Modernity is the sum of knowledge of the theories, methods and tools to be used in modern project management and their interrelationships. These include project scope management, time management, cost management, quality management, integrated management, human resources management, communications management, risk management, procurement management, organizational management and decision-making management。
Project scope management is the planning and definition of the work to be done in the project management process and the management of the control and change of project scope in the project implementation process. The fundamental purpose of project management is twofold: to define the scope of a project well at the beginning of the project; and to exercise good control over the scope of a project during its implementation, ultimately ensuring its success through project scope management. The main objects of project scope management are two: the management of the range of project outputs; and the management of the scope of project work. The main elements of project management include project start-up and project definition, project scope planning, project scope definition, project scope confirmation, control over changes in project scope and supervision and control of project scope implementation。
Project time management is a dedicated project management exercise throughout the project management process to ensure that the project is completed within the established time frame. Project time management covers both the management of project time-point indicators (i. E., progress management) and the management of project time-related indicators (i. E., time management). The fundamental purpose of project time management is to ensure the success of the project in time management by managing the planning and scheduling of project progress and monitoring and control of project duration. Key elements of the project-specific management include the disaggregation and definition of project activities, the sequencing of project activities, the timing of project activities, the preparation of project time plans, the monitoring and control of project time and the control of changes in project time。
Project cost management is a project-specific management effort throughout project management to ensure project success in terms of cost and value. Modern project management theory suggests that project cost management should include both the management of project expenditure and the management of project value. Because of the value engineering rationale for v (project value) = f (project function)/c (project cost), project cost management should involve both v and c management, a dedicated management for maximizing project value. The underlying purpose of project cost management is therefore to ensure the project's success in terms of cost and value by scientifically correctly determining the cost and value of the project and controlling it efficiently and in a timely manner. Key elements of the project-specific management include the project resource planning, project cost estimates, project cost budgets, project cost monitoring and project cost changes and claims。
Project quality management is a project-specific management exercise undertaken in project management to ensure the quality of project outputs and the quality of project work. Modern project management theory considers project quality management to be a management of specific functional aspects of project outputs. Because project quality management is the management of f based on the principles of value engineering for v=f/c. Project quality management includes both how to maximize project functionality in the context of established project costs and how to achieve a significant increase in project functionality through a small increase in project costs, as well as how to reduce project costs while the project function remains unchanged. Because of the one-time and unique characteristics of the project, effective management of the material volume of the project outputs must be achieved through the management of the quality of the project's work in the implementation of project quality management. Key elements of project quality management include the planning and identification of project outputs and the quality of the underlying tasks of the project, the safeguarding of the essential tasks of the project and the quantity of material for the output, the control of the essential tasks of the project and the volume of material for the output, and the control of changes in the volume of material for the project outputs。
Project integration management is a holistic, integrated and integrated project management exercise undertaken in the project management process to ensure that project work is well coordinated and aligned. This integrated project management is different from the general project management, and it is a project system management based on a rigorous configuration of the various elements of project management. It covers both the integrated management of project elements such as project quality, scope, cost time, and project work such as project procurement, project communication, project risk and project human resources. The purpose of integrated project management is to manage all aspects of the project through integration, coordination and integration in order to ensure the overall success of the project as a whole, not just one phase or aspect of the project. Key elements of this project management include the preparation of an integrated project plan, the implementation of an integrated project plan and the management and control of the overall changes to the project。
The management of project human resources is a project-specific management exercise undertaken in the course of the project to make more efficient use of the human resources involved in the project. The fundamental purpose of human resources management of the project is to plan the human resources required for the project scientifically and effectively to ensure the success of the project as a whole. Any project needs to be managed in terms of project human resources. The management of human resources for the project is primarily the management of people who contribute their talents and insights to the project, rather than the management of project labour and project labour. Key elements of project human resources management include project human resources planning, acquisition and equipping of project human resources, organization of the project team, project team-building and project human resources development。
