What is the Project?...Cont’d
• Within the context of project management, the project
manager is responsible for ensuring the overall success of the
project.
• The responsibility of the project manager is to work
closely with an array of stakeholders to complete the work
of the project.
• These stakeholders - including members of the project
team, implementing organizations, contractors, community
groups and others - must work together to design,
implement and control all aspects of the project.

Project Management
• Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and
managing resources to bring about the successful delivery of specific
project goals, outcomes and outputs.

• The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the


project’s goals, outcomes and outputs, while honoring the
preconceived project constraints related to scope, budget, schedule
and quality.

Programs Management
• Program management is the process of managing a group of related
projects in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not
available through managing them individually.

• Programs, unlike projects, are often managed via centralized


management which aims to coordinate a group of projects to achieve
the program’s strategic objectives and benefits.

Portfolio Management
• Portfolio management oversees the performance of the organization’s
collection of project and programs.

• Portfolios are generally managed by a senior team at the highest level


of an organization or by a specific unit of an organization (regional
office or headquarters).

Project Cycle Management
• The way in which projects are planned and carried out
follows a sequence or pattern which is known as the
project cycle.

• The cycle starts with an idea and develops that idea


into a working plan which can be implemented and
evaluated.

Project Cycle Management…. Cont’d
The stages in the project cycle are designed to:
• Help us think through the key steps in setting up and running a project
• Help convert problems or ideas into projects
• Ensure that projects are documented and prepared so that they are
technically and institutionally feasible
• Help priorities between different projects
• Help projects achieve sustainable outputs
• Improve monitoring and reporting
• Encourage and improve the process of learning by experience

need to find out who should benefit and what their needs are.
– D E S I G N Once it is decided to go ahead with the project, we can
start to think about the detail.
– IMPLEMENTATION During the implementation of the project it is
important to monitor and review the progress of the project and any
outside changes that affect it.
