Project Management Methods & Standards
Project management more than just a trendy term!
Project management today is more than just a trendy term. Projects are carried out in almost all companies. Project managers are temporary managers who have to meet very high demands because their tasks are always new and complex.
Managing projects successfully from preparation to start to finish – this includes more than just managing deadlines. Project management is understood to mean all organizational procedures and techniques associated with the successful handling of a complex project.
Many tasks in a company require a procedure that differs from the line organization and from well-rehearsed processes because they are associated with special requirements. In this case, these are projects. Although it is tempting to describe a line task as a project, this term should only be used for tasks that are characterized by
- the uniqueness and complexity of the task,
- a clear objective (benefit, performance, quality, revenue),
- time, financial, human and material resources,
- differentiation from other projects and
- a project-specific organization.
Essential elements of project management
- Clear definition of project goals
- Creation of clearly defined structures and processes
- Fixed/Personalized Project Authorizations and Responsibilities
- Transparent expenses and costs as well as capacities
- Targeted and open communication in the project
- Avoidance of disturbances and risks
- Better use of energy for project processing, which would otherwise be lost due to frictional losses in communication.
- Orientation of the department’s resources towards the company’s objectives
- Improvement of efficiency, transparency and coordination of all projects (multi project management)
- Adherence to the objectives in the individual projects with regard to results, deadlines, effort and productivity
- Orderly processing of changes in the project

In the case of several projects running simultaneously, the balance between the projects competing for resources is a separate management task. Since it can be assumed that many tasks are the same in the different projects. If the same learning processes are used, in multi-project coordination it is not only important to manage resources but also to discover synergies and make experience generally available.
