Project Management Methodology Body of Knowledge

Question: Explain and justify itself within the context of the case study using the course and peer reviewed material. You are encouraged to review Kerzner Chapter 21 and the PMI Managing Change in Organizations for an indication of the context and content of your plan. You will be graded upon how well your continuous improvement plan has been completed and how well you argue that it reflects the requirements of the organisation in the case study that you select. Answer: Introduction The project management is significant section of the management and it plays vital role in accomplishing the objective and goals of the project. Therefore, project is mainly a short term endeavour of the company, which provide measurable advantages to the companies that has taken the project. The project helps in exploring new product or services (A guide to the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK guide), 2004). Effective project management help in completion the project in required time schedule as well as in the predefined budget of the project. It is evident that the maxim um number of project fails to accomplish its desired goals and objectives because of futile planning, inefficient scheduling, ineffective estimating, futile cost control and unsteady objectives. Here project management helps in effective as well as systematic planning of entire resources as well as the time schedule of the project become more efficient and practical so that the project can be completed w ithin the predefined time period as well as the schedule budget so that from the project the company which undertake the project can achieve desirable profit from the project (Campbell, 2010). Continuous improvement is one of the important aspects of the project management with the help of effective project management methodology a company can accomplish contentious improvement throughout the project. Main body The project management practice and project management procedures and practices are advancing in constant way because the cost and scope of the vital projects are consistently improving. The industries accept the project management and change in the project management practices that have taken place at the astonishing rate. All the organizations desire the excellence in the project management (Collins, 2011). The strategic planning for the project management is often performed at the middle management level. The management supports the role and gives fund together with the employees release time for efforts. The organizations performs the strategic planning for the new goods and services with the implementation of well out plans and executing plans. The foundation to achieve the excellence in the project management is described as maturity model of the project management that is comprised of around five levels. Thus, the five levels are the common processes, common language, benchmar king singular methodology, and continuous improvement. The companies mature in the project management are having the tendency to manage the multiple projects (Heagney, 2012). Therefore, initial momentum may come from sponsoring of the project or from the project managers. However, there are different factors that support the management of the multiple projects and cost to maintain all the projects. The risk and magnitude of projects state whether part time or full time assignments are essential. However, assigning the project manager on the activities requires over management cost. The mangers are sharing the accountability with the project managers for the successful completion of the projects (Heerkens, 2002). The project managers manage all the levels of WBS with managers accepting the accountability for the work packages at levels of WBS. The project managers spends time integrating the work rather than scheduling and planning the functional activities. Thus the senior managemen t provides quality training to their project managers and enhancing the benefits of multiple projects. The project managers are becoming business oriented as well as technical oriented and they are expected to present their information on the business risks. The capacity planning will help to plan, determine and evaluate the project as well as implementation of resources in the project (Hyvri, 2006). The documentation in an appropriate way will accelerate the maturity process of the project management and supporting all the levels of the management and improving the communication in the project. The project management procedures, guidelines, policies and forms can provide the tools to delineate the process and the format for processing, communicating and gathering the data in the project in an orderly way and standardized format (Lester and Lester, 2007). Therefore, it requires the participation of project team which includes support departments, top management and subcontractors. The procedural document helps to: Provide uniformity and guidelines Communicate information effectively and clearly Standardize formats of data Providing basis for the analysis Ensuring agreements of the document for the future reference Minimize paperwork Refuel commitments Minimize confusion and conflicts Building experience method and track for future projects The main purpose of the project management system is to increase possibility that the company would have continuous stream to manage the project. The project methodologies are designed to support the culture of the organization. The organizations become excellence in the project management and the benefits is better performance and less work (Mascia, 2014). The horizon planning indicates that the time point for the capacity planning. It indicates that the employees are needed to approve the internal projects for all the work that is expected through the competitive bidding. Therefore, the project management determines the objectives of the plans and critical path of the project. The organization would replace the description of the job with the competency models (Maylor, 2010). The description of the job for the project management tends to emphasize the expectations and deliverables from the project manager. The project manager expects to have the competencies in the following three areas: Technical/scientific skills Leadership skills Process skills The main advantage of the competency model is allows training department in order to develop a customized the training programs in the project management to satisfy the requirements. The competency model helps to focus on the specialized skills to help the project manager to make more efficient and effective use of the time (Mehta, 2007). The organizations would find and impalement necessary strategies in order