Project Management and Why Should You Care About?

Project management such a job it seems to be highlighted on the public when it becomes fails. Different inquiries/committees are established to investigate the things on why projects fail. At last senior authorities appeared in the news to apologize for major cost overruns in public projects.

You might be thinking that project management would be something that can be avoided!

But as an entrepreneur it is one of the most important skills they  need to seek out as their organization growth. Unfortunately, it is also one among the least understood skills that a typical entrepreneurs bring to the table and it is the last skill to build their business as they thought.

What is project management? And why should you care about?

One might think from the term that project management is managing projects. However, that is portfolio management. Project management is very much difficult task and complex discipline. 

In this article, I'm going to define project management, and explain how it differs from normal business management. Along with this, will also explain you, why as an entrepreneur, need to encourage its development within your business.

A project is a business endeavor, which produces a unique product, service or result. So far, that isn't very helpful. Most business operations do that. However, a project has two key characteristics which is eventually not common.

First, it is temporary. It has a beginning and an end. Most business operations do not have an end. Or at least one hopes not. Normally, business operations begin during the entrepreneurial phase of the business. But they quickly settle into a permanent routine. Project management, however, does not deal with the routine.

Secondly, projects are unique. It does exist to create a single product, different from all other. An operating business is all about repetition. It's about creating the same product over and above. In this way, the process can be refined only.

The simple and very effective concept is building your business is a project. It started as a beginning that is when you first conceived the business means get this project and it has also an ending that is when the business moves into the growth and stability phases and it gives a unique result.

Project management, is about to manage under two conditions.

Normal operating management is concerned with repeating the same thing over a long period and it increase the proper skills and knowledge to deal with that. For example, a manager wants to keep his team happy and producing at their maximum by effort. He rarely if ever deals with the initial building of a team and hopefully, he never has to deal with the end of his team.

However the project management is concerned with building a unique result in a cycle of creation, doing in an organizational way. It builds up with appropriate skills and knowledge to deal with beginning and ending a cycle.

On the view of an entrepreneur’s, there are two major points of interest. First, building a company is a project. During that project, the entrepreneur has to involve in both strategic and operational way. However, managing the process to build up a business is basically called project management.

It doesn't end with building the business.

In each and every business, there must be needed to identify what is going on around the organization and how the business should react. This is called strategic management. Its focus is on change and the future.

On the other hand, the organization needs to carry out its current function. This is the role of the operational elements of the business. Marketing, accounting, production are also concerned with day today process.

Conclusion

However, operations can't be allowed to stay running in the place. The plans, goals and strategies identified by the strategic managers need to be implemented. This is the role of project management. And that’s why an entrepreneur needs to ensure that project management skills are available to the organization as quickly as possible.
