Project management is important for all organizations, both large and small. It allows organizations to implement new initiatives like developing products or services, establishing new production lines, or building programs. In today's fast-paced environment, project management is a powerful tool that helps organizations complete complex projects on tight timelines using cross-functional expertise. The document then discusses the key elements of project management, including formulation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. It also covers the various phases of project management like identification, selection, appraisal, and review.
Fundamentals of project management july 7, 2012 revisedgorby626
The document discusses the fundamentals of project management and the project life cycle. It describes the key phases as initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closure. The initiation phase involves determining the project scope, timing and key deliverables such as the project charter and feasibility reports. A limitation of initiation is the lack of quality information. The document outlines what is considered in each phase of the project life cycle.
The document discusses different models of project cycles including the Baum cycle, DEPSA cycle, and UNIDO cycle.
The Baum cycle originally had 4 stages (identification, preparation, appraisal/selection, implementation) but later added an evaluation stage. It describes each stage in detail.
The DEPSA cycle has 3 phases (pre-investment, investment, operation) divided into 6 stages.
The UNIDO cycle also has 3 phases - pre-investment, investment, operational. The pre-investment phase includes opportunity studies, pre-feasibility studies, functional studies, and feasibility studies. It provides details on the objectives and components of each.
The document defines key concepts related to projects including:
- A project is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end, undertaken to create a unique product or service.
- Project management is the application of skills and techniques to manage project activities and meet stakeholder needs and expectations.
- Projects are characterized by being temporary and producing unique outputs.
- The primary challenges of project management are delivering project goals within constraints of scope, time, quality and budget.
Project Management and Control Techniquesssuser8e973a
This document provides an overview of key topics related to project management. It discusses the meaning and definitions of projects, including their objectives and characteristics. The different phases of the project life cycle are outlined, from concept stage through completion stage. Methods of project scheduling like PERT and CPM are mentioned. The importance of project identification, capital budgeting, generating project proposals, and project reports are covered. Factors in project analysis, evaluation and selection, financing, and implementation are also summarized.
The document discusses project lifecycles and feasibility studies. It describes two common models of project lifecycles - the Baum/World Bank model consisting of identification, preparation, appraisal, implementation, and evaluation phases, and the UNIDO model with pre-investment, investment, and operational phases. It emphasizes the importance of feasibility studies during the preparation phase to analyze technical, economic, environmental, financial, and other factors to determine if a project is viable and how to implement it successfully. Poor project preparation can lead to issues like low utilization, cost overruns, and failure to achieve goals.
The document describes three models of project life cycles:
1. The Baum model which includes 5 stages - identification, preparation, appraisal, implementation, and evaluation.
2. The UNIDO model which includes 3 phases - pre-investment, investment, and operational. The pre-investment phase includes opportunity studies, pre-feasibility studies, feasibility studies, and appraisal reports.
3. The DEPSA (Ethiopia) model which includes a pre-investment phase but does not provide details on other phases.

The document provides an introduction to project management. It defines a project as a temporary work effort with a defined start and finish undertaken to create a unique product, service or result. Key characteristics of projects include being unique, having a definite start and end, and utilizing skills from multiple professions. The three main constraints of a project are time, cost, and performance quality. The document also discusses the project life cycle, which typically includes phases for concept, design, execution, and commissioning. It notes that project management involves applying knowledge and techniques to meet requirements within the constraints.
The document discusses various phases of project development and life cycles. It begins by discussing systems thinking perspectives in project management. It then discusses traditional project phases of start, plan, execute and closeout. However, it notes projects begin before the start phase and products continue after closeout. Various predictive and agile life cycle models are described, including waterfall, prototyping, RAD and incremental build. PMI's standard 4 phase model is also discussed. The relationship between project and product life cycles is explored, with product life cycles having introduction, growth, maturity, decline and termination phases. Purposes of life cycle models are defined.
The document discusses the system life cycle and project life cycle. It describes the typical phases of a system's development cycle, including conception, definition, execution, and operation. The conception phase involves identifying needs and potential solutions. The definition phase further specifies requirements and designs a solution. The execution phase encompasses building, testing, and implementing the system. Finally, the operation phase involves maintaining and improving the system once in use. Agile project management is also covered, which takes a more flexible approach through iterative development compared to traditional project management.

6. Characteristics of a project
1. A project involves a single, definable purpose, end-item, or result, usually
specified in terms of cost, schedule, and performance requirements.
2. Every project is unique in that it requires doing something different than
was done previously. Even in “routine” projects such as home construction,
variables such as terrain, access, zoning laws, labor market, public services,
and local utilities make each project different. A project is a one-time activity,
never to be exactly repeated again.
3. Projects are temporary activities. An ad hoc organization of personnel,
material, and facilities is assembled to accomplish a goal, usually within a
scheduled time frame; once the goal is achieved, the organization is disbanded
or reconfigured to begin work on a new goal.

7. Characteristics of a project (cont’d)
4. Projects cut across organizational lines because they need the skills and talents
from multiple professions and organizations. Project complexity often arises from
the complexity of advanced technology, which creates task interdependencies that
may introduce new and unique problems.
5. project is the process of working to achieve a goal; during the process, projects
pass through several distinct phases, called the project life cycle. The tasks,
people, organizations, and other resources change as the project moves from one
phase to the next. The organization structure and resource expenditures slowly
build with each succeeding phase; peak; and then decline as the project nears
completion..
6. Flexibility: Change and projects are synonymous. Always a project witnesses
multiples of modifications and changes in its original plans, programs and
budgets.

