PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Importance of Project Management in Organisation



Importance of Project Management in Organisation (Proposal)

INTRODUCTION

Background

The project management (PM) has been disperse out all over the world and covering a large kind of nations with distinct communal, economical and heritage specificities. The international economic numbers attest of the continual increase of the participation of the PM activity in the global economy.

The practical experiences of PM professionals at work obviously play an important role for the development of PM. As indicated above, there is a shift toward concerns about the people working in projects and about organizational aspects of projects. Behaviorally oriented researchers have entered the PM area studying projects or project-based organizations from various perspectives. Because this movement originated in Scandinavia, it has sometimes been referred to as the “Scandinavian School of Project Studies.” These developments have been particularly strong during the past decade or so and have resulted in specific research conferences in the PM field on a worldwide basis. The International Research Network on Organizing by Projects (IRNOP) has organized such research conferences biannually, and one of the professional organizations, PMI, has also launched a set of research-oriented conferences during the past few years (Hackathorn, 1988, 21). Both of these endeavors have drawn considerable interest also from PM professionals.

However, the divide between practitioners and researchers can still be seen when comparing classical PM literature with the modern organizational theory type of PM literature. The mutual interest of both approaches does seem to promote the development of the field, though, and the differences between the two groups are not always detrimental.

Purpose of the Study

This paper examines the connection between the prescribed organizational rationality of the base association and the way the association's projects address their assignments. We assertion there is a close connection: the tasks of the more rational groundwork association tend to subscribe to a more task-dominated task viewpoint, while the tasks of the less reasonable association subscribe to a more associational viewpoint, which means that the projects are inclined to glimpse their duty more as working to advance the procedures of the groundwork organization. However, the relationship between the organizational rationality and the project perspectives may be moderated by the kinds of tasks dominating the association and the characteristics of the base association itself.

Problem Statement

The management of enterprise-wide information scheme (IS) tasks is increasingly significant to information system managers. Large-scale IS projects such as the deployment of enterprise resource planning (ERP) schemes, the improvement and patching of functioning systems over an association and the installation of enterprise mesh management software have needed managers to evolve task management practices that are successful in a international, integrated and highly circulated computing natural environment.

Objectives of the Study
