tailored or “fit” to an organization’s culture,
project management brings value by improving:
– The execution of strategy, through repeatable, reliable
performance and standardization;
– The integration within the organization, through
elimination of “silos” and better communication and
collaboration;
– The learning that a Projectise organization undergoes as it
explores new products, processes and markets.

9. Evidence of PM Importance
• One-fifth of the world’s GDP, or more than $12 trillion, is
spent on project
• Society of Human Resources (SHRM) identifies PM as
having a major strategic impact for 64% of organizations
world wide
• PM Certification helps make sure that you’ll be ready for
the above need
• There are already more than 460,000 PMI credential (PMP)
holders around the world and in every industry
• The PMI has a global membership of 383,118 as at 30th
April 2012
Note: PM-project management
10/6/2013 9
10. Evidence of PM Importance
• The ‘2012 PMI Pulse of the Profession’ study
found that organizations with more than 35%
PMP certified project managers had better
project performance
• And according to a 2007
PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, 80% of high-
performing projects use a credentialed project
manager
10/6/2013 10
11. 10/6/2013 11
According to the Standish CHAOS
Report (2009)
• 68% of projects do not meet time/cost/quality targets. Only
32% of projects were completed on time, within budget and
delivered measurable business and stakeholder benefits.
• There are many reasons for such failures. As per a KPMG
survey of 252 organizations, technology is not the most critical
factor.
• Usually the reasons are, 1.Inadequate project management
implementation constitutes 32% of project failures,2.l ack of
communication constitutes 20% and 3.Unfamiliarity with
scope and complexity constitutes 17%.
• Accordingly 69% of project failures are due to lack of and/or
improper implementation of project management
methodologies
12. PM Approaches
– The traditional approach/Waterfall approach

take a general project management class, only the sections that pertain to
project scheduling can be applied towards the maintenance of the PMI-SP
credential.
o Remember, if you hold the PMP or PgMP credential(s), you may apply the 30
PDUs used for project scheduling toward the maintenance of the other two
credentials.
o .Once you earn and report the required amount of PDUs, you need to complete
an Application for Certification Renewal, reaffirm the PMI Code of Ethics and
Professional Conduct and the Certification Application/Renewal Agreement and
submit payment of the renewal fee

47. PM4NGOs
• Formed on 10 September 2010, Project
Management for Non Governmental
Organizations (PM4NGOs)
• This is a new international PM professional NGO,
founded at InterAction in Washington, DC, USA.
• PM4NGOs began as an initiative to promote the
use of professional project management methods
in the development sector.
• The real effort began in 1977
10/6/2013 47
48. Over the past three years…
• PM4NGOs has designed a curriculum, tested it in over
30 countries with over 200 field-based project
managers from fifteen different organizations.
• Most recently a curriculum has been translated into an
independently accredited certification scheme with the
help of the APMGroup in the United Kingdom.
• This is as a result of the contribution of a consortium of
NGOs focused on sharing learning resources and
experiences to improve the capacity of NGOs operating
in the developing world
10/6/2013 48
49. The Project Management in Development
Professional (PMD Pro) certification
• was launched in early in 2010 creating the
need for an independent accrediting body
• was necessary to maintain the integrity of the
standard and its independence from any
single organization
• the founding Board members represent
international humanitarian relief and
development organizations
10/6/2013 49
50. Why PM4NGOs?
-Mike Culligan, a founder member
• Current PM standards(e.g. PMI, IPMA.) are not easy to
apply in NGOs
• They simply do not connect with the way development
workers are running their projects(NGOs)
• The founders wanted to promote ‘proven best
practices’ for the NGOs
• Produced ‘The Guide to the PMD Pro’
• The Guide(like PMBoK) can be promoted by
independent training & consulting firms
Ref: ‘The fast forward MBA’, by ERIC VERZUH

53. Project Management Consulting
• Consulting firms can help your organization to:
• Objectively assess current processes against
industry-recognized best practices.
• Identify gaps in project management practices.
• Focus on improvement opportunities to drive
business performance results.
• ‘The PMI Consultant Registry’ helps cut through the clutter
and search for project, program and portfolio management
consulting firms that fit one’s expertise and selection criteria
10/6/2013 53
54. Project Management Research
• Project Management Research is proposed as a distinct
sub-discipline within the profession
• Disruptive innovations can be preceded by decades of
research, experimentation and development phases prior
to implementation
• In the coming years, the results of today’s research will
determine the kinds of occupations that will drive the
economy belonging to the first, truly post-industrial
generation
• It will be imperative for project management professionals
to work with researchers, scientists, developers,
manufacturers, ethicists and ethnographers to facilitate a
transition toward an even more knowledge worker-based
economy than we are familiar with now
10/6/2013 54
55. Why PM Research is Different
• Research, by its definition, is different. If the outcome were
predictable, there would be no need to conduct an
experiment!
• The scientific method, as it is taught in classrooms,
demands that observations be made
• IN project management there is not necessarily a
predictable start. There is no predictable end
• The outcome – let alone the output – is dubious. Research
creates or builds on either new knowledge or through
disruptive innovation.
• Project Management Research seeks to facilitate these
endeavours while mitigating unjustifiable risk
• It is posited here that Project Management Research is a
distinct sub-discipline within the profession
10/6/2013 55
56. PMI Malaysia Chapter (PMIMY)
• The Project Management Institute, Malaysia
Chapter (PMIMY) is a Chapter of the Project
Management Institute (PMI)
