CLASSMATE'S POST
No, I do not believe that a project could be successful without the five-project management process. With any project to be successful, the project team should formulate the five-project management process because if not used it could negatively impact the project. Following an outline that allows the project manager to navigate each phase of the project is necessary for efficiency. Tuner, (2016 p. 6.), suggests that for there to be quality performance in the project, the quality of the asset must be managed and performed with quality standards by the project manager. The five-project management process includes:
· Planning which is the first step where project manages explore concepts for a new project and ascertain the scope of work needed to manage the project efficiently.
· Organize the resources, which entail managing the utilization of the finances in addition to managing individuals and material appropriately.
· Implementation of assigning work to people, which entails grouping the person that is most qualified to perform a task during the project.
· Control process entails the ability to forecast and have knowledge and understanding of monitoring the projects time and cost results within the project. Using the tools described here, the project manager can communicate ideas and solutions within the team for effective management.
· Lead and manage is the responsibility of the project manager who leads and manages the project from beginning to end. The project manager is also responsible for the planning of the project, the team, scope, verifying ricks and resources for the project. I believe the project manager should be competent with communicating to the them where clear objectives are outlined in addition to the ability to anticipate issues that arise and control them accordingly, so the will not affect the project. Last, to lead and manage is the responsibility of the project manager to see the project through from the beginning to the end.
