processes, methods, skills, knowledge and experience
to achieve specific project objectives according to the

organizing a project and its resources. This includes
identifying and managing the lifecycle to be used,

formulating the project team, and efficiently guiding
the team through all phases until project completion.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
5. The driving force behind every organization is its
management team. Different teams operate in different
ways. There is no universal accurate management to
define the one that is best.
Just the concept that explains why some
operations were managed successfully in the past to
suggest what can be done for future success.

6. Some companies have shown steadiness if not
spectacular growth for maintaining reputation of
conservatism. Others have dynamic reputations built on
rapid growth with impressive earnings.
Their reputations have demonstrated their
divergent management philosophies converted into
practice.

7. 1. THE EXPANSION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) &
AUTOMATION
Impact:
Many companies have already started using AI in project
management to perform their daily tasks that require human
effort through task automation. The effect goes beyond
automating simple tasks but is also quite helpful in obtaining
performance insights.

10. 2. INCLUSION OF HYBRID PROJECT MANAGEMENT
APPROACHES
Impact:
For instance, on mixing the traditional approach with the Agile
methodology, team members with different views, working
styles can work together in their own way making way for
more stability, engagement, and efficiency.

11. 3. THE IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ)
Impact:
Managing projects go beyond defining the scope, making
deadlines, deciding the budget. Project managers have to
manage people as well and that means more complications.
Failing to understand team members’ emotions could lead to
a lot of emotional activity in a team. Obviously, the result isn’t
always all hunky-dory.

12. 4. MORE FOCUS ON DATA ANALYTICS AND NUMBERS
Impact:
Whether it’s project planning, quality management, or risk
estimation, the use of big data analysis has already started
shaping the project management world. The collected data is
useful to learn how to form teams, the size of the team, how
to include and position team members, skill sets needed to
manage projects better.

SOLUTIONS
Impact:
Project management tools and solutions have always been
the game-changing factor. Below are some ways how these
tools are making positive changes in project management.
Project planning: Uses data from previous projects to plan
better

14. Scheduling and time tracking: Keeps track of time spent on
tasks and manages scheduled events, meetings, milestones,
and deadlines
Communication and collaboration: Lets you share critical
information with team members, clients, stakeholders

16. 6. INCREASED REMOTE WORKING
Impact:
Remote project management offers many benefits. The first
one being more flexibility in the schedule and second, not
having to commute to the office every day. Project costs are
also reduced. Plus, you get an opportunity to work a diverse
talent pool.

17. What is a PROJECT?
A project refers to a specific, singular endeavor to deliver a
tangible output.
A project manager is therefore responsible for ensuring a
project delivers on its intended output in line with a defined
time frame and budget.
PROJECT AND PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
18. What is a PROGRAM?
A program refers to multiple projects which are managed and
delivered as a single package.
A program manager is therefore tasked with overseeing all
the projects comprising the program – to ensure it achieves
its outcomes.
PROJECT AND PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
19. HOW PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS DIFFER?
Structure:
The components of a project are specific and exact.
The scope and goals of a project are well-defined – while
programs are typically less clear-cut.
Because a program covers multiple projects – a program
team tends to be larger as it also incorporates the project
managers and their project team members.
PROJECT AND PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
20. Effort:
A project represents a single, focused endeavor.
A program is a collection of projects – together all the
projects form a connected package of work. The different
projects complement each other to assist the program in
achieving its overall objectives.
PROJECT AND PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
21. Length:
While some projects take several years – the typical project
will not take very long to complete.
Programs often take a very long time to complete as they
intend to deliver more. It’s therefore common for programs
to be organized into phases or tranches.
A particularly long project may also be organized into
multiple phases – but this is less common.
PROJECT AND PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
22. Benefits:
Projects focus on achieving tangible outputs, i.e. what you
gain upon completing the project.
Programs focus on outcomes – which are often not
tangible. The benefits provided by a program depend on
the collective benefits of its projects. Examples of a
program outcome include a cultural or political change
within an organization – or a change in the way in which an
organization operates.
