FUNDAMENTAL METHODS AND STEPS FOR CONDUCTING PROJECT EVALUATION

The Originator makes a copy of the design documents and applies the check print stamp (Checked Exhibit) for all persons involved in the checking process to sign- off. The stamp also includes the design package/submittal number and date, check print number, and signature of the Originator of the document with the date. If all the individuals involved in the checking process will have consistent roles on the entire package to be checked, a cover sheet may be added to the package. A single check print stamp is applied to the cover sheet, instead of each individual sheet in the...

HANDBOOK FOR PROJECTS: DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT AND FUNDRAISING

The Backchecker (usually the Originator of the document, but may be another designated designer other than the Checker) reviews the Checker corrections and comments (red and blue/pencil marks). If the Backchecker agrees with the comments, he places a green check next to the red. If the Backchecker does not agree with the comments and then explains to the Checker a valid reason why the original item is correct, the Backchecker then writes the word “stet” in green adjacent to the red marks to indicate that the red is no longer valid and that the Checker has withdrawn his...

Project Risk Management Guidance for WSDOT Projects

Form DQA (Design Quality Audit Checklist) is used to perform, record, and certify the audit. A non-conformance with the quality process results in the documents being returned to the Originator to bring the package into compliance. If the audit finds all documents in conformance, the DQAM completes and signs Form DQA to document and certify that the QMP requirements have been followed. At the appropriate time, the DQAM also uses Form DQA to certify that the design package is approved for RFC (Refer to section 4.7 RFC Procedure). The DQAM shall conduct audits with care, but in a diligent...

Quantitative Risk Analysis for Project Management A Critical Review

The goal of this book is to provide a step-by-step guideline for managing projects in general, and managing distance education projects in particular. It is directed at two audiences, namely, practitioners who find themselves having to run numerous projects, both big and small, on a day-to-day basis, and open and distance learning practitioners who are team members of projects within their institutions. The writers are also hopeful that the book will be useful to aspiring professionals whose wish is to undertake specific projects. The principles and theories about project management they come across, will go a long way in...

PLANNING THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT WAY: EFFICIENT PLANNING BY EFFECTIVE INTEGRATION OF CAUSAL AND RESOURCE REASONING IN REALPLAN

More importantly, the handbook is meant to be practical, and usable at various levels of distance education systems. What immediately comes to mind is the Virtual University of the Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC). The VUSSC is a developing and vibrant institution, and the present volume serves as a contribution to the commonwealth of knowledge that the VUSSC epitomises. Readers are urged to consult other readings to augment their insights. This will result in a considerable depth and sophistication in the use of project management skills and techniques. Since the book provides only a short guideline, and...

Project Perspectives The annual publication of International Project Management Association 2012

It is a pleasure to welcome you to this fascinating course: Successful Project Management. We believe that everyone engages in a project of one type or another, but not all of us take time to get information about best ways to manage the project before it begins. The aim of this training course is, therefore, to help you open up new horizons so that you can harness your full potential in managing a personal project or that of the organisation you work for. Although focus is on distance education (DE) project management, there are generic principles that apply to...

The annual publication of International Project Management Association 2013

Successful Project Management in Open and Distance Learning is a harvest of lived experience in project management. Its primary objective is to sensitise those whose professional commitment is the purveyance of open and distance learning products and services. On the platform of knowledge and how such knowledge is globalised, DE has emerged with vigour to defy the erstwhile stigma that it plays second fiddle to what has been termed conventional education. Evidence of successes in DE abound, but for that to happen it is not a question of approaching it in a hit or miss fashion. The present volume...

THE REPORT OF THE CONSTRUCTION TASK FORCE

Bearing the foregoing in mind, lived experiences have been carefully selected and synchronised with generic ideas and principles of project management. By starting with the evolution of project management, the objective was to locate the discipline in its historical context, thus creating awareness to the project manager that he/she will be practising within a community of professionals. This is followed by the definition of the concept of project, which concomitantly elucidates related terms to which the project manager will find recourse from time-to-time. Before migrating to Chapter 3, a brief panorama of areas associated with project management...

Request for Proposal For Selection of Project Management Unit (PMU) For Pension and Life Insurance Fund

The project baseline, which is the focus of Chapter 7, arguably falls into place when planning is complete and the team members have agreed all the scheduled dates. At this juncture, values are stored, and these include the agreed tasks; the scheduled start and finish dates for the tasks; team members who will be responsible for scheduled tasks; and the budgeted cost. All that is done cognisant of performance, cost, time and scope (PCTS) of the project. On grounds that first things will have been given their priority, Chapter 8 deals with yet another very important aspect, namely, project control...

Risk management in the procurement of innovation - Concepts and empirical evidence in the European Union

If you obtained one of your qualifications through distance education study, you will have noticed that at the beginning of a given study module there is the heading: Course Team. Under it are listed course writers, content editors, language editors, graphic designers, programme coordinator, chief editor, course coordinator, etc. Does this not strike you that all these professionals make a contribution to a single lesson? It really should because when you compare the lesson by a lecturer in the conventional classroom, the lecturer prepares the lesson without necessarily consulting any of those people listed in the DE material. What is...

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN GUIDEBOOK PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

To come up with a quality product and service, somebody has to oversee or supervise the project. This applies to any project in any field of human endeavour other than projects in distance education. It can then be underscored that unlike the conventional face-to-face classroom situation, DE practitioners have to bear in mind that the management of projects, in the various sections, drives a given DE institution. This is what makes working in a DE environment exciting and distinguishable from other pedagogic and andragogic circumstances. What is more, some of the projects in DE are not just confined...

