What is a Project? A Project is a temporary group of activities designed to produce a unique
product, service, or result
A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources
The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations) which are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services
The end is reached when the projects objectives have been achieved, or when the project is canceled, or when the need for the project no longer exists
-

Relationships between Project, Program, and Portfolio (1 of 2) A project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique result
A program is a group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually.
The key linkage between a Program and a Project is the Program Plan
A portfolio is a collection of programs and/or projects that align with an organizations investment strategy
The key linkage between a portfolio and its programs and projects is the Portfolio Budget

Relationships between Project, Program, and Portfolio (2 of 2) The relationship between these three entities can be visualized by the
picture below:
In Flowserve, we primarily use Portfolios & Projects. Future opportunities for utilizing Programs
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 7
Portfolio Management Portfolio management is the management of one or more portfolios
Portfolio management focuses on making sure that programs and projects
are prioritized for resources to serve the organizations strategy
Just as a program is managed by a program manager, a portfolio is managed by a portfolio director or manager.
A portfolio manager worries about the success of the whole strategy put forth by the organization rather than solely of the success of a single project (like what project managers do)
In Flowserve, the R&D Portfolio is segmented and managed by Product/Sector Directors and AT Directors

What is Project Management?
Project management is about getting things done!
Project Management is the disciple of planning, executing, managing resources, and controlling & monitoring of the scope, budget and time to achieve specific goals
Project management is built upon the fundamentals of the Triple Constraint:
A project has a specific objective that is meant to be completed referencing certain specifications (scope)
A project utilizes specific resources, both human and monetary (cost) A project has a defined timeframe, with definitive start and end dates (time)
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 9
Triple Constraint (1 of 3)
The challenge of every project is to be successful within the Triple Constraint; the Triple Constraint being scope (quality), cost (resources) and time (schedule). These three elements of a project must work in tandem with one another
Where one of these elements is restricted or extended, the other two elements will then also need to be either extended/increased in some way or restricted/reduced in some way
There is a balancing of the three elements that only when fully understood allows for the successful planning, resourcing and execution of a project
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 10
Triple Constraint (2 of 3) Scope/Quality:
The scope of a project (often called the Statement of Work (SOW)) is a clear, specific statement as to what has been agreed to be performed/achieved in a particular project.
Quality metrics/KPIs are used to measure performance against defined scope
Cost/Resources: This second element of the Triple Constraint is known as either Cost or Resources.
When we talk about the cost of a project, we are talking about personnel, material, and equipment
Time/Schedule: This third element of the Triple Constraint is known as either Time or Schedule. Time, in project management, is defining the duration to each and every component of a project.
By mastering the Triple Constraint, you master the project itself
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 11
Triple Constraint (3 of 3) What steps can a project manager take to ensure successful project delivery knowing how the three attributes affect each other?
Understand the Triple Constraint
The project manager MUST be fully conscious of the fact that scope, time and cost are fully inter-related and that the triple constraint dictates any adjustment to any of those items MUST affect the other
Convey the Triple Constraint
It is imperative that the project manager convey that information to the project stakeholders
Stakeholders (definition): key individuals that have a vested interest in the successful outcome of the project or have key deliverables that make up a broader Project; to be discussed in details in a later section)
Monitor the Triple Constraint
The project manager must stay on top of all the key attributes of the triple constraint
The project manager must be conscious of any fluctuations to the triple constraint elements

How Does One Determine If a Project Was Successful?
The key objectives that determine the project is successful are: The project met its requirements as described in the scope document The project was completed on or ahead of schedule The project was completed within budget The project met or exceeded customers expectations
Proper planning in advance will increase probability of success
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 13
What is the Role of a Project Manager? The project manager will plan, execute, monitor & control, direct, and
ensure the successful outcome of their assigned projects by: Managing team resources (cost) Delivering to the approved budget Delivering to the approved schedule Delivering to the approved project scope and meeting or exceeding customers
expectations
Provide project leadership that encourages team enthusiasm and innovation
A person who leads One who understands the importance of "people" to the success of a project One who is in charge or in command of others Person who convinces other people to follow A person who guides or directs group(s)
Ensure compliance of project execution with Flowserve policies
Collaborate and communicate with project teams as well as stakeholders and business executives

