The document discusses project cost management. It defines key terms like life cycle costing, value analysis, types of costs (variable, fixed, direct, indirect), and cost versus price. It also covers the processes of planning cost management, estimating costs, and controlling costs. Planning cost management establishes policies and procedures for managing project costs. Estimating costs develops an approximation of resources needed to complete project activities. Controlling costs involves monitoring and influencing changes to the project budget.
Here are the key steps to cost a WBS:
1. Estimate the cost of each work package or activity at the lowest level of the WBS using estimating techniques like analogous, parametric, bottom-up etc.
2. Assign resources like labor, materials, equipment to each activity and apply the appropriate cost rates.
3. Use project management software to automatically sum or "roll up" the costs of individual activities to higher levels and the total project cost.
4. The software allows viewing and reporting the costs against the WBS structure to identify areas that may need attention or re-estimating.
5. The costed WBS provides the basis for developing the project budget and cost baseline for monitoring
The document provides an overview of key components for an effective project charter, including objectives, scope, deliverables, timelines, budgets, resources, risks, and measures of success. An effective charter clearly defines the project goals, how it fits strategically, what work will be done, when it will be completed, who will work on it, potential challenges, and how success will be determined. The charter establishes a shared understanding and provides essential information to ensure project alignment, buy-in, and successful delivery.

The document discusses project risk management. It defines risk as a function of uniqueness and experience. There are two types of risks: business risks relating to gains/losses, and pure risks which only have downsides. The risk management process involves identifying risks early and throughout the project. Risks can then be avoided, mitigated, transferred to a third party, or accepted. Common risk responses include changing plans to avoid risks, reducing probability/impact of risks, assigning risks to third parties, and simply accepting small risks. Preparing for risks requires analyzing and prioritizing them based on likelihood and impact.
This document outlines the seven phases of the project life cycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closeout. It describes the key activities and outputs for each phase.

An Introduction to Project Management Krishna Kant
I have tried to present here a brief introduction of project management for the people who wish to get the flavor of project management and what it takes to be a successful project manager.
I have used these slides for the various project management sessions that I have conducted in different forums. And I hope this will help you to understand or re-cap your project management principles.
Project management involves clearly defining goals, tasks, timelines and budgets to deliver projects successfully. It uses tools like Gantt charts and PERT charts to track progress and reduce risks. A key part of project management is balancing the triple constraint of time, cost and scope, with quality as a central theme. Projects go through six phases from initiation to closure, and a project manager's role is to define the project, build the team, motivate them and monitor progress to deliver the project on time and on budget while meeting requirements.
Project risk analysis methodology and how RiskyProject software can be used for quantitative project risk analysis.

The project life cycle consists of four phases: initiation, planning, execution, and closure. The initiation phase involves establishing the business need, feasibility, terms of reference, project team, and office. The planning phase includes creating detailed plans for the project, resources, finances, quality, risks, acceptance, communications, and procurement. In the execution phase, deliverables are built while being monitored and controlled. Various management processes also occur. Finally, the closure phase involves performing project closure and reviewing project completion.
This document discusses project management and the key aspects of projects. It defines a project as a non-routine event with specific objectives that must be completed within a set timeframe. Project management is described as organizing people, equipment, and procedures to complete a project on time and on budget. The author notes that planning considerations for projects include objectives, available resources, costs, time constraints, and required tasks. Project management techniques help organizations meet goals efficiently by controlling resources and identifying necessary tasks and deadlines.
Introduction to project management( framework and processes )Qussay Karam
Project management involves balancing scope, schedule, budget, resources, quality and risk to achieve project objectives. It is accomplished through applying knowledge, skills, tools and techniques from the five process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. The project manager leads the project team and is responsible for meeting stakeholder needs and project requirements.
The document discusses the concepts of professional and social responsibility for project managers. It is broken into four categories: responsibility, respect, fairness, and honesty. For each category, it provides examples of behaviors that demonstrate adherence to or violations of that concept from the Project Management Body of Knowledge. It also addresses specific topics like cultural awareness, conflict of interest, integrity, and ethics violations. The overall message is that project managers must act with responsibility, respect, fairness and honesty to clients, teams and stakeholders.
The document discusses various economic criteria for selecting projects, including net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period, benefit-cost ratio, sunk costs, opportunity costs, depreciation, and economic value added (EVA). It provides examples and definitions for each concept. Various capital budgeting techniques are examined, including present value calculations. Methods for calculating depreciation such as straight-line, double declining balance, and sum of years digits are also summarized.

