Project management

Project management is the process of supervising the work of a team to achieve all project goals within the given constraints.[1] This information is usually described in
project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. The primary constraints are scope, time and budget.[2] The secondary challenge is to optimize
the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to meet predefined objectives.

The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives. In many cases, the objective of project management is also
to shape or reform the client's brief to feasibly address the client's objectives. Once the client's objectives are established, they should influence all decisions made by other
people involved in the project– for example, project managers, designers, contractors and subcontractors. Ill-defined or too tightly prescribed project management
objectives are detrimental to the decisionmaking process.

A project is a temporary and unique endeavor designed to produce a product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, often
constrained by funding or staffing) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.[3][4] The temporary nature of
projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations),[5] which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or
services. In practice, the management of such distinct production approaches requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.[6]

History
Until 1900, civil engineering projects were generally managed by creative architects, engineers, and master builders themselves, for example, Vitruvius (first century BC),
Christopher Wren (1632–1723), Thomas Telford (1757–1834), and Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859).[7] In the 1950s, organizations started to apply project-
management tools and techniques more systematically to complex engineering projects.[8]

As a discipline, project management developed from several fields of application including civil construction, engineering, and heavy defense
activity.[9] Two forefathers of project management are Henry Gantt, called the father of planning and control techniques,[10] who is famous for
his use of the Gantt chart as a project management tool (alternatively Harmonogram first proposed by Karol Adamiecki);[11] and Henri Fayol
for his creation of the five management functions that form the foundation of the body of knowledge associated with project and program
management.[12] Both Gantt and Fayol were students of Frederick Winslow Taylor's theories of scientific management. His work is the
forerunner to modern project management tools including work breakdown structure (WBS) and resource allocation.

The 1950s marked the beginning of the modern project management era, where core engineering fields came together to work as one. Project
management became recognized as a distinct discipline arising from the management discipline with the engineering model.[13] In the United
States, prior to the 1950s, projects were managed on an ad-hoc basis, using mostly Gantt charts and informal techniques and tools. At that time,
two mathematical project-scheduling models were developed. The critical path method (CPM) was developed as a joint venture between Henry Gantt (1861–1919),
DuPont Corporation and Remington Rand Corporation for managing plant maintenance projects. The program evaluation and review the father of planning and
technique (PERT), was developed by the U.S. Navy Special Projects Office in conjunction with the Lockheed Corporation and Booz Allen control techniques
Hamilton as part of the Polaris missile submarine program.[14]

PERT and CPM are very similar in their approach but still present some differences. CPM is used for projects that assume deterministic activity times; the times at which
each activity will be carried out are known. PERT, on the other hand, allows for stochastic activity times; the times at which each activity will be carried out are uncertain or
varied. Because of this core difference, CPM and PERT are used in different contexts. These mathematical techniques quickly spread into many private enterprises.

At the same time, as project-scheduling models were being developed, technology for project cost estimating, cost management and
engineering economics was evolving, with pioneering work by Hans Lang and others. In 1956, the American Association of Cost
Engineers (now AACE International; the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering) was formed by early practitioners of
project management and the associated specialties of planning and scheduling, cost estimating, and project control. AACE continued
its pioneering work and in 2006, released the first integrated process for portfolio, program, and project management (total cost
management framework).

In 1969, the Project Management Institute (PMI) was formed in the USA.[15] PMI publishes the original version of A Guide to the
PERT network chart for a seven-month
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) in 1996 with William Duncan as its primary author, which describes
project with five milestones
project management practices that are common to "most projects, most of the time."[16]

Project management types

Project management methods can be applied to any project. It is often tailored to a specific type of project based on project size, nature, industry or sector. For example, the
construction industry, which focuses on the delivery of things like buildings, roads, and bridges, has developed its own specialized form of project management that it refers
to as construction project management and in which project managers can become trained and certified.[17] The information technology industry has also evolved to
develop its own form of project management that is referred to as IT project management and which specializes in the delivery of technical assets and services that are
required to pass through various lifecycle phases such as planning, design, development, testing, and deployment. Biotechnology project management focuses on the
intricacies of biotechnology research and development.[18] Localization project management includes application of many standard project management practices to
translation works even though many consider this type of management to be a very different discipline. For example, project managers have a key role in improving the
translation even when they do not speak the language of the translation, because they know the study objectives well to make informed decisions.[19] Similarly, research
study management can also apply a project manage approach.[20] There is public project management that covers all public works by the government, which can be carried
out by the government agencies or contracted out to contractors. Another classification of project management is based on the hard (physical) or soft (non-physical) type.

