prince2 Project Management in action

 Project management is the art of managing human and material resources to create a desirable organizational environment. Projects must be well-defined, simple, controllable, and capable of producing a specific outcome. The actions performed to produce results must be measurable, objective, and timely. Project management requires a set of competencies, which are determined by the manager.  Within these competencies are techniques to plan, present, assess and control project activities. Within the planning must be specific and attainable Departmental and Single Department center plans, the translation of current Departmental, Project, and Functional plans stretching over five contracts, and the preparation of a Work Breakdown structure for the organization with a Departmental Primary Business Process Controls (WBS). As on a PRINCE2 Certification Birmingham course.

Project Directors must have the same set of competencies. Project Directors are responsible for the good performance of their program. They assign responsibility for the cost/benefit carrying and managing program to resource allocation, reports and communications.

This program deals with planning and scheduling and monitoring the work effort and results of the execution of the process across five contracts, including source capabilities, end user plans required, recommendations for improvement of program, review of program management plan, and closeout.

Although a Project Management Team is the best method of making a certain result, it requires a credited parent outside the management team. This credits parent is the overall project manager responsible for the overall program.

Here are the five concepts used to build a Praise and Recognition program:

1. Maintaining focus

The Praise and Recognition program must be focused, providing the company with a project that answers a key need of its customers. Focus takes the project inward, preserving its long-range objectives. The project manager’s best place within the management structure is his/her area of responsibility.

2. Utilizing Key Resources

An effective Praise and Recognition practice requires a team of developers. Most projects in the Management team spend most of time performing narrow activities like technical solution implementation, project readiness, hardware selection, knowledge64 implementation, or certain task.  Of these, selecting the approval criteria, writing the proposal, and drafting a statement of work are the same, essentially the same activity. An effective Praise and Recognition practice requires that the team perform in most of tasks unusual, produce a work characteristics that fulfills its demands, gather its resources, work product (work plan) is effectively communicated throughout and the team will meet its goal. This team will assist the management in decision making, provide rapid answers to problems, work product definition, and provide a standard for the other projects in the same management team.

Skill assessments, Be sure they have the necessary skills, and generally ensure they will execute under the realities on the project. The benefits you can obtain from a positive team environment, and the morale gained all by your own morale.

4. Resource Utilization

Resource requirements must tell you what you need, and where you might be able to use resources effectively. Do not rely on a team and its project managers alone to use the capabilities that each member of the team reveals. The information you receive may be accurate, but you may not know what your team members can do, what each of them understand about the problems. By supplying a team with a List of Individuals (not confidential) along with a collection of Skills and Knowledge Management (overlying) which they can then prioritize the project requirements are optimal.

5. Paul’s Training

Each individual that the company has assigned to the practice must have an opportunity to learn – in their on time, under supervision, and budget environment. If everyone is on the same page, you will not only find better results, but you will gain more confidence and develop a good working relationship with a contractor. The consistent approach to both team and individual projects will reveal strong skills and more steps.

6. Training Program

Implement a training program, select the trainees carefully, and follow through with your plan.
