Tasks can be new to a project team
Projects are undertaken at all organizational levels
Projects can involve a single person, organizational unit or multiple organizational units.
Attributes of a Project

Composed of a series of interdependent tasks
Utilizes various resources
Has a specific time frame
Is a unique or one-time endeavor
Has a customer
Involves a degree of uncertainty
Examples of Projects
Developing a new product or service
Environmental clean-up of a contaminated site

Project Life Cycle
A collection of generally sequential and sometimes overlapping project phases
Operations generate projects.
Requires Management prioritization for resources
Projects are “born” when a need is identified by the customer
Project life cycles vary in length, from a few weeks to several years
Not all projects formally go through all four phases of the project life cycle
Phases of the Project LifeCycle
 Identify Need - RFP or project scope and its justification
 Propose Solution - Contract or Project Plan
 Perform Project - Resource utilization, contract administration
 Terminate Project - Clos-out, Performance Evaluation, Contract close-out
Project Management Processes
1 Initiating- Define project, obtain authorization
2 Planning - Establish Scope, define action
3 Executing -complete work to satisfy spec
4 Monitor, Control -manage changes
5 Closing -finalize activity
