9. T TRANSFORMING ORGANISATIONS FOR PERFORMANCE

10. Project Management is planning, organizing, directing and controlling company resources, for a relatively short term objective that has been established to complete specific goals and objective. Furthermore, project management utilizes systems approach to management by having functional personnel (vertical) assigned to a specific project (horizontal)

11. Project Management involves Project Planning – define work requirement – define quality of work – define resources needed Project Monitoring – tracking progress – comparing actuals to predicted – analyzing impact – making adjustment

12. Obstacles in Project Management – Project complexity – Customer’s special requirement – Organizational restructuring _ Organisational constraints – Project risks – Changes in technology – Forward planning _ Forward pricing

13. Potential benefits …… – identification of functional responsibilities to ensure that all activities are accounted for, regardless of personnel turnover – minimizing need for continuous reporting – identification of time limits for scheduling – identification of methodology for trade off analysis

14. Potential benefits – measurement of accomplishment against plans – early identification of problems so that corrections can follow – improved estimation capability for future planning – knowing when objectives cannot be met or will be exceeded

25. Life Cycle Phases

26. Product life cycle Project life cycle

27. Product life cycle Research and development Market introduction Growth Maturity Deterioration Death

28. Project life cycle Conceptual Definition Production Operational Divestment

29. Conceptual phase…. Determine existing needs or Potential deficiencies of existing systems Establish system concepts Determine initial technical feasibility, Determine environmental feasibility, Determine economic feasibility

30. Conceptual phase…. Determine predictability of the system Examine ways of accomplishing objectives Provide the initial answers to What will the system cost When will the system be available What will the system do How will the system be integrated

31. Conceptual phase Identify human/non-human resources required Select initial system designs Determine initial system interfaces Establish system organisation

32. Definition phase…. Identify resources required firmly Prepare final system performance Prepare detailed plans required Determine realistic cost and schedule Determine performance requirements

33. Definition phase Identify of high risk and uncertainty areas Plans for further exploration of these areas Define of inter/intra system interfaces Determine necessary support subsystems Identify documents required to support Prepare such documents required

34. Production phase…. Update plans conceived / defined Identify and manage resources required Verify system production specifications Produce, construct and install

35. Production phase Prepare and disseminate policy documents procedural documents Perform final testing to determine adequacy Develop technical manuals / documentation Develop plans to support the system

36. Operational phase Use of results by the user customer Integrate product /service into existing system Evaluate technical / social sufficiency Evaluate economic sufficiency Provide feedback to organizational planners Evaluate adequacy of supporting system

37. Divestment phase... System phase down Develop plan transfer to support organization Divest transfer of resources to other systems Develop lessons learned from system Include lessons in qualitative- quantitative data base

38. Divestment phase... Assess image of the customer Major problems encountered How they were solved Technological advances Knowledge advances Vs strategic objectives

39. Divestment phase Improved management techniques Recommend research and development Recommend future programmes Other major lessons learned

40. Systems Thinking…. Input data to mental process Analyse data Predict outcome Evaluate outcomes

41. Systems Thinking Compare alternatives Choose the best alternative Take action Measure results Compare with predictions
