The similarities and differences between domestic and global project management?
92954
Depends whether you mean working a global project that involves various countries, or project management in countries other than the US.\n\nIn general project management is similar the world over, although in the US the Project Management Institute is more well known than in the rest of the world where the IPMA is more known.  In the UK in particular the PRINCE2 process/certification is well known - less so in the US.\n\nSome domestic projects can be spread over many states, which presents many of the same challenges as different countries.  However, international projects obviously have the additional challenges of language, customs/import/export issues, local laws, local customs, security, exchange rates, wider time differences, travel costs, international treaties etc.

It's a little bit of a stretch, but it's mentioned in the PMI's PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) under Project Quality Management.  \n\nThe more general concept is the Pareto chart, which you might use to identify the top 20% that you're interested in.\n\nYou'd use it in Project Quality Management the same way you would anythere else - to identify the most significant issues/causes of project related problems or quality problems.\n\nThe 80/20 rule probably gets thrown around much more than it should, with little or no data to back it up : \n\ne.g. 80% of your problems will come from 20% of your tasks\n80% of your team-related problems will come from 20% of your team etc

Learn about project managment. It helps with all of the other parts of IT i.e. Business analysis, process mapping etc. It will also help you move in to management if you so wish. Wish I had learned about it sooner. Good luck.

- note down each & every piece of information about the project\n- classify this information into known categories like:\n   -- scope of the project\n   -- goals / milestones - major, minor, etc. to be achieved\n   -- required resources like manpower, tools, environment, etc.\n- evaluate the time & the cost required for the above resources\n- analyse the risks involved & classify them into Major, Minor, etc.\n- confirm whether have all the knowledge & capability to work on the project or \n- do you need to do more research on it as well\nhope this helps

A project basline is basically a version of the project plan saved just after the project planning is complete and before project execution begins.  It's the plan on day one of execution.\n\nIt can contain schedule, cost, and work (level of effort) information.\n\nBy comparing the current forecast to the baseline you can compare where you actually are, to where you said you would be.\n\nYou can also use the baseline to get into something called earned value, which is a more advanced way to compare cost and time performance against the baseline.

Project Management is a MicroSoft Software that helps you manage various projects, and it also helps when estimating job cost, etc...............\nI've been taking a course through compusa online. Its a difficult software to master, but the things you can do with it are endless.\nI work for a construction co. so we are planning on using to manage our construction sites.

The referenced form below is for project team members rather than the project manager, but it might get you started.\n\nIn general you have to be very careful about evaluating a project manager's performance.  If a project is successfull, is that because the PM did a great job, or because the project team really worked hard in spite of the PM.  Did the project that ran smoothly not have any problems - it was an easy project - or was the project manager able to do a good job, plan ahead and avoid many issues

The link below describes the role of a project manager.  This is a generic description, but the role would be largely the same for a software implementation project.

There is the so called PC based, popular application used is MS Project, I will assume that you have tried your hand on this already.\n\nThere is also a collaboration type like MS Sharpepoints.\n\nThen there is the network based, like Agile, corporate user can define what are needs, requirements and task management in this system, its a customize application.\n\nAs for techniques, there are those who follows the MS Project schedule, there are those who refer to Gantt chart, then there are experience folks [including me] who rely on the ability to visualize the whole project, delegates and identify bottleneck, without using paper or notes.

Project management is the management of a single project which has a set beginning, a number of tasks and a set end point.\n\nProgram Management is the management of a series of projects which may or may not run concurrently.\n\nOperations Managament is the ongoing management of daily works such a technical support, network management etc and has no set end point.\n\nFor example, an interne tcompany may have many projects running to deliver new products to market and once a product is implemented then the project is finished whereas their operations management teams are occupied with the day to day support and management of the network, keeping it running, fixing problems etc etc.\n\nemail me if you want more examples.

"Realisation phase" is not a standard project management term.  Are you referring to a concept, or perhaps, requirements phase ? Or even the realization of project results in the execution phase ?

I've not understood so well what are you looking for, but did you tryed to use MS Project? \nYou will create resources and tasks. Associating these taks to the resources you will know approxiamtive production cost of your project. \n\nOne possible extension of this kind of work is use BSC, balance scorecard.\n\n..................................\nIndicators like \nScheduled Performance Indicator, Earned Value and Cost Performance Index must be worked using sheets. \n\nYou can have an direct output from MS Project and put all values direct on a table, gatting on this wayautomatic responses. \n\nBefore you define an standard, you will loose near to 4 hours of your time to build it and after, less than 1 hour each week to keep information updated. \n\nUsually to collect is a big issue once depends about how many people you have under your responsability and how you will manage updates in your timeline. \n\nWhat is most difficult it define and implement these metrics. How to define standards, define your version of the actual project's photo and then, apply it to the indicators to populate your weekly sheet. \n\nEverything is liked to your Project Plan and how attached it is to the reality. Usually its dificult to keep controlling it. \n\nI hope to have answered your question.

That is dependant on a lot of factors.  Including standard practice of the organization you're working with, type of project and scope of project.  Below are some links to explore.

I've included a link to a detail description of the position of project manager.\n\nThe position of office manage is completely different, and is normally the person who takes care of office administration activities - particularly in smaller companies.
