- 2. Agenda The Brief for this Lecture The Background Scenario The State of the Art in Project Management Issues and Concerns in India Case Study – Sarayu Water Project Knowledge – Based PM Systems Design and Analysis Conclusions
- 3. Brief for this Lecture University of Missouri-Rolla to teach a Project Management Course with an International flavor to a group of General Motors students Request from Dr. Benjamin L. Dow, Jr., Assistant Chair for Extended Studies Basic concepts of Project Management, with cultural differences, management nuances, and contract issues highlighted Helpful to have a Case Study to illustrate above concepts Distance education course over the Internet
- 4. Background Scenario Faculty, Dr Parameshwar P Iyer (PPI), has over 20 years of experience in research, teaching, and consulting in PM There has been a rather sluggish growth of PM profession in India: the total number of PM professionals estimated at about 25,000; with less than 5000 PMP Certified Project Managers (Exhibit I, next slide) PPI has provided PM education to over 2500 engineers and managers from industry

- 6. Background Scenario – Approach to this Lecture Will first review the basics of PM One Case Example Project, SYSNET, will be used to illustrate fundamental concepts Will then present some India-specific nuances, cultural aspects, and contract issues relating to practice of PM A larger Case Study, concerning a River Water Project, called Sarayu, will follow Will make a case for the development of Knowledge – Based PM Systems Design and Analysis Techniques
