Basic principles of project management
Document presentation
This document makes a both lean and robust
proposal of "project management" organization in any company.
The aims of this organization are:
-
To allow all employees to share all information about ongoing
projects.
-
To benefit from every expertise in the company.
-
To make possible economic rationality in investment
decision-making.
-
To pave the way for the use of a genuine "project planning"
software.
-
To lay the ground for the emergence of a "Project Management
Office".
-
To capitalize on past experience and to enrich all company
workstations by sharing best practices.
Strong points
-
This proposal can apply to projects with any purpose,
and even to projects without any “Information Technology”
aspects.
-
This proposal is robust enough to apply as is to projects of
any size, from the 100,000 men-days program to the most
elementary action. This allows to avoid "threshold effects”
(typically: piecing projects in parts so small as to allow
them to be handled by "maintenance" processes)
-
The organization we define is “recursive”, i.e. the same
rules may apply to a project, to its sub-projects, to
the sub-projects of its sub-projects etc. This obviously makes
possible to take into account any project configuration. For
instance, this organization may be easily used to manage a
