Chap 1:

What is a project
• A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result
(Project Management Institute 2008)

– Temporary nature of projects indicates a definite beginning and end

– Temporary does not generally apply to the product, service or result created by the
project

• Every project creates a unique product, service, or result

• A project can create:

– A product that can be either a component of another item or an end item in itself

– A capacity to perform a service (e.g., a business function that supports production or

– A result such as an outcome or document (e.g., research project that develops

• Examples of projects include, but are not limited to:

– Developing a new product or service

– Effecting a change in the structure, staffing, or style of an organization,

– Developing or acquiring a new or modified information system

– Constructing a building or infrastructure, or

– Implementing a new business process or procedure

Example of a project to innovate the primary school curriculum. We will include information in the
project such as:

Human resources: Including the Ministry of Education, teachers, and students.

Executive Board: Including the Ministry of Education and Teachers.

Description: Includes detailed drafts of new learning programs, sample books, and pilot teaching videos.

Implementation time: From month … year … to month … year …

Estimated budget: Several hundred million or several billion VND.

What is project management

• Project management processes comprising the 5 process groups

– Initiating

– Planning

– Executing

– Monitoring and controlling, and

– Closing

• Managing a project typically includes:

– Identifying requirement

– Addressing the various needs, concerns, and expectations of the stakeholders as the
project is planned and carried out

– Balancing the competing project constraints including but not limited to

• Scope

• Quality

• Schedule

• Budget

• Resources, and risk

• Example

– Shortened schedule  often requires increasing in budget to add additional resources

– No budget added  scope or quality may be reduced to deliver a product in less time
for the same budget

Project management - turnkey model: That is, the investor will assign the project to one or more
contractors working together to carry out all the work of the project. Once completed, it will be handed
over to investors for them to exploit and use.

The feasibility study asks questions about the feasibility of the project. Questions such as “can we do the
project? Do we have the resources to do it?“.

Once these analyzes have been carried out and the project is considered feasible and necessary, this is
officially started and, in case it has not already been identified, a project manager is appointed.

The project team is then identified and involved, thus starting to take shape.

2.

The individual tasks of the project are then identified, as well as the requirements that the resources
must have and the strategy to follow.

The project manager coordinates the preparation of a project budget by providing cost estimates for
labor, equipment and materials, if needed.

The budget is used to monitor and control the expenses incurred during the entire project phase.
It comes then the right time to identify and address any factor that may pose a threat to the success of
the project. This part is called risk management.

This is also a good time to identify all stakeholders and establish a communication plan that sets out the
information needed to keep all the parties involved in the project informed.

3.

Whatever project it is, a project manager usually spends most of the time at this stage.

During the execution of the project, people perform their tasks and progress information is exchanged
through regular team meetings, so-called progress status meetings .

The project manager uses this information to maintain control over the project direction by comparing
progress reports with the project plan, to measure the performance of activities and take corrective
actions if necessary.

During this step, project sponsors and all other stakeholders should be regularly informed about the
progress of the work.

Once the results of the various steps have been produced and the client has accepted the final solution,
the project is ready for closure.

4.

The last remaining step is to conduct an analysis of what went well and what did not.

In reality, it isn’t only important to conclude a project successfully, but also to be able to execute it in
the way that was set in the original project plan.

The closure phase also serves to analyze this, in order to avoid making the same mistakes in the future
and not adequately assessing certain risks.