Product and Project Life Cycle (1 of 2) The terms Product life cycle and Project life cycle sound quite similar, but
in fact, are very different from one another
Product Life Cycle The product life cycle reflects the phases involved in any type of product
The five phases of a product's life cycle are:
Development, Introduction, Growth, Maturity, and Decline
There is no set time span for a given stage; the entire cycle may last
months to years depending on the product
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 16
Product and Project Life Cycle (2 of 2)
Project Life Cycle A project life cycle measures the work that goes into a project from
beginning to end to accomplish the projects goals or objectives
Project activities are grouped into phases so that the project manager and the project core team can efficiently plan and organize resources for each activity
By planning activities by phases the project manager and the project core team can objectively measure achievement of deliverables so the Project Approval Committee (PAC) can make informed decisions to move ahead, correct, or cancel the project

Project Life Cycle and Relationship with Product Development Process (PDP) Life Cycle (1 of 2)
The PMBOK Guide identifies project management as being broken down into five specific parts, or Process Groups:
Initiating Process Group, Planning Process Group, Executing Process Group, Monitoring & Controlling Process Group, and Closing Process Group.
These five process groups make up the functional life-cycle of the project
There are other standards available that describe the project management processes, tools, and techniques. Here are the links: http://www.pmi.org; www.prince2.com; www.p3m3-officialsite.com;

Initiating Process Group
The Initiation Process Group consists of two processes that are intended to begin a project. The two defined processes are often performed simultaneously
In this stage the projects champion (e.g. Product Director) defines what the project is and what the customer hopes to achieve by undertaking the project
Develop Project Charter
Identify Stakeholders
Initiating Process Group
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 22
Project Charter (1 of 2) The project charter is a formal document issued by the projects champion
that authorizes the project and appoints the project manager
When signed off, the project charter gives the project life
The project charter documents the business needs, current understanding of the customers needs, the new product, service, or result that it is intended to satisfy, defines constraints and identifies the major stakeholders involved
The charter gives the project manager and the Project Core Team the high-level scope, cost, and schedule window from which to operate.
If events change those overall parameters, the sponsors must be contacted to approve the changes
According to Project Management Institute (PMI), if there is no project charter, there is no project
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 23
Project Charter (2 of 2)
Typically, the project charter includes the following: Scope (requirements) of the project Any constraints and assumptions Project justification Summary of project costs and benefits High-level timeline for key milestones High-level project risks Assigned project manager, responsibility, and authority level Name and authority of the champion or other person(s) authorizing the project charter
Project Charter provides the boundaries for the Triple Constraint
For Flowserve R&D Projects, the high-level timeline for key milestones, should include as a minimum the target dates for any gate reviews, production start date, and market launch date
-

Stakeholders (1 of 6) One of the first steps in project management planning is identifying the
stakeholders How to Identify Key Stakeholders? A few key questions the project manager have to ask when attempting to
identify the stakeholder list are: G: Who has something to Gain from this project? R: Who controls or provides or procures Resources, equipment, facilities, etc.? A: Who is Affected positively or negatively by the project? M: Who makes the Money decisions? P: Who has the Power to make the project succeed? PO: Who are the ultimate Process Owners?
Process owners are often left out of the loop

Stakeholders (2 of 6)
How Many Stakeholders will there be? Aside from the several key stakeholders who will normally stick with you
to the end, there will be numerous others at different levels of importance who will migrate in and out
If your project is controversial youll find that, like bees drawn to honey, any number of stakeholders will appear from nowhere
External stakeholders include customers, suppliers, partners, government, local community

The Stakeholder Analysis Stakeholder Analysis is a technique used to identify the key people who
have to be won over
How to Use the Tool Step 1 Identify Your Stakeholders Covered in slide the earlier slide
Step 2 Prioritize Your Stakeholders The next step is to work out their power, influence and interest, so you
know who you should focus on
Some of the stakeholders may be interested in what you are doing, others may not care

