Overview of the webinar
In the dynamic realm of organizational operations, projects are the engines driving innovation and growth. This webinar is crafted to provide a view of project management, from inception to fruition. It is your gateway to understanding the essence of projects and the structured approach required to manage them effectively.
What is a Project?
Learn the definition of a project. Unlike routine operations, a project has a definite beginning and end, often constrained by time and resources. It's the vehicle that transforms ideas into reality, fueling an organization's progress and competitive edge.
What is Project Management?
Project Management is the art and science of orchestrating the various elements of a project to meet its objectives within the defined scope, time, and cost constraints. It's about leading a team through a structured journey from the project's initiation to its successful closure, ensuring stakeholder satisfaction and value creation.
How Do You Know You Need a Project?
The inception of a project often stems from a recognized need, a problem to solve, or an opportunity to seize. Learn how to recognize when a project is needed and how to get started.
Project Management Lifecycle Overview
The project management lifecycle is a structured framework ensuring a systematic progression through the project phases. It encompasses:
Initiation: The birthplace of the project where its value and feasibility are evaluated.
Planning: A phase where detailed planning regarding scope, timelines, costs, quality, communication, risk, and resource management takes place.
Execution: The action realm where the project work is performed to deliver the required outcomes.
Monitoring and Controlling: A continuous process ensuring the project stays on track, adjusting the sails as necessary to mitigate risks and address issues.
Closing: The phase where the project is finalized, ensuring all work is completed satisfactorily and objectives are met.
Project Management and AI
In the modern era, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has intertwined with project management, offering tools and insights that significantly enhance decision-making and efficiency. We’ll talk briefly about tools that could help the new project manager.
