Overall management of information system projects
process
Develop project charter
The process of writing a formal document called the project charter. Formal approval of the project and authorizing the project manager to use organizational resources in project activities by issuing a project charter
Develop project management plan
The process of defining, preparing, and coordinating all subplans and integrating them into a comprehensive project management plan. The project management plan includes integrated project baselines and subplans
Direct and manage project work
The process of leading and executing the work identified in the project management plan and implementing approved changes to achieve project objectives
Monitor project work
The process of tracking, reviewing, and reporting project progress to achieve the performance objectives identified in the project management plan
Implement holistic change control
The process of reviewing all change requests, approving changes, managing changes to deliverables, organizational process assets, project documents, and project management plans, and communicating the results of change processing
End project or phase
The process of completing all activities of all project management process groups to formally close a project or phase
Overall project management overview
Project management includes several aspects such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk and procurement, but these aspects influence and restrict each other. Generally, a preliminary overall plan is developed first, and then each sub-plan is formulated in detail, and then integrated into a consistent overall plan using the overall management method.
"Holistic management" must also strive to balance the conflicting goals and solutions of each project.
There are often repeated connections between the sub-processes of each project management process group, such as scope, schedule, and cost that affect each other. The Planning process group provides the Executing process group with a formal project management plan early in the project, which is then updated as the project's performance changes.
Develop project charter
Project Charter
definition
It is the document that officially approves the project.
Authorizes the project manager to use the organization's resources in project activities
The project manager should always be assigned before planning begins, preferably when developing the project charter
Issued externally by the project implementing organization
Develop a document that formally approves the project or phase
Marks the official launch of the project
Project managers should be identified and appointed as early as possible
The project manager should be involved in developing the project charter
effect

End project or phase
definition
It is the process of completing all activities of all project management process groups to officially end the project or phase.
Summarize experiences and lessons learned, formally end all project work, and release organizational resources for new work
The project manager needs to review closing information from previous phases to ensure that all project work has been completed and that project objectives have been achieved.
If a project is terminated prematurely before completion, closing the project or phase will also require procedures to investigate and document the reasons for the premature termination.
To achieve the above objectives, the project manager should invite all appropriate stakeholders to participate in this process
Classification
management closing
Cover the entire project, and at the same time plan and prepare for the phased closure when each phase is completed; for internal purposes, document classification should be done, and externally declare that the project is over and can be transferred to the maintenance period, while summarizing experiences and lessons learned
Contract closing
Involves the settlement and suspension of contracts, procurement and buy-in agreements established for any project; also known as formal acceptance, product acceptance, according to the contract, the project team and the owner check to check whether all the requirements of the contract have been completed and whether the project can be transferred Finish