Common among all the project management types is that they focus on three important goals: time, quality, and cost. Successful projects are completed on schedule, within
budget, and according to previously agreed quality standards i.e. meeting the Iron Triangle or Triple Constraint in order for projects to be considered a success or failure.[21]
For each type of project management, project managers develop and utilize repeatable templates that are specific to the industry they're dealing with. This allows project
plans to become very thorough and highly repeatable, with the specific intent to increase quality, lower delivery costs, and lower time to deliver project results.

Approaches of project management

A 2017 study suggested that the success of any project depends on how well four key aspects are aligned with the contextual dynamics affecting the project, these are
referred to as the four P's:[22]

Plan: The planning and forecasting activities.

Process: The overall approach to all activities and project governance.
People: Including dynamics of how they collaborate and communicate.
Power: Lines of authority, decision-makers, organograms, policies for implementation and the like.
There are a number of approaches to organizing and completing project activities, including phased, lean, iterative, and incremental. There are also several extensions to
project planning, for example, based on outcomes (product-based) or activities (process-based).

Regardless of the methodology employed, careful consideration must be given to the overall project objectives, timeline, and cost, as well as the roles and responsibilities of
all participants and stakeholders.[23]

Benefits realization management

Benefits realization management (BRM) enhances normal project management techniques through a focus on outcomes (benefits) of a project rather than products or
outputs and then measuring the degree to which that is happening to keep a project on track. This can help to reduce the risk of a completed project being a failure by
delivering agreed upon requirements (outputs) i.e. project success but failing to deliver the benefits (outcomes) of those requirements i.e. product success. Note that good
requirements management will ensure these benefits are captured as requirements of the project and their achievement monitored throughout the project.

In addition, BRM practices aim to ensure the strategic alignment between project outcomes and business strategies. The effectiveness of these practices is supported by
recent research evidencing BRM practices influencing project success from a strategic perspective across different countries and industries. These wider effects are called
the strategic impact.[24]

An example of delivering a project to requirements might be agreeing to deliver a computer system that will process staff data and manage payroll, holiday, and staff
personnel records in shorter times with reduced errors. Under BRM, the agreement might be to achieve a specified reduction in staff hours and errors required to process
and maintain staff data after the system installation when compared without the system.

Critical path method

Critical path method (CPM) is an algorithm for determining the schedule for project activities. It is the traditional process used for predictive-based project planning. The
CPM method evaluates the sequence of activities, the work effort required, the inter-dependencies, and the resulting float time per line sequence to determine the required
project duration. Thus, by definition, the critical path is the pathway of tasks on the network diagram that has no extra time available (or very little extra time)."[25]

Critical chain project management

Critical chain project management (CCPM) is an application of the theory of constraints (TOC) to planning and managing projects and is designed to deal with the
uncertainties inherent in managing projects, while taking into consideration the limited availability of resources (physical, human skills, as well as management & support
capacity) needed to execute projects.

The goal is to increase the flow of projects in an organization (throughput). Applying the first three of the five focusing steps of TOC, the system constraint for all projects, as
well as the resources, are identified. To exploit the constraint, tasks on the critical chain are given priority over all other activities.

Earned value management

Earned value management (EVM) extends project management with techniques to improve project monitoring.[26] It illustrates project progress towards completion in
terms of work and value (cost). Earned Schedule is an extension to the theory and practice of EVM.

Iterative and incremental project management

In critical studies of project management, it has been noted that phased approaches are not well suited for projects which are large-scale and multi-company,[27] with
undefined, ambiguous, or fast-changing requirements,[28] or those with high degrees of risk, dependency, and fast-changing technologies. The cone of uncertainty explains
some of this as the planning made on the initial phase of the project suffers from a high degree of uncertainty. This becomes especially true as software development is often
the realization of a new or novel product.

