Project management is a complementary discipline that helps you run your projects very easily. As a simple as that and the best part of project management is pretty much all professionals be it an accountant, financial manager, and chemist can benefit from it. Project management is applicable to every single professional.
The definition of project is temporary endeavors to create a unique solution. Project and operation are not same things. The project ends, so it is temporary. You can implement your project, you choose it and you create a unique product or service or whether outcomes you wanted that you are done but in operation, it is on - going and reparative.
To run any project you need two methodologies. The first one is a project life cycle and the second one is project management process. Project life cycle is unique to a project to an industry to your needs. It’s highly customizable. For example, A human development is a project. So our life cycle have several phases 1) Conceiving, 2) Birth, 3) Childhood, 4) Teenager, 5) Adulthood, and 6) Death. So similarly in software project has same phases Design, Coding, Testing, Installation and Turnover. Finally we can say that project lifecycles is a sequential steps of various phases of a project (APM, 2014).
A Project process is a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a pre - specified product result or service. In project management there are five main process group (O’Brien, 2006).
Initiating
Planning
Executing
Monitoring and Controlling
Closing
The Initiating process group contains process that helps to kickoff that phase or project. The process in the planning group is making a plan and objectives for a project. The execution process group we implementing our ideas as per goal and objective. Here we really make and execute the project. The real work is happened in this phase. The monitoring and controlling phase is for evaluating, checking and tracking and making the process of project. Finally, the process in the closing group ends phase or wrap-up or finalized the project process.
