Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements. Project management objectives are the successful development of the project’s procedures of initiation, planning, execution, regulation and closure as well as the guidance of the project team’s operations towards achieving all the agreed upon goals within the set scope, time, quality and budget standards. The primary constraints are scope, time, quality and budget. The secondary — and more ambitious — challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and integrate them to meet pre-defined objectives.

The Project Management Process
Project management is a complex undertaking, with many stages and processes. It should follow the full business lifecycle, from definition and justification of the project, through to delivering demonstrable benefits for the business.
The project manager’s skills are essential from the beginning. The defined approach and its business case will rely on a good understanding of the project process along with reliable estimating and carefully considered planning.
Few organisations get the most out of their programs and projects. Intelligently adapting a company’s current approach to adopt the features of best-practice management approaches can lead to considerable benefits. ATASH ENTERPRISES can assist your company to get full value from your investment of time and resources.
The Project Management Tools
Critical Path Technique
Tracking existing risk, identifying new risks, monitoring the effects of previous risk control activities and evaluating how effective the current risk management processes.
Project Management Gantt Chart
A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts also show the dependency relationships between activities and current schedule status.
Program Evaluation & Review Technique
The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management, which was designed to analyse and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project
Executing The Project
- Executing the baseline project plan. The job of the project manager is to initiate the execution of project activities, acquire and assign resources, orient and train new team members, keep the project on schedule, and assure the quality of project deliverables.
- Monitoring project progress against the baseline project plan. Using Gantt and PERT charts, can assist the project manager.
- Managing changes to the baseline project plan
- Maintaining the project workbook. Maintaining complete records of all project events is necessary. The project workbook is the primary source of information for producing all project reports.
- Communicating the project status. This means that the entire project plan should be shared with the entire project team and any revisions to the plan should be communicated to all interested parties so that everyone understands how the plan is evolving.
Closing A Project
- The closing phase of project management is the final phase of the project lifecycle. This is the stage where all deliverables are finalised and formally transferred, and all documentation is signed off, approved, and archived.
- The Close Project or Phase process is another one where the Project Manager takes center stage and will be checking that that all project work is completed and that the project has met its objectives, including work and objectives that were added along the way as the result of approved change requests.
- This is where having the right personnel leading the project can bring together all deliverables, tell the story of the project and know when it’s time to release resources and move on. ATASH ENTERPRISES is your source for the right person to manage your project.

A key factor that distinguishes project management from just ‘management’ is that it has this final deliverable and a finite timespan, unlike management which is an ongoing process. Because of this a project professional needs a wide range of skills; often technical skills, and certainly people management skills and good business awareness. ATASH once again has the experience and best practices to support this critical step.
