week 4 Flashcards
what are the basic management roles in organisations
Strategic management- focus on future state
Project management- completing one single result
Operational management
what does PLC stand for
project life cycle
what is PMBOK
The Project Management Body of Knowledge is a set of standard terminology and guidelines for project management
what is PRINCE2
is a structured, process-based project management methodology used and recognized worldwide, designed to help project managers deliver projects successfu
project management knowledge areas
Project integration management
Project scope management
Project cost management
Project quality management
Project risk management
Project communication management
project life cycle phases
Project management eg PMBOK –focuses on the management processes
Technical- focuses on the actual building processes
Project Life Cycle phases, should based on technical, not Project Management
Reflect how products created - varies between industries
what r the 4 steps to a project life cycle
Phase 1-Pre-project phase (Inception, Feasibility and Strategy)
Phase 2-Pre-construction -planning (getting site ready for construction)
Phase 3-Construction and Commissioning
Phase 4- Post-Construction (Completion, Handover, Post Completion review).
describe pre project
What is the project and what are boundaries –House as an example “scope of the project”-
Number of rooms, bathrooms, building envelope
The respective viability is it affordable, does it suit the needs of client, time frames
describe pre construction
The project is approved, “scope of project” is known
The idea creates a “design”
Fundamental “planning” of the project begins
describe construction/comissioning
The idea has now / is turning into reality
The design is being constructed to the agreed project objectives
Requires monitoring an control of resources
describe post construction phase
The project reaches completion / handover
Must ensure the full cycle is achieved
Client and project team are aware that the project is finished.
Operation and maintenance manuals. Testing of equipment.
benefits of using a project lifecycle
It allows the project manager to maintain an overview of total project
It breaks sequence into manageable parts
It promotes a sense of urgency
It helps in decisions about acquisition strategies (getting resources)
Scheduling and cost separation-allocation of project finances
what is Iterative Life Cycle
involves repeating project phases (like planning, design, implementation, and testing) multiple times to refine the product or project based on feedback and evolving requirements.
technical project life cycle vs project management cycle for smaller projects
Technical Project life cycle
Concept and Design is conducted together-Architect and client
Construction phase simple for both
Commissioning-ensuring everything works/handover folder/warranties
Project management Cycle
Initiation/planning-concurrent activities –
Prepare site establishment/documentation for compliance DA/dilap reports etc
Construction phase –control
Closing-close contracts/finalise budgets/lessons learned
technical project life cycle vs project management cycle for larger projects
project life cycle
Concept-a number of iterations may be required before decision finalised
Design – Architects, consultants, gov. compliance, environmental, heritage, (Site prep for project concurrent)
Construction phase-Construction phase
Commissioning-testing services and equipment, maintenance manuals
Project management Cycle
Initiation buildability/feasibility/project charter/stakeholders (go/no go)
Final documentation/cost and tender process
Planning—Scope/Prepare teams/preliminary schedule/communications
Construction phase –construction/WHS, quality,time and budget control/reporting
Closing-close contracts/finalise budgets/lessons learned
project manager attributes
leading:
Communications
Ensuring team has appropriate resources
Motivate team/maintain vision
Support team
Create environment to ensure most productivity from individuals
manages:
Implement strategy
Schedules/milestones
Budgets
Communications/updating client and stakeholders/reporting
what are some planning activities that need to be carried out
Dilapidation report
Traffic control plan
Work health and safety plan –SWMS –safe work method statements
Schedule
Environmental plan – waste management plan
Contracts with subcontractors