These complexities are better handled with a more exploratory or iterative and incremental approach.[29] Several models of iterative and incremental project management
have evolved, including agile project management, dynamic systems development method, extreme project management, and Innovation Engineering®.[30]

Lean project management

Lean project management uses the principles from lean manufacturing to focus on delivering value with less waste and reduced time.

Project lifecycle
There are five phases to a project lifecycle; known as process groups. Each process group represents a series of inter-related processes to manage the work through a series
of distinct steps to be completed. This type of project approach is often referred to as "traditional"[31] or "waterfall".[32] The five process groups are:

1. Initiating
2. Planning
3. Executing
4. Monitoring and Controlling
5. Closing
Some industries may use variations of these project stages and rename them to better suit the organization. For example,
when working on a brick-and-mortar design and construction, projects will typically progress through stages like pre-
planning, conceptual design, schematic design, design development, construction drawings (or contract documents), and
construction administration.

While the phased approach works well for small, well-defined projects, it often results in challenge or failure on larger
projects, or those that are more complex or have more ambiguities, issues, and risks[33] - see the parodying 'six phases of a Typical development phases of an engineering
project
big project'.

Process-based management
The incorporation of process-based management has been driven by the use of maturity models such as the OPM3 and the CMMI (capability maturity model integration;
see Image:Capability Maturity Model.jpg

Project production management

Project production management is the application of operations management to the delivery of capital projects. The Project production management framework is based on
a project as a production system view, in which a project transforms inputs (raw materials, information, labor, plant & machinery) into outputs (goods and services).[34]

Product-based planning
Product-based planning is a structured approach to project management, based on identifying all of the products (project deliverables) that contribute to achieving the
project objectives. As such, it defines a successful project as output-oriented rather than activity- or task-oriented.[35] The most common implementation of this approach is
PRINCE2.[36]

Process groups
Traditionally (depending on what project management methodology is being used), project management includes a number of
elements: four to five project management process groups, and a control system. Regardless of the methodology or terminology used,
the same basic project management processes or stages of development will be used. Major process groups generally include:[38]

Initiation
Planning
Production or execution
Monitoring and controlling
Closing
In project environments with a significant exploratory element (e.g., research and development), these stages may be supplemented
with decision points (go/no go decisions) at which the project's continuation is debated and decided. An example is the Phase–gate
model. The project development stages[37]

Project management relies on a wide variety of meetings to coordinate actions. For instance, there is the kick-off meeting, which
broadly involves stakeholders at the project's initiation. Project meetings or project committees enable the project team to define and monitor action plans. Steering
committees are used to transition between phases and resolve issues. Project portfolio and program reviews are conducted in organizations running parallel projects.
Lessons learned meetings are held to consolidate learnings. All these meetings employ techniques found in meeting science, particularly to define the objective, participant
list, and facilitation methods.

Initiating
The initiating processes determine the nature and scope of the project.[39] If this stage is not performed well, it is unlikely that
the project will be successful in meeting the business' needs. The key project controls needed here are an understanding of the
business environment and making sure that all necessary controls are incorporated into the project. Any deficiencies should be
reported and a recommendation should be made to fix them.
Initiating process group processes[37]
The initiating stage should include a plan that encompasses the following areas. These areas can be recorded in a series of
documents called Project Initiation documents. Project Initiation documents are a series of planned documents used to create
an order for the duration of the project. These tend to include:

project proposal (idea behind project, overall goal, duration)

project scope (project direction and track)
product breakdown structure (PBS) (a hierarchy of deliverables/outcomes and components thereof)
work breakdown structure (WBS) (a hierarchy of the work to be done, down to daily tasks)
responsibility assignment matrix (RACI - Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) (roles and responsibilities aligned to deliverables / outcomes)
tentative project schedule (milestones, important dates, deadlines)
analysis of business needs and requirements against measurable goals
review of the current operations
financial analysis of the costs and benefits, including a budget
stakeholder analysis, including users and support personnel for the project
project charter including costs, tasks, deliverables, and schedules
SWOT analysis: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the business

