8 Early Project Management I Building pyramids in the middle east, in south America and Asia (approx BC) Roman buildings and infra structure Examples: via appia, aqueducts, limes, also the military actions (approx. 300 BC-200 AC) 8

9 Early Project Management II Castles such as Versaille or Schönbrunn (approx ) Building big cathedrals in west and middle Europe (approx ) 9

10 Early Project Management III Railroads in the US and Europe Channels such as Suez and Panama (19th and early 20th cent.) t4/practical.html Rise of PM as a discipline (from approx. 1900) Large complex endeavors 10

11 Early Project Management IV Henry Laurence Gantt A.B., M.E. ( November 1919) an American mechanical engineer and management consultant developed Gantt chart in the 1910s worked with Fredrick W. Taylor 11

13 What is PMBOK? a framework of project management principles. a series of tools for project managers AND project leads, team leaders, project team members, and other stakeholders. no replacement for guidance such as ISO 9000, SAMM, or other State guidelines. 13

14 PMBOK Benefits UNIVERSAL: Common/generally accepted standards across multiple disciplines COMPLETE: The big picture on the subject of project management SIMPLE: Assembled in cliff notes format for ease of absorption 14

15 9 Knowledge Areas Procurement Management Scope Management Time Management Risk Management Integration Management Cost Management Communication Management Human Resource Management Quality Management 15 Source: PMBOK Guide 2004

16 PMBOK Focus Groups Initiation Process Group Defines and authorizes the project or a project phase Planning Process Group Defines and refines objectives, and plans the course of action required to attain the objectives and scope that the project was undertaken to address Executing Process Group Integrates people and other resources to carry out the project management plan for the project Monitoring and Controlling Process Group Regularly measures and monitors progress to identify variances from the project management plan so that corrective action can be taken when necessary to meet project objectives Closing process Group Formalizes acceptance of the product, service or result and brings the project or a project phase to an orderly end 16 Source: PMBOK Guide 2004
