Role of Project Management
ROLE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
It worth’s to direct this discussion into a imaginary period where basic project management concepts doesn’t exist rather than just expressing the role of project management at the beginning, which would ,at the conclusion of writing may give a clear picture to the reader what I had been trying to convey here.
Actually, implementing a project without project management principles would be a mess. There may not be many practical examples to prove this because all the ongoing projects and the completed ones are done according to the methodologies of project management. Without these methodologies there would be no obvious plan, goals, time or cost limitations to be dealt with. The responsible team would not know where they are going, what are the specifics, who will do what and when. As the result, the project would stop where it began leaving some painful losses for the relative initiators.
So, the role of project management has a massive impact on the success in any project as it drives the whole structure on the right path. Simply, project management can be elaborated as managing four basic elements of a project which are resources, time, money and most importantly the scope. All these elements are interrelated and should be balanced and managed together in order to reach the pinnacle. Being oblivious in one element could cost the whole project to be a loss.
Accurate managing of above mentioned elements describes the role of project management. Identifying the scope of project is the priority here which teaches what and where the limitations are. It is equally important to define what is not included in the scope of project. So the process would not jump off the track at the implementation level. The management should concentrate on the available resources as well and they have to determine human resources, machinery and equipments and money allocated for the specific project and should see whether they can deliver or not with the