First Meeting of the for the Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project

‘Project Management’ is an important topic because all organisations, large and small, are involved in implementing new undertakings as diverse as the development of a new product or service, or a public relations campaign. To keep ahead of their competitors, every organisation is faced with development of complex services and processes. These need cross-functional expertise in a given organisation. The justification for undertaking project management in any organisation lies at two levels, namely, the macro and the micro levels. On the macro or broader level, an organisation is motivated to implement project management techniques to ensure that what is...

Module 2.4: Project Management

Lewis (2002:xi) has argued that although management of projects has been going on for thousands of years, the practice has been widely recognized as a discipline in its own right for only about ten years. A very short history indeed! Azzopardi (2009) confirms this view as discussed presently. Azzopardi argues that project management has been practised for thousands of years, dating back to the Egyptian epoch, but it was in the mid 1950s that the organisations commenced formal project management tools. The origins of project management are traced in two different problems of planning and control in projects...

IMPLEMENTING SAP R/3 IN 21st CENTURY: METHODOLOGY AND CASE STUDIES

The project was characterised by high uncertainty, since neither cost nor time could be accurately estimated. Times of completion were based on probabilities: optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely. This led to what has come to be known as the programme evaluation review technique (PERT). Later a new methodology known as project planning and scheduling (PPS) was introduced in the private sector. PPS required realistic estimates of cost and time, and was considered more definitive than PERT. The use of project management techniques was facilitated with the advent of the personal computer, and associated with low cost project management software....

Technical and Regulatory Guidance for the Triad Approach: A New Paradigm for Environmental Project Management

This was the period of significant technology advancement such as the first automatic plain-paper copier by Xerox in 1959, and the rapid development of computer technology. Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft. This facilitated the emergence of several project management software companies including Oracle in 1977. An example of a project undertaken during this phase is the Apollo project initiated in 1960 with the objective of sending man to the moon.

System dynamics applied to project management: a survey, assessment, and directions for future research

This era is characterised by a revolution in the development in the information management sector with the introduction of the personal computer (PC) and associated computer communications networking facilities. The result was availability of low cost PCs that had high efficiency in the management of project schedules. An example of major projects undertaken then (for there were several) is the Space Shuttle Challenger project of 1983 – 1986. The projects of the time focused on risk management, group dynamics, and quality management. ...

Teamwork and Project Management - McGraw-Hill’s BEST Series Basic Engineering Series and Tools

In the beginning, the word ‘Project’ was associated primarily with engineering, in particular with developments at the forefront of technology. The next place it cropped up was in Information Technology where Software Programming required sophisticated project methodology. Today, though, a project mentality is essential in our topsy turvey world of the new millennium. The organisations that will remain healthy are the ones that have an effective and widely understood approach to managing projects as a way of implementing change. ...

HOW SOFTWARE PROJECT RISK AFFECTS PROJECT PERFOR MANCE: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DIMENSIONS OF RISK AND AN EXPLORATORY MODEL

In the military, you cannot fight a battle without ammunition, guns, food and transport. This is an aspect of logistics. Similarly, you cannot run a project without certain requirements, e.g. you cannot develop a curriculum without a budget, subject experts, students to benefit from the curriculum, and so forth. Project Risks Project risks are the anticipated and unanticipated obstacles that might arise in the course of a given project. A risk analysis is conducted in order to isolate the most likely ones, and involves answering the question: “What could go wrong?” ...

Free Software Project Management HOWTO

There are several other terms that we will be referring to during discussion, but for now these will suffice. In distance education, for example, there are management issues, there are matters concerning the support of learners, identification and development of courses and programmes. There are also issues of quality assurance of programmes as well as issues of either adapting or adopting programmes offered by one institution. This involves contextualisation and broader consultation. Added to that, there are communication and technology issues as well. It will be noted that there are gaps, or deficiencies in these areas. Depending on which aspect...

Security Considerations in the System Development Life Cycle

To borrow a leaf from the Malawi Centre for Distance and Continuing Education, here are some areas they identified as having potential for both macro and micro projects in a DE set up. At their planning meeting (June 2006), they classified these areas into three categories, namely, projects to do with DE management and administration, programmes development, and learner support. Space has been left for you to add any areas you think forms part of each category, but has not been mentioned. ...

SUCCESSFUL PROJECT MANAGEMENT - Insights from Distance Education practices

Projects in the area of Information Technology (IT) can also be added to the three categories cited above. When you compare these project areas with what happens in a conventional education organisation, it will be clear that DE organisations tend to be different in the sense that they are project driven. Now, let’s set another milestone. Let us suppose you work for the Swaziland Emlalatini Centre for Distance Education, the Lesotho Distance Teaching Centre, the Tanzania Institute of Adult Education, or any institution in SADC, respond to this task. Briefly, summarise the project you are involved in or...

Managing Multilateral Projects in the Lifelong Learning Programme

Bear these in mind as you go through the training. We now turn to the definition of a project. The shortest definition of a project is one given by Juran (cited in Lewis, 2002:2). He defines it as a problem scheduled for solution. Lewis (2002) himself defines a project as: A multi-task that has performance, cost, time, and scope requirements and is done only one time. That means a project has specific performance requirements that have to be met (performance); a budget (cost); a definite starting and ending points (time); and clearly defined range of work to be done...
