The learning and practice process of Project Management though the experts say that project management not an exact science, the exact method, and approach discipline reflects the art of science of any outcome of the project. There are two different types of project management based on approach, one is Social Research Project and the second is Scientific Research Project but, these two different attributes are approaching in one eye of the project management law.
Why Project Management is considered as an important pedestal of the remedy of grievance?
1. It’s a problem
2. It’s a need
3. It’s an opportunity
Based on the above three factors any project management needs a solid explore of Planning, Organizing, Controlling, and Leading, and Motivating. The motive should be re-motive hence not de-motive. The most successful of Project Management is destruction more than the success of construction. While I write my own review of Paul D. Gardiner’s invaluable work of this book, I must mention about the American political scientist Prof. Joseph Nye’s three different types of scholarly views which highly consider for the success of any project management are the distinction between Hard power and Soft power and the notion of the Smart power, the pluralistic culture of hard and soft power into the success of project management.
The noble purpose of the strategic management confessing the learning objectives of the governance of the framework which address the short, medium, and long term sustainable growth of the real outcome that has been constructed with the project quality, integration, risk, time, cost, human resources, communication, and procurement attributes. The study of the research and development (R&D) carries forward the steps of research, conceptual design, feasibility study, development, project design, prototype development, testing, and market research of the product and service of the project. The analysis tools of the traditional project management such as work breakdown structure, critical path method, and earn value techniques are focused on the project life cycle, also can be designed by using modern software applications such as MS-Project, Primavera, Instagantt, Teamgantt, Proofhub, Wrike, Smartsheet, Ganttpro, Easyproject, and Clarizen.
Project limitation recognizes the scope, mission, and purpose of the objective. Critical success factors rule of thumb make progress harder to achieve and may suggest a need to split up a project into multiple within the project based on the leadership style and the pillar models of the environment, communication, personal and interpersonal values, and leadership management. Estimating and scheduling is the arithmetical part of the project management, it determines the forward pass (earliest start time), backward pass (latest finish time) in the project activities. The critical path is the longest network in the project management diagram is also used to help plan and schedule resources for the project. In project management, control is based on a comparison of baseline plans and actual events, and make sure the project control is the project of ensuring that the project delivery integrity. The total aspect of the project management strategy and gain endorsement if the change affects the scope, schedule, budget, deliverables, and expectations of the final product
In the conclusion of my review, the earned value analysis of project control compares the value of actual work completed which requires the project manager to schedule and budget using a time plan and monitor progress against this plan once the project reached the goals in the part of the closure plan. So, the final project evaluation is important to determine the success and failure of the project. And finally, I urge the readers and project management professionals, that this book motivates the readers as a PM laboratory to become an expert in Project Management.