8. Why project?
projects are typically initiated for one or more of the
following reasons:
When starting a new business
In order to develop/modify a product or service/Responses to
competition/Desire to be more competitive
For relocating and/or closing a facility
For regulatory mandate/ New laws and regulations
In order to re-engineer the process so as to reduce
complaints, reduce cycle time, and eliminate errors /For
implementing a new system or process
To introduce new equipment, tools or techniques
Market demand/At the request of a customer

objectives. This explanation assumes that program is a plan of activities with general objectives that would
be derived from the development plan.
Project Program
Differences
Specific objective General objective
Specific project area No specific project area
Specific beneficiaries group No specific beneficiaries group
Clearly determined and allotted Fund No clear & detailed financial
resource allocation
Specific lifetime No specific lifetime
Similarities: Projects and programs have similar characteristics in terms of:
Having objective
Requiring financial, human, material, etc. inputs
Generating output (goods/services)
Serving as instruments for the execution of development plans in order to develop the national economy.

Stakeholders are important to a project because:
They can be critical in its success or failure
They can have a much better understanding of the feasibility of
different actions and the resources required to reach certain objectives
than an outsider to the project
Their expectations need to be managed
They can provide important information on the progress of the project

14. PROJECT LIFE CYCLE – MODELS
A project is broken down into stages �
It is the cycle that defines distinct but interdependent phases through which a
project passes from its point of initiation to its completion.
Basic models:
Lockyer describes a four phase model
Baum’s model of project cycle
UNIDO Project cycle
DEPSA’s cycle

15. Lockyer’s Four Phase Model
�Lockyer describes a four phase model of the
project process:
Conception - assess the feasibility of the project �
Development - prepare the project plan
Realisation - carry out the plan �
Termination - close the project

Baum’s model of project cycle: Initiated by Baum in 1970, was
improved in 1978 and has been adopted by the World Bank ever since. initially
recognized four main stages, namely:
Identification (sources: Resources , Market, Need,
technical specialists, Existing projects)
Preparation (Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies)

Technical analysis, Financial analysis, Socio-economic
analysis, Environmental analysis, Organization and
management analysis.)

b) Pre-feasibility studies
a further assessment of the project idea might be made in a pre-
feasibility study. This is to see if:
• All possible project alternatives are examined
• The project concept justifies detail study
• All aspects are critical and need in-depth investigation
• The project idea is viable and attractive or not.

e) Appraisal report
It is considered as an independent stage of the pre-investment phase, marked
by the final investment and financing decisions taken by the project
promoters.
It is carried out when a feasibility study is completed, where various parties
will handle their own appraisal of the investment project in accordance with
their individual objectives and evaluation of expected risks, costs, and gain.

Definition and meaning project identification
Project identification is the systematic process for finding or locating
and screening promising project ideas from their respective sources.
In other words, project identification is the first stage in any project
cycle which is concerned about germinating or incubation promising
project ideas using appropriate method.
41. 41
Sources of project idea
There are several sources of project idea. These various sources
are broadly classified into two as:
Macro level
Micro level
42. 42
Sources of project idea
At the macro-level, project ideas emerge from:
National policies, strategies & priorities as may be enunciated by
government from time to time;
National, sectoral, sub-sectoral or regional programs supplemented by
special studies, sometimes called opportunity studies, conducted with the
explicit aim of translation of national and sectoral, sub-sectoral and
regional programs into specific projects;
Constraints on the development process
Government decision to correct social and regional inequalities
A possible external threat
Unusual events such as droughts, floods, earthquakes, hostilities, etc.
At the macro-level, project ideas can also originate from multilateral or
bilateral development agencies
43. 43
Sources of project idea
At the micro-level, the variety of sources is equally broad. Project ideas
emanate from:
The existence of unsatisfied demand or needs.
The existence of unused or underutilized natural or human
resources and the perception of opportunities for their efficient
use.
Analyze the performance of existing industries;
Review imports and exports;
Attend Trade fairs, exhibitions and conferences.
44. 44
Approaches to project identification
To locate project ideas from different sources one can follow one of
the following approaches.
SWOT analysis
PEST analysis
45. 45
Project idea screening
Once potential project ideas have been identified and before they are placed into a
detail project preparation, they should be subjected for preliminary screening. With
project idea screening, those ideas are evaluated in terms of :
Their compatibility with the promoter
Their consistency with government development plan and priority
Availability of Inputs
Adequacy of Reasonableness of costs
Acceptability of risk level.
At the end of the preliminary screening, the analyst should eliminate project ideas
that:
Are technically unsound and risky;
Have no market for the output;
Have inadequate supply of inputs;
Are very costly in relation to benefits;
46. 46
Project idea screening
For project idea screening mostly we use project rating index. To work with
project rating index the analyst should follow the following steps.
1. Identify factors relevant for project rating.
2. Assign weights to these factors (the weights are supposed to reflect
their relatives importance).
3. Rate the project proposal on various factors, using a suitable rating
scale. (Typically a 5-point scale of a 7-point scale is used for this
purpose).
4. For each factor multiply the factor rating with the factor weight to
get the factor score.
5. Add all the factor scores to get the overall project-planning index.
47. 47
Project idea screening
Porter model
Michael Porter has argued that the profit potential of an industry
depends on the combined strength of the following five basic
competitive forces:
• Threat of new entrants
• Industry rivals
• Threat of substitute products
• Bargaining power of buyers
• Bargaining power of sellers
According to this model, project ideas that favorably live up to these
forces should be passed to the preparation phase.
