1 3 Project Management Framework

Project Management Framework

Project Management Framework

The Project Management Framework is a structured approach to managing projects effectively. It encompasses three key concepts: Project Integration Management, Project Scope Management, and Project Schedule Management.

1. Project Integration Management

Project Integration Management involves coordinating all aspects of a project to ensure they work together seamlessly. This includes developing the project charter, creating the project management plan, directing and managing project execution, monitoring and controlling project work, and closing the project.

Example: Imagine you are organizing a charity event. Project Integration Management would involve coordinating the venue, catering, entertainment, and marketing to ensure everything comes together on the day of the event.

2. Project Scope Management

Project Scope Management focuses on defining and controlling what is included and excluded in the project. It involves processes such as planning the scope, collecting requirements, defining the scope, creating the work breakdown structure (WBS), and controlling the scope.

Example: If you are building a house, Project Scope Management would involve specifying the number of rooms, the type of materials to be used, and the overall design, ensuring that the final product meets the owner's expectations.

3. Project Schedule Management

Project Schedule Management involves managing the timeline of the project to ensure it is completed on time. This includes defining the activities, sequencing the activities, estimating activity durations, developing the schedule, and controlling the schedule.

Example: For a software development project, Project Schedule Management would involve setting milestones for each phase (e.g., design, development, testing, deployment) and ensuring that each phase is completed within the allocated time frame.
