Last week, I attended a training on Project Management. 😀 Sharing with you what I learned. 😀

4 PHASE PROCESS

         DEFINING

• Clearly define the project’s objectives as thorough as possible.
• Organize the right people and all necessary resources – Work within your resources
• Create a rational why the project is needed
• Know the scope and limitation (budget, time and people)PLANNING

• Set a SMARTER Goal (Specific, measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time Bound, Energizing and Rewarding)
• Design activities that are aligned with the goal and decide in what order and within what time frame.
• Identify options (Risk Management and Contingency Plans)

         MANAGING

• Monitor the progress and schedule
• Keep people motivated
• Ensure proper utilization of resources

         CLOSING

• Discuss learning and milestones

WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)

• Roadmap of project which breaks down the total work required into separate tasks and group them into logical hierarchy.
