Project Management

Our profession (design) has us mostly make new things, made up of Projects.

"Project mamagement is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives."

3 keys to success:
Bring Project, On Time and On Budget!
Cost, time or quality, pick 2!
Project mamagement comes from the military and construction field.

We are to cultivate ourselves to be team leaders, a motivating leader that people want to work with.
Work breakdown structure; Divide and Conquer!
S>M>A>R>T> Goals: does it meet these five criteria:

1. Specific?
2. Measurable?
3. Agreed Upon?
4. Realistic?
5. Timeframe?

A Gantt chart shows scheduling methods and a Pett chart shows sequence.