Planning
After the initiation stage, the project is planned to an appropriate level of detail (see an example of a flowchart).[37] The main purpose is to plan time, cost, and resources
adequately to estimate the work needed and to effectively manage risk during project execution. As with the Initiation process group, a failure to adequately plan greatly
reduces the project's chances of successfully accomplishing its goals.
Project planning generally consists of[40]

determining the project management methodology to follow (e.g. whether the plan will be defined wholly upfront, iteratively, or in rolling waves);
developing the scope statement;
selecting the planning team;
identifying deliverables and creating the product and work breakdown structures;
identifying the activities needed to complete those deliverables and networking the activities in their logical sequence;
estimating the resource requirements for the activities;
estimating time and cost for activities;
developing the schedule;
developing the budget;
risk planning;
developing quality assurance measures;
gaining formal approval to begin work.
Additional processes, such as planning for communications and for scope management, identifying roles and responsibilities, determining what to purchase for the project,
and holding a kick-off meeting are also generally advisable.

For new product development projects, conceptual design of the operation of the final product may be performed concurrent with the project planning activities and may
help to inform the planning team when identifying deliverables and planning activities.

Executing
While executing we must know what are the planned terms that need to be executed. The
execution/implementation phase ensures that the project management plan's deliverables are executed accordingly. This
phase involves proper allocation, coordination, and management of human resources and any other resources such as
materials and budgets. The output of this phase is the project deliverables.

Project documentation
Documenting everything within a project is key to being successful. To maintain budget, scope, effectiveness and pace a
project must have physical documents pertaining to each specific task. With correct documentation, it is easy to see
whether or not a project's requirement has been met. To go along with that, documentation provides information
Executing process group processes[37]
regarding what has already been completed for that project. Documentation throughout a project provides a paper trail for
anyone who needs to go back and reference the work in the past. In most cases, documentation is the most successful way
to monitor and control the specific phases of a project. With the correct documentation, a project's success can be tracked and observed as the project goes on. If performed
correctly documentation can be the backbone of a project's success

Monitoring and controlling

Monitoring and controlling consist of those processes performed to observe project execution so that potential problems
can be identified in a timely manner and corrective action can be taken, when necessary, to control the execution of the
project. The key benefit is that project performance is observed and measured regularly to identify variances from the
project management plan.

Monitoring and controlling include:[41]

Measuring the ongoing project activities ('where we are');

Monitoring the project variables (cost, effort, scope, etc.) against the project management plan and the project
Monitoring and controlling process group
performance baseline (where we should be);
processes[37]
Identifying corrective actions to address issues and risks properly (How can we get on track again);
Influencing the factors that could circumvent integrated change control so only approved changes are implemented.
Two main mechanisms support monitoring and controlling in projects. On the one hand, contracts offer a set of rules and incentives often supported by potential penalties
and sanctions.[42] On the other hand, scholars in business and management have paid attention to the role of integrators (also called project barons) to achieve a project's
objectives.[43][44] In turn, recent research in project management has questioned the type of interplay between contracts and integrators. Some have argued that these two
monitoring mechanisms operate as substitutes[45] as one type of organization would decrease the advantages of using the other one.

In multi-phase projects, the monitoring and control process also provides feedback between project phases, to implement corrective or preventive actions to bring the
project into compliance with the project management plan.

Project maintenance is an ongoing process, and it includes:[38]

Continuing support of end-users

Correction of errors
Updates to the product over time
In this stage, auditors should pay attention to how effectively and quickly user problems are resolved.

