Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Launching –Too many projects –Too few qualified project managers –Crash-schedule mentality Planning, Estimating, Scheduling –Unrealistic, undefined, or unclear objectives and scope –Plans are neither detailed nor comprehensive –Naïve time and cost estimates –Silver bullet syndrome Organizing, Staffing –Poorly defined roles and reporting relationships –Project Manager not empowered to manage –Resources inadequate and / or ineffective –Failure to organize the team to deal with cross-functional scope Communication –Lack of discipline in regularly communicating to stakeholders –Lack of knowledge on what communication is required –Lack of management reviews
  2. Project management is the art and science of converting an idea into a product, process or deliverable through a structured efficient and effective methodology . Successful project managers have good interpersonal skills, management knowledge and skills, understand their environment and have some understanding of application of the project.
  3. How would you rate yourself today in terms of your project management capabilities? The good news is that these knowledge and skills can be learned and applied to improve the success of your projects. That is what project management is all about!
  4. Project managers can’t do it alone, and project success also depends on how they can coordinate the activities of others. This is not comprehensive, but these are common roles to identify. • Note –An individual or group may play multiple roles in a given project
  5. In addition to working with others, project managers can use the proven processes and methodologies of thousands of other successful projects and project managers. This is one subject where copying from your neighbor is encouraged! Project Phase: A project management methodology that breaks project activities into distinct segments where specific work and deliverables are performed. Gates: Distinct checkpoints that signifies a completion of work within a given phase. Progression between phases is “gated” and progression to the next phase is opened by approval from a designated decision making body. Benefits: Understanding of what work needs to be performed by whom and when to optimize project success. Aligns all stakeholders to provide collaborative support for direction, continuous feedback, ratification of work completed, risk mitigation, change control, and monitoring of project success metrics.
  6. Today’s scope is to provide an introduction to common work completed during the initiation, or starting phase of projects, not to cover. The purpose of the initiation phase is to obtain the sponsor and customer’s agreement that the project’s objectives, success criteria, and the value the project will provide. The primary deliverable or output of this phase is called the project charter.
  7. Example of how charters are used to charter a ship. The sponsor determines the destination of the boat, the scope of the trip, the schedule, approved budget, and which captain/boat to hire. The captain ensures the boat stays on track, communicates progress on a regular basis with the sponsor, and delivers the value agreed to with the sponsor. The captain is the project manager working within the project charter. Could you imagine starting a trip with no clear destination, purpose, budget, timeline etc? That is what starting a project without a project charter is like…
  8. Recognizing the importance of project charters, Enactus has recently encouraged common project charter templates for teams to use when initiating new projects. One can be found online at: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form?EQBCT=d56c959b5e5043b9ad0ecf8d09a29150 We will use a draft modifcation of this template to begin a draft charter for your project now. We will skip over the needs analysis section and focus on the scope section. After you become familiar with this and have most of the information required, you can go online and complete the online project charter at the link provided. Your assigned Enactus regional program manager will then be aware of what projects you’re considering, and can provide relevant assistance.
