Project Management

From BC$ MobileTV Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Project Management is the organization and maintenance of the ongoing strategical direction/vision for a given project, and for communication of status of that project to its stakeholders (management, executives, owners, board of directors, possibly even shareholders, customers, the general public, etc).


Project Manager

A Project Manager (sometimes also abbreviated as PM or possibly as PMP for Project Management Professional) is a member of a company, department, team or workforce consultant whose role is to take responsibility for a project's fulfillment from beginning to end (or possibly part way through to end, in the case of troubled/re-hashed projects), all the while ensuring the project is completed to all specifications/requirements, including as many of the "nice-to-haves", well-tested, reliable, and turned in on time and on budget.

PMO

Having a Project Management Office (PMO) is a model whereby a specific company will separate Project Managers (PMs) from the rest of the company, such that any given PM in the PMO is "leased out" to a specific team only for a period of time while they work towards delivering one or more (but preferring to focus on one at a time) specific project(s), after which time, the PM will be returned to the PMO for a new assignment with a new team. This differs greatly from the residency model where each department of a company and/or team within the department has their own dedicated PM(s) for day-to-day operations and/or project they may work on.

Centralizing the PMs in the manner of a PMO makes it much easier to have a single-view of projects across the company, however comes with the downside of PMs potentially being seen as "strangers" (if not tyrannical overlords, aka. Micro-Managers) to the team they are assigned to manage or work with.

PLM

Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) is the succession of strategies used by business management as a product goes through its life-cycle. The conditions in which a product is sold (advertising, saturation) changes over time and must be managed as it moves through its succession of stages.

The life of PLM is typically an entire product/service's lifetime.

PDLC

A similar concept called "Program/Project Development Life-Cycle" (in that case abbreviated PDLC) is concerned with enhancing or changing a product or service in a manner which reflects specific customer, business, and organizational needs.

The life of PDLC is typically an specific project's lifetime within a larger product/service (such as a feature build).

Productivity

The goal of any Project Management task, plan or framework, is typically to improve Productivity (whether of processes, people/workers, applications, products, services, etc). According to Wikipedia: "Productivity is an average measure of the efficiency of production. It can be expressed as the ratio of output to inputs used in the production process, i.e. output per unit of input.

When all outputs and inputs are included in the productivity measure it is called total productivity. Outputs and inputs are defined in the total productivity measure as their economic values. The value of outputs minus the value of inputs is a measure of the income generated in a production process. It is a measure of total efficiency of a production process and as such the objective to be maximized in production process.

Productivity measures that use one or more inputs or factors, but not all factors, are called partial productivities. A common example in economics is labor productivity, usually expressed as output per hour. At the company level, typical partial productivity measures are such things as worker hours, materials or energy per unit of production.

In macroeconomics the approach is different. In macroeconomics one wants to examine an entity of many production processes and the output is obtained by summing up the value-added created in the single processes. This is done in order to avoid the double accounting of intermediate inputs. Value-added is obtained by subtracting the intermediate inputs from the outputs. The most well-known and used measure of value-added is the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). It is widely used as a measure of the economic growth of nations and industries. GDP is the income available for paying capital costs, labor compensation, taxes and profits." [41]


Workforce Productivity is the amount of goods and services that a worker produces in a given amount of time. It is one of several types of productivity that economists measure. Workforce productivity can be measured for a firm, a process, an industry, or a country. It is often referred to as labor productivity.

The OECD defines it as "the ratio of a volume measure of output to a volume measure of input"[42] Volume measures of output are normally gross domestic product (GDP) or gross value added (GVA), expressed at constant prices i.e. adjusted for inflation. The three most commonly used measures of input are:

  1. hours worked;
  2. workforce jobs; and
  3. number of people in employment.

[43]

Other than these generic metrics, management may seek to establish and measure a number of other more specialized Key Performance Metrics (or KPIs) of their industry, business performance, product/service performance and employee workplace performance, such as in IT for a Programmer or a Software Development team:

  1. number of lines of code written per day
  2. estimates coming in on-time/budget .vs. delays (or total hours delayed)
  3. Bugs/Issues fixed per day
  4. ratio of bugs introduced in new code
  5. test case statuses (in TDD, % of code passing pre-tests at given point in project timeline)
  6. number of re-tests required (pass/fail ratio)
  7. Code Coverage (test cases created per line of code)
  8. major errors introduced (which prevent Builds/Deploys or completion of SLAs)
  9. minor errors/side-effects introduced (which don't prevent Builds/Deploys/SLAs but may negatively impact end-user satisfaction in some way, bounce rates, etc)
  10. application performance (uptime/downtime, query execution time, UI responsiveness, etc)
  11. adherence to Coding Styles (organizational or department/team/app-specific)

Time Audit

If you find yourself saying "I just don't have time to X" (i.e. take a night time class, ) it would be useful to fill out a time audit. Copy the following down on a sheet of paper or Excel spreadsheet and write in your numbers. 

Work: ______ Weekly Hours
Sleep: ______ Weekly Hours
Commute: ______ Weekly Hours
Errands: ______ Weekly Hours
Family Time: ______ Weekly Hours

Add the above numbers. That’s your “Total Hours”

Now do this equation: 168 - (Total Hours) = Weekly hours you have for fitness. Now stop making excuses. [65]

Burnout

Burnout is a scenario where an employee or member of a group either emotionally or physically crashes, disconnects or encounters an ailment that prevents their continued productive participation in the group, organization or initiative that caused the Burnout.
