What Are Project And Project Management?

As a new field developed in the 90s, project management has become an important branch of modern management science and has attracted more and more attention.

The use of knowledge and experience in project management can greatly improve and improve the efficiency of management.

What is a project?

To put it simply, arranging a performance, developing a new product, and building a big house can be called a project.

According to the traditional practice, when an enterprise set up a project, there will be at least several departments participating in the project, including the financial department, the market department, the administrative department and so on, and different departments will inevitably have friction and coordination during the operation of the project, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of the project and affect the efficiency of the project implementation.

Project management practices are different.

The members of different functional departments form a team because of a certain project. The project manager is the leader of the project team. Their responsibility is to lead his team to complete all work on time and with high quality, and achieve the project goal without exceeding the budget.

The project manager is not only a project executor, he participates in the whole process of project requirement determination, project selection, planning and finishing, and manages the project in all aspects such as time, cost, quality, risk, contract, procurement, human resources and so on. This project management can help enterprises deal with complex problems that need to be solved in different fields and achieve higher operational efficiency.

It can be said that most project managers are diligent and diligent, but do they have efficient and practical project management methods?

We often see this situation: when faced with an urgent project, the whole company is like a boil, and everyone is in the office running.

People bumped into each other and lost everything.

Then overtime, overtime and endless overtime!

And what is the result?

When problems arise, everyone complains, the leader loses his temper, he blames his subordinates for incompetence, his subordinates are grieved, and they complain each other.

This is because after the project is handed over to the project manager, the project manager does not have a clear plan for the project. It is just what you do and what you are doing now. There is no special work to emphasize.

For those who are not responsible for their work now, who will be given to them temporarily, resulting in imbalance in the work distribution.

As a result of the overall chaos caused by the waste of time, resulting in prolonged overtime.

The fatigue and mental agitation of the staff also result in inefficient work.

All this will only lead to poor results, and even some companies will change their employees in large numbers after the end of each project.

From this, we can understand how important the application of project management technology is.

Because of this, the application of project management has been developing rapidly in the fields of architecture, national defense, aerospace and other industries since 80s, and now it has developed into many fields, such as computers, electronic communications, financial industry, and even government agencies.

At present, there is a deep understanding of project management in China, and the requirement that project managers have corresponding qualification is mainly for large multinational companies, IT companies, etc.