The process of directing and managing project work involves performing the work defined in the project management plan to achieve the project's objectives. The project manager directs the performance of planned project activities by using tools like expert judgment, a project management information system, and meetings. This provides overall management of the project work. Key inputs include the project management plan, approved change requests, and organizational factors. The main output is deliverables, along with work performance data, change requests, and project document updates.
This document discusses project stakeholder management. It describes the key processes as identify stakeholders, plan stakeholder management, manage stakeholder engagement, and control stakeholder engagement. The processes aim to effectively engage stakeholders throughout the project life cycle to increase the chances of project success. Identifying stakeholders involves analyzing who could impact or be impacted by the project. Planning stakeholder management develops strategies to engage stakeholders based on their needs and potential impact. Managing engagement involves communicating with stakeholders and addressing issues. Controlling engagement monitors stakeholder relationships and makes adjustments as needed.
The document discusses project quality management. It defines quality and differentiates it from grade. Quality must be planned for, not just inspected for. Several quality management tools are described that can be used in the Plan Quality process, including cost-benefit analysis, cost of quality analysis, seven basic quality tools like histograms and control charts, benchmarking, design of experiments, and statistical sampling. The key benefit of quality planning is that it provides guidance on how quality will be managed and validated throughout the project.
The document discusses project procurement management. It describes the key inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs for planning procurements. Some important points covered include:
- The project management plan, requirements documentation, risk register, and other documents are used as inputs to determine procurement needs.
- Tools like make-or-buy analysis, expert judgment, and market research help evaluate whether to outsource work or keep it in-house.
- The output is a procurement management plan that documents purchasing decisions and identifies potential suppliers.
The document discusses project time management processes. It provides details on defining activities, sequencing activities, and estimating activity resources. The key processes covered are:
- Define activities by breaking work packages into smaller activities that provide a basis for estimating, scheduling, executing, and controlling work.
- Sequence activities by identifying logical relationships between activities using techniques like precedence diagramming to develop a project schedule network.
- Estimate activity resources by determining what resources are needed, quantities, and availability to perform each activity. This allows more accurate cost and duration estimates.
The document discusses project risk management. It describes the processes of:
1. Planning risk management - Deciding how to approach and plan risk management activities.
2. Identifying risks - Determining risks that could affect the project.

This document provides an overview of project cost management based on the PMBOK Guide. It discusses the key processes involved, including plan cost management, estimate costs, determine budget, and control costs. For each process, it outlines the typical inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs. It also discusses important concepts like the cost management plan, cost baselines, earned value management, variance analysis, and estimating techniques. The overall purpose is to plan, estimate, budget, and control costs throughout the project life cycle.
Project Cost Management includes processes for planning, estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs throughout a project. The key processes are:
1. Plan Cost Management to establish policies and procedures for managing project costs.
2. Estimate Costs by developing approximations for completing project activities.
3. Determine Budget by aggregating activity cost estimates to establish a cost baseline.
4. Control Costs by monitoring costs, identifying variances from the baseline, and managing changes to keep costs within approved limits.
Plan Cost Management establishes the policies, procedures, and documentation for planning, managing, expending, and controlling project costs. It provides guidance on how project costs will be managed throughout the project. Estimate Cost develops an approximation of the monetary resources needed to complete project activities using techniques like expert judgment, analogous estimating, and three-point estimating. Determine Budget aggregates the estimated costs of activities to establish an authorized cost baseline against which performance can be monitored. Control Costs monitors project costs and manages changes to the cost baseline using earned value management, forecasting, and performance reviews to recognize variances and take corrective action.
Project cost management includes planning, estimating, budgeting, managing, and controlling costs to complete the project within budget. The estimate costs process develops approximations of the costs of resources needed to complete project work. It utilizes tools like expert judgment, analogous and parametric estimating, and cost of quality analysis. The key output is cost estimates, which provide a quantitative assessment of likely costs and contingency amounts to account for risks.
Project cost management includes planning, estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs to complete a project within its approved budget. A cost management plan establishes how project costs will be planned, structured, estimated, budgeted, and controlled. Cost estimates are developed by analyzing the resources needed to complete project activities using techniques like analogous estimating, parametric estimating, bottom-up estimating, and three-point estimating. Estimates are based on the project scope, schedule, risks, and other factors and are expressed in currency or other measurable units.

The main aim of this research study was to investigate the causes of illegal migrationn and its impacts in the
returnees who are living in Woliso town. To achieve these objectives, qualitative methods and Semi-structured in
depth interviews were held with a total of 25 women participants. Descriptive phenomenology was the approach
employed for conducting this study. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 25 returnees of illegal
emigrant f The Primary information was collected mainly from the migrants, Labour
and Social affairs office. Phenomenological method of analysis for study was used to analyze the data obtained
from the participants. The findings of the study revealed that there are a variety of contributory factors that led to
the emergence of migrant women from Ethiopia to Middle East countries. The result showed that the major factors
contributing to the migration and vulnerability of Ethiopian women to illegal emigration are lack of employment,
poverty, lack of prospects, the search for better opportunities and income to support themselves and their families

