How project management translates to project success
November 20, 2009
Project management does contribute to project success by clearly identifying project goals, requirements, deliverables or milestones and this helps the project team to know what work is to be done and what work is not to be done.
Project management also contributes to the success of a project by providing project planning tools that help in allocation of resources, scheduling of activities and help in communication within the project.
Project management provides a structure or framework on how the progress of the project is to be monitored, controlled and reported to project stakeholders thus keeping project sponsors in the picture and ensures their support and participation in the project.
Project management provides for risk management and this helps project managers to identify project risks early in the project’s life and thus project managers are able to devise ways on how to monitor, control, and reduce those risks thus ensuring project success.
Project management ensures that the project deliverables whether products or services are of high quality by instituting quality test and procedures within project activities. This ensures that the quality standards set by the organization or the project sponsor are met.
Project management ensures the projects is delivered on time and on budget by providing tools that can be used by the project manager to schedule, monitor and control project activities, resources and deliverables e.g. Gantt charts, activity diagrams etc.