Over the course of any construction project, the work scope may change. Change is a normal and expected part of the construction
process. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, differing site conditions, material availability, contractor-
requested changes, value engineering, and impacts from third parties, to name a few. Beyond executing the change in the field, the
change normally needs to be documented to show what was actually constructed. This is referred to as change management. Hence,
the owner usually requires a final record to show all changes or, more specifically, any change that modifies the tangible portions of
the finished work. The record is made on the contract documents – usually, but not necessarily limited to, the design drawings. The
end product of this effort is what the industry terms as-built drawings, or more simply, "as built." The requirement for providing them Monitoring and controlling cycle
is a norm in construction contracts. Construction document management is a highly important task undertaken with the aid of an
online or desktop software system or maintained through physical documentation. The increasing legality pertaining to the
construction industry's maintenance of correct documentation has caused an increase in the need for document management systems.
When changes are introduced to the project, the viability of the project has to be re-assessed. It is important not to lose sight of the initial goals and targets of the projects.
When the changes accumulate, the forecasted result may not justify the original proposed investment in the project. Successful project management identifies these
components, and tracks and monitors progress, so as to stay within time and budget frames already outlined at the commencement of the project. Exact methods were
suggested to identify the most informative monitoring points along the project life-cycle regarding its progress and expected duration.[46]

Closing
Closing includes the formal acceptance of the project and the ending thereof. Administrative activities include the archiving of the
files and documenting lessons learned.

This phase consists of:[38]

Contract closure: Complete and settle each contract (including the resolution of any open items) and close each contract Closing process group processes[37]
applicable to the project or project phase.
Project close: Finalize all activities across all of the process groups to formally close the project or a project phase
Also included in this phase is the post implementation review. This is a vital phase of the project for the project team to learn from experiences and apply to future projects.
Normally a post implementation review consists of looking at things that went well and analyzing things that went badly on the project to come up with lessons learned.

Project control and project control systems

Project control (also known as Cost Engineering) should be established as an independent function in project management. It implements verification and controlling
functions during the processing of a project to reinforce the defined performance and formal goals.[47] The tasks of project control are also:

the creation of infrastructure for the supply of the right information and its update
the establishment of a way to communicate disparities in project parameters
the development of project information technology based on an intranet or the determination of a project key performance indicator system (KPI)
divergence analyses and generation of proposals for potential project regulations[48]
the establishment of methods to accomplish an appropriate project structure, project workflow organization, project control, and governance
creation of transparency among the project parameters[49]
Fulfillment and implementation of these tasks can be achieved by applying specific methods and instruments of project control. The following methods of project control
can be applied:

investment analysis
cost–benefit analysis
value benefit analysis
expert surveys
simulation calculations
risk-profile analysis
surcharge calculations
milestone trend analysis
cost trend analysis
target/actual comparison[50]
Project control is that element of a project that keeps it on track, on time, and within budget.[41] Project control begins early in the project with planning and ends late in the
project with post-implementation review, having a thorough involvement of each step in the process. Projects may be audited or reviewed while the project is in progress.
Formal audits are generally risk or compliance-based and management will direct the objectives of the audit. An examination may include a comparison of approved project
management processes with how the project is actually being managed.[51] Each project should be assessed for the appropriate level of control needed: too much control is
too time-consuming, too little control is very risky. If project control is not implemented correctly, the cost to the business should be clarified in terms of errors and fixes.

Control systems are needed for cost, risk, quality, communication, time, change, procurement, and human resources. In addition, auditors should consider how important
the projects are to the financial statements, how reliant the stakeholders are on controls, and how many controls exist. Auditors should review the development process and
procedures for how they are implemented. The process of development and the quality of the final product may also be assessed if needed or requested. A business may
want the auditing firm to be involved throughout the process to catch problems earlier on so that they can be fixed more easily. An auditor can serve as a controls consultant
as part of the development team or as an independent auditor as part of an audit.

Businesses sometimes use formal systems development processes. This help assure systems are developed successfully. A formal process is more effective in creating strong
controls, and auditors should review this process to confirm that it is well designed and is followed in practice. A good formal systems development plan outlines:

A strategy to align development with the organization's broader objectives

Standards for new systems
Project management policies for timing and budgeting
Procedures describing the process
Evaluation of quality of change

Characteristics of projects
There are five important characteristics of a project:

(i) It should always have specific start and end dates.

(ii) They are performed and completed by a group of people.

(iii) The output is the delivery of a unique product or service.

(iv) They are temporary in nature.