to maintain specialist architecture on their staff. The project manager is responsible to determine and evaluate risk as well as implementing appropriate strategies for the success of the project. The allocation of resources, providing training to the staff members and aim to complete the projects is the main duty of the project manager. Four phases in the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle The four phases of the PDCA cycle represents the plan, do, check and the art cycle that helps in the changing and the continuation of the process of the project management. It also helps in the provision of the details of the statistical policy control that are requisite for the creation of the product that helps in the proper creation of the approach for gaining the relevant changes that helps in the proper construction of the project management system in the organisation (Milosevic , 2003). Thus for the proper enhancement of the quality management in the organisation, the following steps helps to gain the systematic changes in the environment and thus it also helps in the construction of the cycles that involves are as follows:- Plan : The plan is the initial step for the brining the quality management in the project management and thus it also helps in the initialization of the identification system that are useful for the proper analyzing of the problems that creates the barrier for the quality management in the system of the project management. Do: The Do dents the development and the assessment of the potential solutions that are required for the creation of the growth and thus it also helps in the analysing the potential barrier assessments for the proper creation of the potential solutions for the quality management in the project management system. Check: The measuring of the effective data helps in showing the proper process that helps in the creation of the potential data that are required for the enhancement of the solutions that helps in providing the potential path for the development. Thus it also helps in enhancing the models that provides the initial step for the application of the selected problems. Action: - The actions indicate the implementation of the extracted solutions through th process of checking and thus it also helps in the proper platform for the implementation of the action in the organisation. Thus it also helps in the development of the strategies and thus it also helps in the enhancement of the strategies and thus it also helps creation of the proper plat form for the implementation of the services. And thus it also and thus it also helps in the improvement also helps in the development of the proper process for the creation of the project. Thus it fruitfully helps in the proper project management process for the successful completion of the project. The above PDCA model is used for the process of carrying out the tender process with the proper enhancement of the risks and the allocation of the resources. It also helps in the providing the internal audit services with the proper mitigation of the risks and thus it also helps in detecting the risks in the management meeting of the department for successfully carrying out the internal audit meetings. The uses of the PDCA is generally extended throughout the common phases that helps in the determining the business process improvement that is commonly seen in the business process, quality management, performance management and the process improvement with the creation of the competitive nature in the organisation (Mir and Pinnington, 2014). The flow diagram of the PDCA also helps in the improvement of the service changes in the delivery of the products and the services and thus it also helps in the creation of the proper management of the system. Thus it also helps in the proper changes in the management of the services. It also helps in the proper enhancement of the quality management tools that are crucial for bringing the changes in the environment of the business of the organisation. The PDCA methodology also helps in the creation of the continuous loop that helps in the proper creation of the services that are required for the development of the services and thus it provides an ideal model for solving the problems. It thus also helps in the creation of the continuous improvement that helps in the process improvement of the cycles (Olivero, 2014). It also includes the implementation of the new projects or the implementation plans that are required for the creation of the implementation program for the development of the inbuilt plan and also helps in the creation of the process implementation. Illustration or drawing of your continuous improvement plan of project management For the purpose of the continuation of the proper project management in an organisation there are certain implementation steps which need to be focused for the proper development of the infrastructure of an organisation (Patel, 2008). Thus, the proper project management that is used in the system helps in the proper continuation of the steps that are as follows:- Infrastructure should be maintained with conducting the proper plans for the development of the system with providing the facility to cope up with the location of the plans. Management issues are resolved with the help of the proper continuation of the process of the project management which also helps in the proper implementation of the project management with the successful implementation of the quality of the budget level (Project manager competency development (PMCD) framework, 2007). proper maintenance and the improvement of the personal skills takes place which helps in strengthening the key points and also helps in the creation of a suitable environment in the system and thus it also helps in the development of the systems. The software packages implementation also helps in the proper formation of the organisation of the system sharing and the communication build-ups with the advancement of the technological development. The hardware process is used for the categorising the product category and thus it also helps in the proper improvement of the systems and also the products can be properly categorised by the implementation of the hardware process. Conclusion: This project management report is related to the development of the strategies that are required for the development of the project and thus it also helps in the enhancement of the structures of the organisation. It shows the enhancement of the peer reviewed journals that are given for the proper enhancement of the project. Thus it shows the PDAC plan for the purpose of the improvement process and it also shows the improvement plan with the illustration and the diagram of the improvement plan.
