In this article, we aim to give you some basic information about the concepts of Project and Project Management .
The set of tasks or work to be carried out within a limited period of time to reach a goal is called a 'Project' . The critical point in this definition is the concept of 'a limited period of time' .
At this point, it is worth outlining what projects and operations have in common and how they differ.
What Projects and Operations Have in Common:
• They are activities carried out by resources (people and machines),
• Resources are limited,
• They go through Planning, Execution and Control phases,
Operations : Ongoing activities performed routinely (at regular intervals).
If everything is certain, the work is already an OPERATION. We run a PROJECT because there is uncertainty.
How Do Projects Arise?
Projects usually arise as a result of one or more of the following strategic considerations.
- Market expectations
- Business process requirements
- Customer requests
- Technological developments
- Legal requirements
- Social needs
Project Management (PM: Project Management)
The PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) Guide:
As its name suggests, the PMBOK guide is not a set of project management rules or regulations but a guide that sheds light for project managers on their projects.
PMBOK is a body of knowledge based on what has been accepted as good practice in past projects, defined by volunteers who are veterans of the field and have spent years thinking about and working hard on project management.
Core Approaches in Project Management:
- Predictive (Waterfall)