(v) It is progressively elaborated.

Examples are: designing a new car or writing a book.

Project complexity
Complexity and its nature play an important role in the area of project management. Despite having a number of debates on this subject matter, studies suggest a lack of
definition and reasonable understanding of complexity in relation to the management of complex projects.[52][53]

Project complexity is the property of a project which makes it difficult to understand, foresee, and keep under control its overall behavior, even when given reasonably
complete information about the project system.[54]

The identification of complex projects is specifically important to multi-project engineering environments.[55]

As it is considered that project complexity and project performance are closely related, it is important to define and measure the complexity of the project for project
management to be effective.[56]

Complexity can be:

Structural complexity (also known as detail complexity, or complicatedness), i.e. consisting of many varied interrelated parts.[57] It is typically expressed in terms of size,
variety, and interdependence of project components, and described by technological and organizational factors.
Dynamic complexity refers to phenomena, characteristics, and manifestations such as ambiguity, uncertainty, propagation, emergence, and chaos.[54]
Based on the Cynefin framework,[58] complex projects can be classified as:

Simple (or clear, obvious, known) projects, systems, or contexts. These are characterized by known knowns, stability, and clear
cause-and-effect relationships. They can be solved with standard operating procedures and best practices.
Complicated: characterized by known unknowns. A complicated system is the sum of its parts. In principle, it can be deconstructed
into smaller simpler components. While difficult, complicated problems are theoretically solvable with additional resources,
specialized expertise, analytical, reductionist, simplification, decomposition techniques, scenario planning, and following good
practices.[59][60]
Complex are characterized by unknown unknowns, and emergence. Patterns could be uncovered, but they are not obvious. A
complex system can be described by Euclid's statement that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Really complex projects, a.k.a. very complex, or chaotic: characterized by unknowables. No patterns are discernible in really
complex projects. Causes and effects are unclear even in retrospect. Paraphrasing Aristotle, a really complex system is different Simple, complicated, complex, and
from the sum of its parts.[61] really complex projects - based on
the Cynefin framework
By applying the discovery in measuring work complexity described in Requisite Organization and Stratified Systems Theory, Elliott
Jaques classifies projects and project work (stages, tasks) into seven basic levels of project complexity based on such criteria as time-
span of discretion and complexity of a project's output:[62][63]

Level 1 Project – improve the direct output of an activity (quantity, quality, time) within a business process with a targeted completion time up to 3 months.
Level 2 Project – develop and improve compliance to a business process with a targeted completion time of 3 months to 1 year.
Level 3 Project – develop, change, and improve a business process with a targeted completion time of 1 to 2 years.
Level 4 Project – develop, change, and improve a functional system with a targeted completion time of 2 to 5 years.
Level 5 Project – develop, change, and improve a group of functional systems/business functions with a targeted completion time of 5 to 10 years.
Level 6 Project – develop, change, and improve a whole single value chain of a company with targeted completion time from 10 to 20 years.
Level 7 Project – develop, change, and improve multiple value chains of a company with target completion time from 20 to 50 years.[64]
Benefits from measuring Project Complexity are to improve project people feasibility by matching the level of a project's complexity with an effective targeted completion
time, with the respective capability level of the project manager and of the project members.[65]

Positive, appropriate (requisite), and negative complexity

Similarly with the Law of requisite variety and The law of requisite complexity, project complexity is sometimes required in order for
the project to reach its objectives, and sometimes it has beneficial outcomes. Based on the effects of complexity, Stefan Morcov
proposed its classification as Positive, Appropriate, or Negative.[66][61]

Positive complexity is the complexity that adds value to the project, and whose contribution to project success outweighs the
associated negative consequences.
Appropriate (or requisite) complexity is the complexity that is needed for the project to reach its objectives, or whose contribution
to project success balances the negative effects, or the cost of mitigation outweighs negative manifestations. The Positive, Appropriate and
Negative complexity is the complexity that hinders project success. Negative complexity model
proposed by Stefan Morcov[61]
Project managers
A project manager is a professional in the field of project management. Project managers are in charge of the people in a project. People are the key to any successful
project. Without the correct people in the right place and at the right time a project cannot be successful. Project managers can have the responsibility of the planning,
execution, controlling, and closing of any project typically relating to the construction industry, engineering, architecture, computing, and telecommunications. Many other
fields of production engineering, design engineering, and heavy industrial have project managers.

