Project Management

Introduction

The assignment is associated to team project of our group concentrated on strategic management directed in the company Xxx- publisher of newspapers. The company is investigated in minutia on all levels-corporate, SBU (strategic business units) and functional. This investigation is presented on 26 exact tasks. Our group comprises of 28 students. This very requiring and convoluted work was thus to be coordinated on the project bases. This work is oriented not on the strategic management in the company Xxx but on the project behind it. We would like to recount here how was our work coordinated and what was the methodology we have used.

 

Assignment Goals

As we have currently cited the goals are not oriented on any investigation or strategy suggestions in the company Xxx but on the method which should lead to thriving strategic management investigation and suggestions in this company. Our supreme goal is thus the achievement of the entire group.

We will although be more exact in sub goals and by characterising them to be adept to use the correct methodology.

Sub goals:

1.  Definition of goals to group members

2.  Definition of jobs to group members

3.  Definition of timing and deadlines

4.  Definition or risk and devices assisting to eradicate them

5.  Preparation of templates (assignments, presentations)

6.  Preparation of connection space (downloads of documents)

7.  Description of the methodology(Witzel 2003)

We will mention here what were not our tasks.

Our task was not evaluation of the value of one-by-one assignments of group members. Also our task was not orthodox unconditional "pushy" set about to group constituents for thriving task completion; our task was oriented more for conceiving good natural environment where those who can will be adept to entire their work.

 

Applied Theory

PMI, with more than 150,000 constituents in over 150 nations, is the world's foremost support for the project management profession. PMI groups commerce measures, conducts study and presents learning, certification and expert exchange possibilities conceived to reinforce and farther set up the occupation. Te best practices are recounted in the article called Project Management Body of Knowledge (David 2006).

 

 

Project Phases

        Because projects are exclusive undertakings, they engage a stage of uncertainty. Organizations accomplishing projects generally split up each project into some project stages to advance management control. A project stage is the time span in which an facet of a project is conveyed out. The project stages are renowned as the project life cycle. The project life circuits usually characterise what work should be carried out and who should be engaged in each phase. Certain project stakeholder functions have larger influence throughout exact stage of the life cycle. (Stevens 2002)

 

Project Processes

Projects are created of processes. Project management methods recount, coordinate, and entire the work of the project. The methods split up into the five groups (see number X) that are applicable to most projects; most of the time are recounted ...
