Project management is the process of organizing the execution of the project.
Through this is achieved:
• Improving project design
• Improving the implementation and control of the various tasks and improving the degree of utilization of productive means and resources (staff, machinery, capital, etc.)
The ultimate goal of project management is to optimize the three basic, interdependent, implementation parameters of a project, namely:
• Maximize performance (eg build quality)
• Cost minimization
• Minimize the implementation time of the data of the existing constraints.
The more complex a project is, the more important is the role and benefits of managing it. In large projects, the need for coordination and cooperation of multiple and non-uniform production teams, make it necessary to organize the project in order to achieve the desired goals. Project management includes many sub-items. The emphasis here is on two of the most important, namely: planning and implementation control.
Project planning and scheduling is the process of drawing up an appropriate work plan for the implementation of a project. This determines the work schedule and the distribution of available resources so that the project is completed on time and economically. In order to compile it, the tasks, the interdependencies and their durations, the required resources, the costs and in general all the implementation constraints are taken into consideration.
Project control is the process of controlling the implementation of programming during the implementation phase of the project. Includes the analysis and comparison of the project implementation flow in relation to the planned work plan, the assessment of the effects of possible deviations and the download.