A project manager needs to understand the order of execution of a project to schedule the project correctly as well as the time necessary to accomplish each individual task
within the project. A project manager is the person accountable for accomplishing the stated project objectives on behalf of the client. Project Managers tend to have
multiple years' experience in their field. A project manager is required to know the project in and out while supervising the workers along with the project. Typically in most
construction, engineering, architecture, and industrial projects, a project manager has another manager working alongside of them who is typically responsible for the
execution of task on a daily basis. This position in some cases is known as a superintendent. A superintendent and project manager work hand in hand in completing daily
project tasks. Key project management responsibilities include creating clear and attainable project objectives, building the project requirements, and managing the triple
constraint (now including more constraints and calling it competing constraints) for projects, which is cost, time, quality and scope for the first three but about three
additional ones in current project management. A typical project is composed of a team of workers who work under the project manager to complete the assignment within
the time and budget targets. A project manager normally reports directly to someone of higher stature on the completion and success of the project.
A project manager is often a client representative and has to determine and implement the exact needs of the client, based on knowledge of the firm they are representing.
The ability to adapt to the various internal procedures of the contracting party, and to form close links with the nominated representatives, is essential in ensuring that the
key issues of cost, time, quality and above all, client satisfaction, can be realized.

A complete project manager, a term first coined by Robert J. Graham in his simulation, has been expanded upon by Randall L. Englund and Alfonso Bucero. They describe a
complete project manager as a person who embraces multiple disciplines, such as leadership, influence, negotiations, politics, change and conflict management, and humor.
These are all "soft" people skills that enable project leaders to be more effective and achieve optimized, consistent results.

Multilevel success framework and criteria - project success vs. project performance
There is a tendency to confuse the project success with project management success. They are two different things. "Project success" has 2 perspectives:

the perspective of the process, i.e. delivering efficient outputs; typically called project management performance or project efficiency.
the perspective of the result, i.e. delivering beneficial outcomes; typically called project performance (sometimes just project success).[67][68][69]
Project management success criteria are different from project success criteria. The project management is said to be successful if the given project is completed within the
agreed upon time, met the agreed upon scope and within the agreed upon budget. Subsequent to the triple constraints, multiple constraints have been considered to ensure
project success. However, the triple or multiple constraints indicate only the efficiency measures of the project, which are indeed the project management success criteria
during the project lifecycle.

The priori criteria leave out the more important after-completion results of the project which comprise four levels i.e. the output (product) success, outcome (benefits)
success and impact (strategic) success during the product lifecycle. These posterior success criteria indicate the effectiveness measures of the project product, service or
result, after the project completion and handover. This overarching multilevel success framework of projects, programs and portfolios has been developed by Paul
Bannerman in 2008.[70] In other words, a project is said to be successful, when it succeeds in achieving the expected business case which needs to be clearly identified and
defined during the project inception and selection before starting the development phase. This multilevel success framework conforms to the theory of project as a
transformation depicted as the input-process / activity-output-outcome-impact in order to generate whatever value intended. Emanuel Camilleri in 2011 classifies all the
critical success and failure factors into groups and matches each of them with the multilevel success criteria in order to deliver business value.[71]

An example of a performance indicator used in relation to project management is the "backlog of commissioned projects" or "project backlog".[72]

Risk management
The United States Department of Defense states that "Cost, Schedule, Performance, and Risk" are the four elements through which Department of Defense acquisition
professionals make trade-offs and track program status.[73] There are also international standards. Risk management applies proactive identification (see tools) of future
problems and understanding of their consequences allowing predictive decisions about projects. ERM system plays a role in overall risk management.[74]

Work breakdown structure and other breakdown structures

The work breakdown structure (WBS) is a tree structure that shows a subdivision of the activities required to achieve an objective – for example a portfolio, program,
project, and contract. The WBS may be hardware-, product-, service-, or process-oriented (see an example in a NASA reporting structure (2001)).[75] Beside WBS for project
scope management, there are organizational breakdown structure (chart), cost breakdown structure and risk breakdown structure.

