Presentation Transcript

  1. Project Management for Computing Research Projects

  2. Consider the following: • Surely Project Management is a matter of common sense and a bit of organisation? • “A project is like a well behaved child who misbehaves as soon as your back is turned”

  3. Aim of a project • The aim of the business is met • The aim of the Specification is understood • And more importantly that the Project is planned, thought out and properly controlled to give it every chance of success. • Many projects that fail are due to lack of either no methodology or poor Project Management skills.

  4. Software Development Life Cycle • Initiation • Feasibility • Analysis/Research • Design • Implementation • (Code/test) • Maintenance • Review/Evaluation Within this you have Planning and Tools and Techniques

  5. Project Management Cycle: • Initiation • Planning • Executing • Monitoring and Controlling • Closing • The five basic process groups msingh@projectminds.com

  6. SDLC and PMLC go hand in hand: • To ensure that the project has been properly: • Planned (timeline, resources, contingencies) • Monitored/Controlled (Resources, Cost, Time and Quality; including that the product is correct and it is the right product). • This phase avoids slippage and ensures that contingencies are followed if needed

  7. Balancing Act: • The right product is delivered on time and on budget to meet the requirements. Quality Time Cost

  8. Tools and Techniques • Scheduling tools such as Gantt Chart

  9. What do I need for COMP2100/3100? • Clear and concise discussion of project management approaches appropriate to the task. • An initial schedule of sorts  • End of project schedule • What approach you took and why • How did you use it (Phases and problems/solutions)
