BUILD A CAREER IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT.
Project management is the professional practice of managing the project life cycle to achieve desired objectives and goals.
Learn how to manage projects of any size successfully in any environment. Understand project management methodologies, tools, techniques, practical case approaches and share best practices.
The job of planning, organizing, controlling, co-ordinating and directing resources aimed at delivering a unique product, service, result or outcome within the constraints of scope, time, budget and cost defines project management.
Project production and project operations are other areas for critical study. But it suffices to say here that project management is a type of production management and that operations managers need knowledge and competencies of Operations Management to drive efficiency throughout every project life cycle.
WHAT’S A PROJECT?
A project is a temporary and unique effort, undertaking or venture aimed at producing a specific product, service or result within a particular time frame and budget. A project can be regarded as a production system because it involves the transformation of inputs (manpower, materials, plant and machines, finance, time etc.) into outputs (products/services). This encapsulates the project manager’s responsibility for visioning, customer/client centricity, managing resources, risks, constraints etc. alongside the primary role of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling and closing a project.
WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL PROJECT MANAGER?
Individuals as well as organizations are engaged in project “management”. Examples of projects are: buying a car or a house, moving into a new apartment, introducing a new product into the market, fulfilling customer order, road or bridge construction, renovating a factory, implemented a computerized system, installing a new production line or manufacturing plant etc.
Professionalism in Project Management requires certain knowledge level, skills, ethical conduct and practice standards. Unprofessionalism and unethical behaviours and attitudes are ubiquitous causing projects to fail or fall short of desired results. Projects involve predetermined and controlled tasks and steps aimed at delivering value
As a key business function every manager or executive may be involved in project management, supervision and control. Projects come in different forms and scales. Not all projects will require design engineers, consulting engineers or engineering managers but certainly all projects require operations management skills such as leadership, communication, planning, scheduling and problem solving. Production and Operations Managers do manage projects. Logistics and supply chain managers do just like accountants and HR managers. Scientists, engineers, technologists, technicians do manage projects. Those in the arts and business disciplines do manage projects. Projects are managed in public and private sectors and in all industrial sectors- agriculture, construction, mining, energy (oil, gas, electricity), manufacturing and service. However, poor management of projects resulting in project failures, poor quality delivery, safety and environmental incidents, high cost of project completion, dissatisfied clients/customers, abandoned projects, product/service uncompetitiveness, business failures and others have forced organizations to hire and retain professional project managers.
If you like a challenging and highly paid job involving team role playing and leadership to tackle problems, meet deadlines and achieve project plans at a high-level performance, then you have a future in this career.

Project production and project operations are other areas for critical study.
Reasons for ubiquitous project failures in both government sector and privately owned businesses stem mostly from lack of capacity to lead project teams that can deliver on time and within budget. This requires ability to engage in business forecasting and planning (including financial planning) production of SMART schedules, managing risks, controlling operational processes and leading problem solving teams toward achieving project goals and objectives.