A WBS can be developed by starting with the end objective and successively subdividing it into manageable components in terms of size, duration, and responsibility (e.g.,
systems, subsystems, components, tasks, sub-tasks, and work packages), which include all steps necessary to achieve the objective.[33]

The work breakdown structure provides a common framework for the natural development of the overall planning and control of a contract and is the basis for dividing
work into definable increments from which the statement of work can be developed and technical, schedule, cost, and labor hour reporting can be established.[75] The work
breakdown structure can be displayed in two forms, as a table with subdivision of tasks or as an organizational chart whose lowest nodes are referred to as "work packages".

It is an essential element in assessing the quality of a plan, and an initial element used during the planning of the project. For example, a WBS is used when the project is
scheduled, so that the use of work packages can be recorded and tracked.

Similarly to work breakdown structure (WBS), other decomposition techniques and tools are: organization breakdown structure (OBS), product breakdown structure (PBS),
cost breakdown structure (CBS), risk breakdown structure (RBS), and resource breakdown structure (ResBS).[76][61]

International standards
There are several project management standards, including:

The ISO standards ISO 9000, a family of standards for quality management systems, and the ISO 10006:2003, for Quality management systems and guidelines for
quality management in projects.
ISO 21500:2012 – Guidance on project management. This is the first International Standard related to project management published by ISO. Other standards in the
21500 family include 21503:2017 Guidance on programme management; 21504:2015 Guidance on portfolio management; 21505:2017 Guidance on governance;
21506:2018 Vocabulary; 21508:2018 Earned value management in project and programme management; and 21511:2018 Work breakdown structures for project and
programme management.
ISO 21502:2020 Project, programme and portfolio management — Guidance on project management
ISO 21503:2022 Project, programme and portfolio management — Guidance on programme management
ISO 21504:2015 Project, programme and portfolio management – Guidance on portfolio management
ISO 21505:2017 Project, programme and portfolio management - Guidance on governance

Program management and project networks

Some projects, either identical or different, can be managed as program management. Programs are collections of projects that support a common objective and set of goals.
While individual projects have clearly defined and specific scope and timeline, a program's objectives and duration are defined with a lower level of granularity.

Besides programs and portfolios, additional structures that combine their different characteristics are: project networks, mega-projects, or mega-programs.

A project network is a temporary project formed of several different distinct evolving phases, crossing organizational lines. Mega-projects and mega-programs are defined
as exceptional in terms of size, cost, public and political attention, and competencies required.[61]

Project portfolio management

An increasing number of organizations are using what is referred to as project portfolio management (PPM) as a means of selecting the right projects and then using project
management techniques[81] as the means for delivering the outcomes in the form of benefits to the performing public, private or not-for-profit organization.

Portfolios are collections of similar projects. Portfolio management supports efficiencies of scale, increasing success rates, and reducing project risks, by applying similar
standardized techniques to all projects in the portfolio, by a group of project management professionals sharing common tools and knowledge. Organizations often create
project management offices as an organizational structure to support project portfolio management in a structured way.[61] Thus, PPM is usually performed by a dedicated
team of managers organized within an enterprise project management office (PMO), usually based within the organization, and headed by a PMO director or chief project
officer. In cases where strategic initiatives of an organization form the bulk of the PPM, the head of the PPM is sometimes titled as the chief initiative officer.

Project management software

Project management software is software used to help plan, organize, and manage resource pools, develop resource estimates and implement plans. Depending on the
sophistication of the software, functionality may include estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration
software, communication, decision-making, workflow, risk, quality, documentation, and/or administration systems.[82][83]

Virtual project management

Virtual program management (VPM) is management of a project done by a virtual team, though it rarely may refer to a project implementing a virtual environment[84] It is
noted that managing a virtual project is fundamentally different from managing traditional projects,[85] combining concerns of remote work and global collaboration
(culture, time zones, language).[86]