This document provides an overview of basic project management concepts. It discusses that a project has defined scope, time, cost, quality and resource constraints. The key aspects of project management include planning the work, working the plan, and endorsing the plan. The project manager's role is to manage expectations, direct the team, track progress, communicate status, and resolve issues. Effective project management balances the triple constraints of scope, time and cost. The project life cycle begins with initiation, which involves defining objectives, assembling a team, and getting approval. Planning then further develops the scope, schedule, budget, risks and other elements of the project.
- Cost is one of 3 Triple constraints of the project. Managing costs of the project is very crucial and hardest part of the project. It spans across all phases of the project right from conception to closure of the project.
- Cost Management is not just controlling “Costs”; it involves definitive planning and preparing budgets. Collecting cost associated data. Comparing the data to prepared budgets and taking appropriate actions when needed.
- The process involved in estimating, budgeting, and controlling cost so that the project can be completed within approved budget.
- Value analysis (value engineering)
• Looking at less costly way to do the same work within the same scope
IRJET- Application of Microsoft Project for Planning and Scheduling of a Resi...IRJET Journal
This document discusses planning and scheduling a residential construction project using Microsoft Project. It summarizes the key steps:
1) The activities of constructing two residential blocks were planned and scheduled in MSP, including allocating resources, determining task relationships, and generating a Gantt chart.
2) The total baseline duration of the project was estimated to be 632 days with a total cost of Rs. 154,394,081.
3) Planning and scheduling the project in MSP allowed determining the critical path and monitoring project progress and costs.
The document discusses project cost management, which involves planning, estimating, budgeting, financing, funding, managing and controlling costs to complete a project within an approved budget. It outlines the four main processes: 1) plan cost management, 2) estimate costs, 3) determine budget, and 4) control costs. Earned value management is a key technique for monitoring project performance and progress against the cost baseline.
This document provides an overview of key elements to include in a project plan. It discusses the following components: scope management, time (schedule) management, cost management, quality management, human resource management, communications management, risk management, and procurement management. The document emphasizes that a project plan involves more than just a schedule and that a project manager should select the most appropriate components based on the project. It provides brief descriptions of each component and considerations for implementation.
The document summarizes how economic conditions can impact project objectives and how projects must adapt. It discusses analyzing macroeconomic factors and a project's internal/external environments. When objectives change due to economic shifts, projects must re-align by prioritizing work and resources through techniques like value engineering. The example shows how value engineering identified cost-saving ideas for a construction project, reducing costs by 32% while maintaining quality and functionality.
The document summarizes how economic conditions can impact project objectives and how projects must adapt to changing economic environments. It provides an overview of key economic indicators and how fluctuations can influence factors like project costs. A practical example is given of adapting a project's cost objective in response to economic changes by applying value engineering techniques. Value engineering is defined as a systematic process to deliver necessary functions at the lowest overall cost by identifying functions, determining value, and finding the best balance of cost, reliability, and performance.
This document discusses challenges in implementing project risk management in Saudi Arabia. It begins with an overview of risk management concepts and processes. Major challenges to implementation include lack of project manager knowledge, limited qualified risk professionals, and inadequate communication and leadership. Best practices for risk management include clear requirements, realistic schedules and budgets, qualified teams and suppliers, and integrating risk management into project meetings and status reporting. Successful risk management requires organizational commitment, open communication, scaling efforts to project size, and viewing risk management as providing value.

3. To-complete performance index (TCPI)
In order to stay within budget, what rate must we meet for the
i i k?remaining work?
It is the calculated projection of cost performance that must be achieved on the
remaining work to meet a specified management goal, such as the BAC or the
EAC.
Equation for the TCPI based on the BAC:

4. Performance reviews
If EVM is being used, the following information is determined:
Variance analysis.
Trend analysis.
Earned value performance. Earned value performance.
5. Project management software
Project management software is often used to monitor the three EVM dimensions
(PV, EV, and AC), to display graphical trends, and to forecast a range of possible
final project results.
6 Reserve analysis6. Reserve analysis
Reserve analysis is used to monitor the status of contingency and management
reserves for the project to determine if these reserves are still needed or if
additional reserves need to be requested.

Q4: You provide a project cost estimate for the project to the project sponsor. He is
unhappy with the estimate, because he thinks the price should be lower. He asks you to
cut 15 percent off the project estimate. What should you do?
A Start the project and constantly look for cost savingsA. Start the project and constantly look for cost savings.
B. Tell all the team members to cut 15 percent from their estimates.
C Inform the sponsor of the activities to be cutC. Inform the sponsor of the activities to be cut.
D. Add additional resources with low hourly rates.

Q5: Although the stakeholders thought there was enough money in the budget, halfway
through the project the cost performance index (CPI) is 0.7. To determine the root
cause, several stakeholders audit the project and discover the project cost budget was
estimated analogously. Although the activity estimates add up to the project estimate,
the stakeholders think something was missing in how the estimate was completed.
Which of the following describes what was missing?
A. Estimated costs should be used to measure CPI.
B. SPI should be used, not CPI.
C. Bottom-up estimating should have been used.
D. Past history was not taken into account.
