In the current business environment, the demand for project managers is ever growing. In short, project management is a provisional project constrained by time, cost and scope (A guide to the project management body of knowledge, 2013). Between the immense organization, optimization, and communication assets skilled project management brings to a project, it is easy to see why project management is a booming field of study. Furthermore, project management can be both financially and personally rewarding when long term milestones and goals come to fruition.

An example that can be referenced is when the state of Maine struggled to deploy a new Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). One of the reasons was that the state of Maine had no meaningful project management until 4½ years into the project.9 In addition; my role will involve coordinating roles/positions within the project management team and checking project progress towards meeting its objectives. As an executive, it is important to stay close to the details of the project and not over delegate.10 Performance incentives for meeting a Go-live deadline will be used for further

Successful organizations are always looking for ways to improve process and procedures, increase revenues and profits, while staying relevant in today’s business world. Strong leadership is the backbone of any organization and is the catalyst for driving a culture of innovation and change. Organizations looking to make small or large-scale changes typically do so through the implementation of work projects. Projects are collaborative efforts carefully planned and designed to achieve a specific goal. According to Young (2010), “projects take careful planning, and a successful project is one that is done on time and within budget” (p.344). Project management is the activity of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources, while monitoring procedures and timelines, and usually has an assigned project manager (PM). Organizations such as Apple are known to have many projects in motion at any given time. This many projects happening simultaneously can be extremely complex, expensive, and taxing on resources, but somehow Apple has managed to implement project after project with huge success.

By analysing the job descriptions and performance you can then better determine the type of resources required and the demand of them that's needed. It will also identify areas that are in excess, or in need of, labor, products, and equipment.

Throughout my career, I increased my capabilities through a series of challenging projects. Whether designing and constructing an orphanage in Africa or planning a research facility on the Arctic glacier of Greenland, I have learned there is no individuality in project management and everyone involved must function as a team.

Project team plays a critical role in the successful completion of a project. It sounds like the current project team has a diversified portfolio and apparently has different skills and qualifications than their assigned tasks, one example was about the structural review that was carried out by a nuclear chemist instead of a structural engineer.

Successfully managing a project is synonymous with managing people, which takes management and leadership skills. Project managers will only be as successful as the people on the team and the relationship with the stakeholders. Accordingly, identifying key players and understanding the role and

Projects have been part of human society. Since historical existence of the human society, people have always joined efforts to execute various initiatives. Projects draw a number of people who in turn oversee specific duties or aspects to achieve certain objectives. However, projects are complex, a factor that calls for proper leadership and collaboration. Failure to have effective leadership and management may occasion project failure (Turner, 2014).  In essence, most projects are defined by systems and departments that are overseen by specific individual or entities. The aim of structuring projects along various lines or specialties is to enhance success rates. In light of this, this paper reviews, evaluates and critically

The element of management that specifically associated with the management of the projects is known as Project Management. Inevitably, the stance of project management can be extremely productive and effective for the organizations in particular (Bolles D & Hubbard, 2007). Most of the organizations are now looking forward to consider New

Successful achievement in a project, requires detailed understanding and capabilities of project management. Implementing the given task in the most appropriate ways will result in a successful project.

The cultural norm was to operate only within your function. This “decentralized managerial philosophy” hindered proactive communications between departments that that could have assisted in the company’s transition to project management.

During the course I learned various types of ideologies and practices for successful project managing. I may not be an expert, although I feel more knowledgeable and aware of how to manage projects effectively. There were six areas of project managing that I found to be very crucial to the success of completing projects and managing teams.

One aspect of job performance is task performance, in which job analysis is commonly used for definition. We used this by compiling a list of activities to be completed which was then distributed to each member of the group. Our group then successfully used creative task performance which involved coming up with ideas that were useful to the overall project. Since meeting up and completing the project was difficult, our performance of the project relied on everyone doing their assigned task so that the project would come together as one whole.

Successful project management is an important element of profitable organizations. According to Larson and Gray (2014), “project management provides people with a powerful set of tools that improves their ability to plan, implement, and manage activities to accomplish specific organizational objectives” (p. 3). Project management also always a project oriented organization to make educated decisions on which projects their organization should pursue. According to Bolat, Cebi, Gul, and Otay (2014), “organizations have to focus on improvement of project selection process coping with various multiple criteria, objectives and various goals that usually conflict with each other in terms of completion time, project budget and number of workers, etc.” (p. 247).

Business owners, executives, and other working professionals, have at least once played the role of project manager in the capacity of planning a process or system within their business or organization. Depending on the level of the business or organization, project managers would need advanced degree or certifications with experience and specializations of the organization itself. In any case, it is important to have experience and insight of the project(s) in order to be organized and meet the objective of the project intended. Therefore, in order to keep the project on course, the parties involved need to know something about
