Hello my fellow blurtians, good morning to you all. I welcome you all to my blog. I want to share with you on how you can manage your project because some people embark or start a project but where not able to complete the project.
What is a project?
Note:- Objectives can grow and diminish. It is those things you need to do to achieve your aim. A project Must always have a name or title.
A project can also be defined as a set of temporary non-routine activities, the completion of which requires combined effort and skills from people with a variety of specialization.
In order to organize and manage a software development project successfully; One must combine specific knowledge, skills, experience, capabilities and even intuition. (Intuition means immediate cognition without the use of conscious rational processes)
Project management is therefore the art, science, technic or discipline of planning, organizing, directing, monitoring and generally managing resources to bring about a successful conclusion of specified timeframe.
The specific knowledge, skills, tools and technics required to manage a project will vary by the type of project. However, there are fundamental project management principles which are universal and therefore applicable to all type of project.
Common attribute of a project includes;
- Background/ Overview
- Scope: it defines a boundaries, length and width.
- Assumptions
- Deliverables
- Budget: All project Must have budget
- Schedule
- Resources
