...Projects have ‘being undertaken in a rudimentary form back beyond the Romans to early civilizations,’(Walker and Dart, 2011, p.4-16) from building the ‘Great Wall of China’, to ‘The Great Pyramid of Giza’ (Haughey, 2013) and notable architectural buildings that are still in existence today. Project management tools such as program evaluation review technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) came into effect between 1956 to 1958 (Azzopardi, 2015). It was not widely embraced until the 1960s in the USA when the project management theory gave birth to ‘modern project management’ (Azzopardi, 2015). The concept project is defined as ‘a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result’ (PMI, 2008, p.5). Whilst project management is ‘the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirement.’ (PMI, 2008, p.6). Unpacking both definitions, project management is deemed a powerful tool that gives an organisation the ability to assign its resources in a unique way through planning, implementing and controlling each deliverables to meet the projected outcome. In today’s modern world, organisations have an invested interest in the practice of project management and the professional discipline. Historically, priest, architect, quantity surveyors and engineers as ‘“accidental” project managers’ (Walker and Dart, 2011, p.4-16) where given the role to deliver complex task without having the right tools or processes...

The topic of this assignment wasn’t specified by the professor but the only requirement was that it needed to be something in the field of project management. Long discussions were held in our group to decide which topic we wanted to address, which ones seemed interesting or in what area we could make a small contribution. Then it struck us, why don’t we try to bring project management into our daily lives. This all led to the following: the topic we wanted to address was whether the usage of online project management tools on group assignments could have added value. We did this because working on group works is a major part of our time spent at the university of Ghent so far. This amount of time sometimes brings along frustration, unproductive meetings, etc. But it’s not the only reason, we believe that...

...other low cost project management system must have started with the spreadsheets, then the era of the MS project. This helped a lot until managers realized that they required something more batter. Looking at the project management systems, a well established procedure has to be there to be able to select the right one. They include the fact that they should be intuitive and flexible, they should also be web based. Online systems will provide managers with real time abilities of collaboration and the possibility of staying up to date with the progress of the project. There are many free management systems, all that one need is to search for “free management system”. Although there are many low cost management systems, it is a bad idea to use online one system. This is due to the fact that they offer limited features. The system may seem perfect initially but as the number of projects increases the limitation of the system become completely obvious. It is important to stick to the best as it will be hard to switch to a more robust one. It will take too much time to transfer all the data from one old system to a new one. It is highly advisable that every highly esteemed manager should conduct test before venturing into using any low cost project management systems. This will help in choosing the one that best suits them and help in reducing the possibility of suffering from a severe headache when transferring files from one system to another at the middle of projects. When choosing...

...Project Management Question 1: Search the web for ‘‘Effective Project Communications.’’ Summarize at least one website and compare it to what was presented in this chapter. What new insights did you gain from this website? Communication is vital in project management. Effective communication skills are one of the most important qualities a project manager can possess. There are many mediums of communication such as verbal or written. During the course of a project there should be internal and external correspondence between all team members. This website points out that it is not how much a project manager says but saying the right things to the right people. As the text suggests in chapter 12, effective and frequent personal communication is crucial to keeping the project moving and avoid surprises. There also needs to be opportunities for team collaboration. The site is in favor of meetings instead of separate conversations. This can reduce the time the team spends in sharing information by half. As the team size increases, the more time it takes to communicate to the entire team. The best communication comes if the project manager condenses or filters the information. (http://www.projectmanagementguide.org/project-management/effective-communication) Question 2: Search the web for ‘‘Effective Listening Skills.’’ Identify several helpful techniques that were not presented in this chapter. To effectively communicate, a project manager must also have good listening...

The result of literature review gives us information with regard to the research done on the topic by others researchers. Result of this review will be the gaps that are found in the existing works and the good features that can be suggested for the proposed system. A data warehouse is projected in a way that data can be stored and accessed and is not restricted only to tables and relational lines. (Fink, 1998) As the data warehouse is separated from operational databases, user’s queries do not cause any impact in these systems. Data warehouse is protected from any non-authorized alteration or loss of data. Data warehouse contemplates the base and the resources needed for a Decision Support System (DSS), supplying historic and integrated data. These data are for top managers, decision makers, and partners, donors – who need brief, summarized and integrated information – and for low-level managers, for whom detailed data helps to observe some tactical aspects of the organization. In this way, data warehouse provides a specialized. For a centralized database oracle will be used for storing details of data being brought from different hostel location of the organization and saved into single database using oracle database management system.

...1. What is the current process of initiating projects within the organization? There are several functional departments that manage projects and have established standard processes and templates although these are not consistent across the organization. The PMO has developed a methodology and process, including standard tools and templates for project management to the implementation of the strategic programs of the company. 2. What is the operational relationship of the various locations vis-à-vis the implementation of strategies and execution of projects across these locations? Each strategic program has an assigned executive sponsor and is managed by a program leader. These program leaders are responsible for implementing the strategic projects across all Champion locations. 3. What type of organizational structure does Champion Technologies operate i.e. functional, projectized or matrix? The organization as a whole is largely functional, although as we continue to reorganize departments to better meet current and future challenges, we have some roles that have been matrixed. A matrixed organization has to be carefully monitored for conflicts where interdependencies lie so we follow a RACI model is these cases. In terms of the PMO, this is a small organization that reports to the President and CEO of the company.
