3. About the Work Shop
• This “hands on” work shop is designed to give newly assigned project team members an
understanding of project management basics, and the regulatory, technical, and behavioral
responsibilities and accountabilities. As a participant, you will learn and practice project
management basics in each of the five stages of project management, from initiating to
closing the project. You will be able to contribute more quickly and effectively in project team
assignments, and instruct others on the technical and behavioral responsibilities and
accountabilities within the project team.
• Project Management Basics are key to project success, for organizations and individuals
regardless of project complexity and size. All team members need to have a sound
understanding of project management basics, the technical requirements and the behavioral
skills to work with others effectively and successfully. Team members contribute more timely
and at a higher level when they are well trained and well treated. This course provides the
participants with the basic technical knowledge and behavioral skills.
• Newly assigned project team members; individuals with project responsibilities; project
trainers; and, individuals from human resources, manufacturing, finance, purchasing,
marketing and sales, logistics, and engineering who need a general understanding of project
responsibilities and accountabilities will benefit from the systematic and logical presentation
of the technical and behavioral basics gleaned from the experiences, and teachings, of

24. I Keep six honest serving-men:
(They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Where and When
And How and Why and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five.
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men:
But different folk have different views:
I know a person small--
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes--
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!

Editor's Notes
It is best to begin at the beginning. Just what is Project Management?
Project Management is the time-bound use of limited resources to achieve a fixed outcome. Think of flashlight tag in the neighborhood or a family dinner. The basics are there. Think of a new world-wide product or service. The basics are there.
So, why do we make such a big deal of project management in our organizations? The answer is to achieve behavioral and technical control.
Understanding “needs” is very simple and very serious. Needs meet expectations. All needs are equal. You cannot move forward if a need is unfulfilled. Needs and wants are different. Wants exceed expectations. Wants are not equal. You can move forward when a want is unmet, but stakeholders will be less than satisfied.Every project deserves clearly identified and shared needs and wants. The wants are more helpful to project success when the priority order is known and shown.Project management is about balancing value, scope, and time to meet and exceed the expectations of all the stakeholders. Value, Scope, and Time are the first things for the project stakeholders to agree on and commit to. Any variation in one will affect the other two. Therefore, all changes require control and agreement. The key principles of project management applies on the playground with a group of eight year olds the same as in the board room of the world’s most complex organizations. And, little has changed since the dawn of civilization, except the tools we use for documenting and controlling the project.
The priorities of project management are value, scope, and time. These rule the processes, the systems, and the results.The core processes are procure, protect, produce, and promote. These apply to all the resources required by the project.Systems are collections of processes useful for managing the required resources. The basic resources are Members, Money, Materials, Machines, and Methods. The corresponding systems within organizations are often identified as Human Resources, Finance, Purchasing/Material Handling, Production/Engineering, and Quality Assurance. The organizational systems however called are best when aligned and integrated to be Results Driven. Alignment and Integration requires a systematic and logical progression of key organizational documents. The most effective project manager respects and follows the hierarchy of the organization.
Point to be made by the facilitator:The objective to get the one pager correct, not to get to one page. You must do it right the first time.
Point to be made by the facilitator:Project planning follows the same basic steps from the playground to the executive board room. The high rate of project failure is not because we don’t know what to do. Project failure happens because we don’t do what needs to be done in the systematic and logical order needed to be successful.
Point to be made by the facilitator:Systematic and logical analyses are necessary to ensure project success. Scope creep, budget over runs, and extended due dates are the predictable outcomes of inadequate project opportunity analysis. One key to success is often to let the project definition determine the project solution. A solution should never define the project.
Point to be made by the facilitator:.There are 3 expectations for project outcomes . They are:Exceeds expectationsIs under budgetCompleted before due date
Point to be made by the facilitator:Projects run on information. The way to get information is to question to the void, that is until there are no more logical questions.
Point to be made by the facilitator:There are 5 clearly defined stages to successful project management. And, a lot of books with different spins on the content.
