Project management helps you answer questions such as:
⬧ What is to be done?
⬧ Who will complete the task?
⬧ When must it be done?
⬧ How much will it cost?
⬧ What happens if work isn’t completed on time?
Typically, project management involves three major activities:
• Planning the project and creating a schedule This includes defining the tasks and their duration, setting up relationships between tasks, and, if you are tracking resource usage, assigning resources. ALL later phases of the project are based directly on the information you provide when you first plan your project.
• Managing changes This is an ongoing process that begins once you create a schedule, and the project starts and ends when the project is complete. It includes tracking and adjusting your schedule to reflect changes that occur as the project progresses.
• Communicating project information This is a very important process that involves communicating project information to clients, project staff, and management.
• Project management software is productivity software that will assist you in each of these steps. Many professionals find it is among the most productive tools in their skill set. Some Information Systems professionals will find it essential to their jobs while many others will use it only on an occasional basis.
