Project Management Theory and Practice!

In this part we explain Project Management. As a more productive model of management in theory and practice than other leadership models. We are familiar with the saying: Situation control needs effective measures. Without measures no one can control anything. Measures however needs mental skills depends on logical reasoning and critical thinking to map out goals or objectives for the measures to help achieving goals. To deal with continuous feedbacks to change management styles. Such control may be applied to Program Management PM which I believe is more applicable these days than any other theory. Because it uses technology as well as management expertise.
Project Management PM is the discipline of planning organizing and managing resources human professional skills and natural to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. Certain elements are needed to have for the PM team to abide with three elements: Time space and technology.
Time is necessary for a project which is a finite endeavor where specific start and completion dates are needed to be assigned to a project undertaken to create a unique product or service which brings about beneficial change or added value. This finite characteristic of projects stands in contrast to processes however or operations which are permanent or semipermanent functional work to repetitively produce the same product or service.
Space: it might be actual or virtual space In case of actual space it follows the steps of other management theories.
The Technology is the use the PM by designing on an internet giving possible models of output for goals. And depends on changing hypotheses in terms what if? Then what?
In practice the management of these three elements or may be described as systems is often found to be quite different and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management theories described in part two.
Challenges may face PM to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honoring the project rules constraints. Typical constraints are volume time and budget limitations Another challenge but more ambitious is to maximize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet planned Goals and objectives. Historically PM as a discipline was developed from different fields of application including engineering construction and defense. The two forefathers of project management known in the USA were Henry Gantt the father of planning and control techniques who is famously known for his use of the Gantt Chart as a project management tool the other was Henry Fayol for his creation of the 5 management functions which form the basis for the body of knowledge associated with project and program management. PEMC design stands for stages of Planning Execution Monitoring and Controlling systems.
Theories of management were developed through the years. Contemporary theories of management tend to account for and help interpret the rapidly changing nature of todays organizational environments. If you have the knowledge of these theories you may apply them to other sciences as well. The assumptions usually are different but the same logic controls each theory.
