Barangay Management Information System
More specifically, what is a project? Itââ¬â¢s a temporary group activity designed to produce a unique product, service or result. A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal.So a project team often includes people who donââ¬â¢t usually work together ââ¬â sometimes from different organizations and across multiple geographies. The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market ââ¬â all are projects. And all must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need. Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projec ts effectively and efficiently.Itââ¬â¢s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals ââ¬â and thus, better compete in their markets. It has always been practiced informally, but began to emerge as a distinct profession in the mid-20th century. PMIââ¬â¢s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOKà ® Guide) identifies its recurring elements: Project management processes fall into five groups:InitiatingPlanningExecutingMonitoring and ControllingClosingProject management knowledge draws on nine areas:IntegrationScopeTimeCostQualityProcurementHuman resourcesCommunicationsRisk managementAll management is concerned with these, of course. But project management brings a unique focus shaped by the goals, resources and schedule of each project. The value of that focus is proved by the rapid, worldwide growth of project management: as a recognized and strategic organizational competenceà as a subject for training and education as a career path.
