There are clear "start" and "stop" time nodes, regardless of the length of time;

As long as there are differences in the production process or results, it is possible to use "the same team members", "the same technology", "the same production process", or even produce "the same results".

Address factors affecting the organization's ongoing operations and business strategy:

Project management focuses on the interdependencies of the project itself to determine the best way to manage it.

Program management focuses on the dependencies between the component projects and the programs to determine the best way to manage those projects.

A program is a group of related projects that are managed in a coordinated manner to achieve benefits and control that would not be possible if the projects were managed individually.

A program may include related work outside the scope of the individual projects in the program, such as managing the program itself.

Program managers do not manage projects but coordinate integration or conflicting work between projects. The program manager manages the project manager.

Project portfolio management refers to centralized management to achieve strategic goals. The programs or projects in a portfolio are not necessarily dependent on or directly related to each other. When conducting organizational and portfolio planning, portfolio components are prioritized based on risk, funding, and other considerations.

The programs or projects in a portfolio are not necessarily dependent on or directly related to each other. When conducting organizational and portfolio planning, portfolio components are prioritized based on risk, funding, and other considerations.

The goal of project portfolio management is to ensure that the group is "doing the right things" rather than focusing on how to "do things right".

Conducted at the end of a project phase, the project's performance and progress are compared with project and business documents to determine whether it can move to the next phase.

Documents include: project business case; project charter; project management plan; benefit management plan.

A needs assessment is usually conducted before a business case and involves understanding business goals and objectives, problems and opportunities, and making recommendations for how to deal with them. The results of the needs assessment may be summarized in a business case document.

Refers to a documented economic feasibility study report, used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the benefits of a selected solution that lacks sufficient definition, and is the basis for initiating subsequent project management activities. For example, cost-benefit analysis data.

① After passing the business case before starting the project, a decision to continue/terminate the project may be made.

②The business case is a project business document that can be used throughout the project life cycle.

③The business case lists the goals and reasons for launching the project. It helps measure the success of the project against the project objectives at the end of the project.

The project benefits management plan describes how and when the project will achieve benefits, as well as the benefit measurement mechanisms that should be developed.

It describes the key elements of effectiveness:

Developing a benefits management plan requires the use of data and information from the business case and needs assessment.

The development and maintenance of a project benefits management plan is an iterative activity. It is a complementary document to the business case, project charter and project management plan.

The project manager works with the sponsor to ensure that the project charter, project management plan, and benefits management plan remain consistent throughout the project life cycle.

The project charter is a document issued by the project sponsor that formally approves the establishment of the project and authorizes the project manager to use organizational resources to carry out project activities.

A project management plan is a document that describes how a project will be executed, monitored, and controlled.

Determining whether a project is successful is one of the most common challenges in project management. Project management measurements such as time, cost, scope, and quality have historically been viewed as the most important factors in determining project success.

Key stakeholders and project managers should consider the following three questions.

Project success may involve other criteria related to organizational strategy and delivery of business results. These project goals may include (but are not limited to):
