Project Management
5
Project management is the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria. A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.[1][2] The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations),[3] which are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services.

Initial Process
Knowledge Areas
Level 1 Risks Associated with IT Projects
Project Integration Management
No established practices, standards, or Project Office. Work performed in ad hoc fashion.
Project Scope Management
General statement of business requirements. Little/no scope management or documentation. Management aware of key milestones only.
Project Time Management
No established planning or scheduling standards. Lack of documentation makes it difficult to achieve repeatable project success.
Project Cost Management
No established practices or standards. Cost process documentation is ad hoc and individual project teams follow informal practices.
Project Quality Management
No established project quality practices or standards. Management is considering how they should define “quality.”
Project Human Resource Management
No repeatable process applied to planning and staffing projects. Project teams are ad hoc. Human resource time and cost is not measured.
Project Communications Management
There is an ad hoc communications process in place whereby projects are expected to provide informal status to management.
Project Risk Management
No established practices or standards in place. Documentation is minimal and results are not shared. Risk response is reactive.
Project Procurement/ Vendor Management
No project procurement process in place. Methods are ad hoc. Contracts managed at a final delivery level.
