The document provides an overview of project management frameworks and tools. It discusses the rising demand for project management and outlines the project manager's body of knowledge. It also summarizes key project management concepts like the project life cycle, process groups, knowledge areas, and interactions between projects, programs and portfolios. Additionally, it describes tools for planning, monitoring and controlling projects, including work breakdown structures, Gantt and PERT charts, maturity models and more.

19. GANTT CHARTS
Essentially, a Gantt chart is a bar chart that lays out project tasks and timelines linearly. The y-
axis is made up of individual tasks and the x-axis represents time. Gantt charts are great for
improving efficiencies and optimizing time management, as PMs can adjust tasks in the chart
as the project progresses to keep it on track for a timely delivery.
A Gantt chart, named for Henry Gantt who developed the tool back in 1910, is used to visually
display every task required by a given project in a linear fashion. This timeline view makes it
easy to see exactly how long each task (as well as the overall project) is expected to
take. Gantt charts are also great for visualizing the order of specific tasks as well as the teams
and individuals responsible for each task.
21. PERT CHARTS
A PERT chart, on the other hand, is structured as a flow chart or network diagram that displays
all the project tasks in separate boxes and connects them with arrows to clearly
show task dependencies. Although PERT — short for Program Evaluation and Review
Technique — charts don’t have dates along their x-axes like Gantt charts, the individual boxes
charts, the individual boxes that make up PERT charts identify the time needed to complete
each task .
The PERT methodology was developed in the 1950s by the U.S. Navy to help manage large,
complex projects. With a PERT chart, project managers can define all tasks and activities
required for the project, then develop a realistic timeframe for project completion. PERT charts
are also useful in scheduling and coordinating team members to accomplish the project’s
tasks.ntify the time needed to complete each task.

23. Tools: Critical Path Method (CPM)
• The critical path are the tasks that have the longest
path.
• Tasks are performed in parallel or one task is
completed before the next one can begin.
• This graph shows why if one task is not completed on
time can impact or cause delays to the schedule. Could
cause a major problem to the outcome of the project.

This diagram shows six tasks in the project schedule. Tasks A, C, and F
are on the critical path, which means if one of these tasks takes longer
than expected, the project will not meet the deadline.

25. This diagram shows how Task A took longer than expected, which
affected when Tasks C & F could start and added 1.5 weeks to the

26. • Organizational Project Management Maturity Model
(OPM3®) helps organizations understand their project
management processes, ensures that their projects are tied to
the organization's larger strategy, and measures and guides
their capabilities for improvement.
Organizational Project Management
Maturity Model
28. Best Practices: What the Winners Do*
• Recent research findings show that companies that excel in
project delivery capability:
– Build an integrated project management toolbox (use
standard/advanced PM tools, lots of templates)
– Grow competent project leaders, emphasizing business and
soft skills
– Develop streamlined, consistent project delivery processes
– Install a sound but comprehensive set of project
performance metrics
*Milosevic, Dragan, Portland State University, “Delivering Projects:
What the Winners Do,” PMI Conference Proceedings, November2001
29. Findings From 5-Year Study on Quantifying
the Value of PM*
1. Companies with more mature project management practices
have better project performance (on time and budget vs. 40%
over time and 20% over cost targets)
2. Project management maturity is strongly correlated with more
predictable project schedule and cost performance (i.e. .08
schedule performance index variation vs. .16)
3. Good project management companies have lower direct costs
than poor project management companies (6-7% vs. 11-20%)
*Ibbs, William and Justin Reginato, Quantifying the Value of Project
Management (2002)
30. PM ROI Example*
• Company initially has PMM of 2.3, CPI of .71, profit margin of 5% ,
$10 M projected annual revenues
• Company improves PMM to 3.1, CPI to .94, profit margin to 6.6%at
a cost of $400,000
• PM ROI = (6.6%-5.0%)X$10,000,000 = 40%
$400,000
