- 4. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY PMBOK , 5th Edition ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I What is a Project? A Project can be defined as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, result or service. Major Characteristics of a Project: • Has an established objective • Are Unique • Are temporary in nature and have a defined life span with a beginning and an end • Requires across – the – organizational participation • Are completed when the project goals are achieved or it’s determined the project is no longer viable. • Involves doing something never been done before • Has specific time, cost and performance requirements
- 5. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY PMBOK , 5th Edition ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Project Vs Operations? An operation is different from a project in the following way: • It does not create a unique product, service or a result. • It does not have a definite beginning and an end.
- 6. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Who is a Project Stakeholder?

These stakeholders may be inside or outside an organization which: • Sponsor a project • Have an interest or a gain upon a successful completion of a project • May have a positive or negative influence in project completion PMBOK 5th Edition

- 10. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Project Management from 50,000 Feet level Projects typically have identifiable phases and each phase and each phase has a set of unique challenges for the project manage. If we view a project from the highest level, five basic project phases can be identified: • Initiating, • Planning, • Executing, • Monitoring and Controlling, and • Closing.
- 11. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Phase 1: Initiation • During this phase, the need is identified. • An appropriate response to the need is determined and described. (This is actually where the project begins!) • The major deliverables and the participating work groups are identified. • The team begins to take shape. • Issues of feasibility (Can we do the project?) and justification (Should we do the project?) are addressed.
- 12. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Phase 2: Planning • During this phase, project solution is developed in as much detail as possible. • Intermediate work products are identified, along with the strategy of producing them. • Estimates are made regarding the amount of time and money needed to perform the work and when the work is to be done. • The question of feasibility and justification surfaces again, as formal approval to proceed with the project is ordinarily sought before proceeding.
- 13. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Phase 3: Execution • During this phase, the prescribed work is performed under the watchful eye of the project manager. • Throughout this phase, the project team remains focused on meeting the objectives developed and agreed upon at the outset of the project.
- 14. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Phase 4: Monitoring and Controlling • During this phase, progress is continuously monitored and appropriate adjustments are made and recorded as variances from the original plan. • The objective of this phase is to track, review and regulate the progress and performance of the project; identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required; and initiate the corresponding changes.
- 15. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Phase 5: Closing • During this phase, the emphasis is on verifying that the project has satisfied or will satisfy the original need. • The project customer accepts and uses the deliverables. • Throughout this phase, the project resources are gradually re – deployed and the project finally shuts down.
- 16. ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I Project Management from 50,000 Feet (Cont…) Managing a project typically includes, but is not limited to: • Identifying requirements; • Addressing the various needs, concerns, and expectations of the stakeholders in planning and executing the project; • Setting up, maintaining, and carrying out communications among stakeholders that are active, effective, and collaborative in nature; • Managing stakeholders towards meeting project requirements and creating project deliverables; • Balancing the competing project constraints, which include, but are not limited to: – Scope, – Quality, – Schedule, – Budget, – Resources, and – Risks.

ATEC ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ATEC 4370 Project Management for Arts & Technology - I • 1958: The Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) Invented for the U.S. Navy's Polaris Project - The United States Department of Defense's US Navy Special Projects Office developed PERT as part of the Polaris mobile submarine-launched ballistic missile project during the cold war. PERT is a method for analyzing the tasks involved in completing a project, especially the time needed to complete each task and identifying the minimum time needed to complete the total project. • 1962: United States Department of Defense Mandate the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Approach - The United States Department of Defense (DOD) created the WBS concept as part of the Polaris mobile submarine-launched ballistic missile project. WBS is an exhaustive, hierarchical tree structure of deliverables and tasks that need to be performed to complete a project. Later adopted by the private sector, the WBS remains one of the most common and useful project management tools. Project Management History and Timeline…
