Three factors define the success of any project; these are time, cost, and quality (Wysocki and RK 2013: 4). This paper identifies three main facets of project management that were inappropriately implemented, namely; Resourcing, Stakeholder Management, and Risk Management and how their improper implementation led to the violation of the three constraints (i.e. time, cost, and quality).

Evaluate the importance of understanding the various stages of the project life cycle and its possible contributions to a project.

The continual strive for world class health care has identified the systems life cycle as an import element to improve patient care. Systems development life cycle is a “phased approach to analysis and design which holds that systems are best developed through the use of a specific cycle of analyst and user activities” (Kendall & Kendall, 2014, p.4). The seven phases of the systems life cycle are identifying problems, determining human information requirements, analyzing system needs, design the system, developing and documenting software, testing and maintain the system, and implementing and evaluating the system (Kendal &Kendall, 2014). The roles of the nurse informatician and a project manager play an integral part in the development and success of a project.

The Project Management Life Cycle (PMLC) addresses the project management needs for all systems development projects. It is applicable to new system development projects and to maintenance projects for existing systems.

Evaluation is the process of comparing actual performance factors against the design basis and cost estimate established during DBM development.

Of the many lessons learned from the case study, one of the most relevant is how construction projects are managed over their entire lifecycle with the long-term goal being the efficient utilization of the asset being built. The same holds true for enterprise software, as project managers must taken into account every phase of the application development process and also pay very close attention to how the applications will deliver value to users over time as well. For constructions projects, the initial design requirements of streamlining initial building and site development, coupled with defining the many

Explain how the project management and control process occurs throughout the project lifecycle. When does it begin and end?

To ensure the project operating well and on time, the ways to evaluate and control are important. In current project management life cycle theory, three concepts are introduced to managers, which are used to evaluate the project operation.

Recent economic liberalisation of the construction market has placed private contractors in a stronger position to compete for work. At the same time, to be successful requires more sophisticated project management to enhance competitiveness (Fang, et al, 2004; Lim, et al., 2010). It is useful to identify the
