Putting project management Concepts into Context

Page 4: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 4

PM History• Until 1900 civil engineering projects were generally managed by

creative architects, engineers, and master builders themselves • It was in the 1950s that organizations started to systematically

apply project management tools and techniques to complex engineering projects

• Two forefathers of project management are Henry Gantt, called the father of planning and control techniques, who is famous for his use of the Gantt chart as a project management tool (alternatively Harmonogram first proposed by Karol Adamiecki); and Henri Fayol for his creation of the five management functions that form the foundation of the body of knowledge associated with project and program management

• Frederick Winslow Taylor's theories of scientific management work is the forerunner to modern project management

• The 1950s marked the beginning of the modern project management era where core engineering fields come together to work as one

From Engineering to Management

• Until the 20th Century projects were managed by creative architects, engineers and master builders

• As a management discipline, project management developed from several fields of application including civil construction, engineering, and heavy defense

• Only in 1950’s Project management became recognized as a distinct discipline arising from the management discipline with engineering model

Is PM Sexy?

• Until the early '90s, project management was definitely located somewhere near the unsexy end of the business spectrum.

• But now, with the rise of downsizing and outsourcing, it has become one of the hot disciplines.

• Professional membership of the U.S.-based Project Management Institute has quadrupled in the last decade, and

• Microsoft claimed recently to have over 2 million users worldwide of its project-management software.

The reasons for this growth

o Project management is about managing "projects," that is, unique pieces of work (as opposed to ongoing operations)

oDownsizing, outsourcing, and the accelerating pace of change have meant that, increasingly, work is carried out on an ad-hoc, one-off project basis

Why Project Management?

• Regardless of your industry or mission, project management is the value driver that helps your organization get the most out of its performance.

• When tailored or “fit” to an organization’s culture, project management brings value by improving:– The execution of strategy, through repeatable, reliable

performance and standardization; – The integration within the organization, through elimination

of “silos” and better communication and collaboration; – The learning that a Projectise organization undergoes as it

explores new products, processes and markets.

Evidence of PM Importance

• One-fifth of the world’s GDP, or more than $12 trillion, is spent on project

• Society of Human Resources (SHRM) identifies PM as having a major strategic impact for 64% of organizations world wide

• PM Certification helps make sure that you’ll be ready for the above need

• There are already more than 460,000 PMI credential (PMP) holders around the world and in every industry

• The PMI has a global membership of 383,118 as at 30th April 2012

Note: PM-project management

Page 10: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 10

Evidence of PM Importance

• The ‘2012 PMI Pulse of the Profession’ study found that organizations with more than 35% PMP certified project managers had better project performance

• And according to a 2007 PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, 80% of high-performing projects use a credentialed project manager

Page 11: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 11

According to the Standish CHAOS Report (2009)

• 68% of projects do not meet time/cost/quality targets. Only 32% of projects were completed on time, within budget and delivered measurable business and stakeholder benefits.

• There are many reasons for such failures. As per a KPMG survey of 252 organizations, technology is not the most critical factor.

• Usually the reasons are, 1.Inadequate project management implementation constitutes 32% of project failures,2.l ack of communication constitutes 20% and 3.Unfamiliarity with scope and complexity constitutes 17%.

• Accordingly 69% of project failures are due to lack of and/or improper implementation of project management methodologies

PM4NGOs

• Formed on 10 September 2010, Project Management for Non Governmental Organizations (PM4NGOs)

• This is a new international PM professional NGO, founded at InterAction in Washington, DC, USA.

• PM4NGOs began as an initiative to promote the use of professional project management methods in the development sector.

• The real effort began in 1977

Page 48: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 48

Over the past three years…

• PM4NGOs has designed a curriculum, tested it in over 30 countries with over 200 field-based project managers from fifteen different organizations.

• Most recently a curriculum has been translated into an independently accredited certification scheme with the help of the APMGroup in the United Kingdom.

• This is as a result of the contribution of a consortium of NGOs focused on sharing learning resources and experiences to improve the capacity of NGOs operating in the developing world

Page 49: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 49

The Project Management in Development Professional (PMD Pro) certification

• was launched in early in 2010 creating the need for an independent accrediting body

• was necessary to maintain the integrity of the standard and its independence from any single organization

• the founding Board members represent international humanitarian relief and development organizations

Page 50: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 50

Why PM4NGOs?-Mike Culligan, a founder member

• Current PM standards(e.g. PMI, IPMA.) are not easy to apply in NGOs

• They simply do not connect with the way development workers are running their projects(NGOs)

• The founders wanted to promote ‘proven best practices’ for the NGOs

• Produced ‘The Guide to the PMD Pro’• The Guide(like PMBoK) can be promoted by independent

training & consulting firms

Ref: ‘The fast forward MBA’, by ERIC VERZUH

Project Management Consulting

• Consulting firms can help your organization to:• Objectively assess current processes against

industry-recognized best practices. • Identify gaps in project management practices. • Focus on improvement opportunities to drive

business performance results. • ‘The PMI Consultant Registry’ helps cut through the clutter

and search for project, program and portfolio management consulting firms that fit one’s expertise and selection criteria

Page 54: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 54

Project Management Research• Project Management Research is proposed as a distinct sub-

discipline within the profession• Disruptive innovations can be preceded by decades of

research, experimentation and development phases prior to implementation

• In the coming years, the results of today’s research will determine the kinds of occupations that will drive the economy belonging to the first, truly post-industrial generation

• It will be imperative for project management professionals to work with researchers, scientists, developers, manufacturers, ethicists and ethnographers to facilitate a transition toward an even more knowledge worker-based economy than we are familiar with now

Page 55: Pm certifications & accreditations

07/04/2023 55

Why PM Research is Different• Research, by its definition, is different. If the outcome were

predictable, there would be no need to conduct an experiment!• The scientific method, as it is taught in classrooms, demands that

observations be made• IN project management there is not necessarily a predictable start.

There is no predictable end • The outcome – let alone the output – is dubious. Research creates

or builds on either new knowledge or through disruptive innovation.

• Project Management Research seeks to facilitate these endeavours while mitigating unjustifiable risk

• It is posited here that Project Management Research is a distinct sub-discipline within the profession
