  • @ProjectManagementVideos

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hi Jayanti...I am not sure there is a set amount of time to plan a project. I know you stated it is greenfield, but it depends on the scope of responsibilities that the PM has. Sometimes the design work is done, and sometime you are responsible for it. Also, you might have a massive project team and/or infrastructure, which would help expedite the time. Just know that planning and executing can overlap to a certain degree, so you can start to execute even when the whole project is not yet planned. You also need to take sponsor constraints into consideration. If they are in a hurry, then you have to move faster and bring in consultants to speed up the process. I am not sure I can give one answer for duration of planning. You have to start with as much understanding of the project and project management scope to know what planning needs to happen. Hope this helps.

    Do you have any advice on developing a plan in line with another plan? Scenarios being that you are working with a 3rd party (let’s call them a software developer). They have a delivery plan (MS Project) but I need to develop a business readiness plan in tandem. Any advice, links to tutorials would be gratefully received - thank you!

  • @ProjectManagementVideos

    @ProjectManagementVideos

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hi Natalie...When planning, start with your objectives first. Your objectives are essentially the building blocks of a project charter. Although you and the developers are working on the same overall objectives, you each have your own individual objectives. For you, the developer is dependency when it comes to scope and schedule. You can plan your readiness plan with the assumption that certain deliverables will be completed by the developer at certain milestone dates. Your readiness planning is tied to their progress, so this means you will need to collaborate on the collective plan. You will need to schedule more frequent meetings with the developer to get updates and in turn update your plans. Any issues from their end will affect your plans. I can go on like this, but the bottom line is that they are a dependency in your plans and you will be planning around them, and try to influence change in their plans that support your plans. This is similar to managing a program where multiple components are interconnected, and the overall objective of the program will be measured by the benefits we get when all components are in place, rather than outcomes from the individual efforts. You might be managing a program, and programs view plans based on strategy and benefits, and so they are planned differently from projects. Hope this helped a bit.

    Not sure if I understood your question correctly. The resources are the physical human and material resources you will need to get the scope of work completed.

    Could we use project management plans to manage (projects included in strategic plan) for a university? I noticed that universities have strategic plan for the university at all and strategic plans for its units, why? I think it is better to have pmp for each project(of a corporate strategic plan) related to all unites in the university.. hope I illustrate my question.. many thanks 🙏 eng.

  • @ProjectManagementVideos

    @ProjectManagementVideos

    3 жыл бұрын

    If I understand correctly, you are wondering if one project can be done to benefit the university as whole to support strategic plans. Yes. Some projects can be like that. However, when organizations prepare their strategic plans, they come up with goals and objectives, which they pass down to their business units or functional departments, who in turn initiate projects to deliver on these objectives. So, you end up with each unit having its own projects. What the organization needs in this instance is a portfolio manager who looks at all projects underway to map them to the strategic plan and determine how and when they should be initiated. Hope this helps.

  • @ProjectManagementVideos

    @ProjectManagementVideos

    3 жыл бұрын

    Six Sigma is a process or product improvement discipline. It fits under quality and may be used when addressing recurring defects or issues in either the project management process or in making the product of your project. I personally don't always see the connection with projects as I think it applies more during an operational or product improvement project. However, it does fit in projects. Think of something like "Quality of communication or documentation", "quality of estimates". In such cases, it makes sense. On a construction project, what do you do if you constantly have to redo what was just done? Try to figure what's causing the defect or variation? That's Six Sigma... Hope this helps.