Stakeholders (5 of 6) Step 3 Construct a matrix to identify your stakeholders influence and
interest using a Power/Interest Grid as shown below:

Stakeholders (6 of 6)
Step 4 Working with Stakeholders The project manager needs to define an effective communication plan to
engage with the stakeholders
Having periodic demos of the deliverable (if possible) is also an excellent way for the stakeholders to see the end result manifest itself.
It will also enable them to have a more tangible frame of reference for discussion should issues arise with the core design or implementation of the end deliverable.
It is imperative that stakeholders are consistently kept up to date on the
progress of the project and brought in on a regular basis for discussions and follow-ups as things mature.

Page 33
Define Project Scope
A critical element of any project is gathering the business requirements and creating a clear picture of what needs to be delivered.
The project scope statement, which is sometimes called statement of work (SOW), describes in detail the projects deliverables and the work required to create those deliverables
The SOW explains the boundaries of the project, establishes responsibilities for each team member and sets up procedures for how completed work will be verified and approved
The SOW also provides a common understanding of the project scope among project stakeholders
The scope statement also provides the project team with guidelines for making decisions about change requests during the project.
Scope statement is included within the project's charter.

Create Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) (1 of 4) One way to get a clear picture of all of the work that needs to be done on
a project is to create a work breakdown structure (WBS)
The two most common ways of visualizing the work are by deliverables or by phases
For R&D projects, by Phase is the recommended method
WBS is the process of subdividing project work into smaller, more manageable components called work packages (i.e. Phases within the project, Steps within each Phase, Tasks within each Step, and Systems, Sub-systems, or Components
The work package level is the lowest level in the WBS, and is the point at which the cost and activity durations for the work can be reliably estimated and managed.
The WBS is one of the most important pieces of the project planning!

Define Activities (1 of 2)
Define activities is the process of creating a complete list of the project deliverables
The list, known as activity list, is a comprehensive list that includes all schedule activities that are planned to be performed on the project
To create this list, each work package at the bottom of the WBS is decomposed into schedule activities
An activity is typically described using a noun and verb such as create report.

Determine Sequence of Activities Sequence Activities is the process of identifying relationships among the
project activities
During sequence activities, the focus is to arrange the activities in the most efficient and effective order
Every activity and milestone are connected to at least one predecessor and one successor
The network diagram is a schematic of project activities. It shows how the various activities are connected
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 41
Estimate Required Resources (1 of 2)
The next step after creating the WBS and the activity list is to determine all the resources required to support the project
Examine the projects needs in terms of personnel, material, and equipment, how much of each you require, and when you need it
Resource needs should be defined on a Phase-by-Phase basis.
How to fulfill resource requests? Functional Managers can approve or deny resource requests
When negotiating resources with the Functional Manager, the Project Manager should clearly communicate the priority of their project. Resources are assigned based on project priorities
Once resources are assigned to a project, these resources now report to the Project Manager

Estimate Activities Duration (1 of 2) The next step is to estimate the number of work days (or hours) to
complete each activity
That estimation then rolls up to create the high level estimates
When estimating an activitys duration, make sure activity owner gives input and feels ownership of their deliverables People are more likely to deliver on commitments that they have made rather than on
commitments that were made on their behalf!
There is a fundamental formula that ties together the duration of an activity against the amount of work effort required, and the resources needed to complete the work:
Activity duration = work effort/human units.
Most people subconsciously add padding to their estimates, and due to Parkinsons Law (i.e. work expands to fill the time scheduled), this extra time will be used up unnecessarily. Also, due to the Student Syndrome, people will wait until the last minute to accomplish their work. The Project Manager needs to take this into account when estimating activities durations!

Develop Schedule (1 of 4) At this point, the what (WBS and activity list), what order (sequence
activities), when (start and finish dates), who (resources), come together and the schedule is born
The schedule tells you when each activity should be done, what has already been completed, and the sequence in which things need to be finished
Creating the master project schedule is a team effort. Each member of the Project Core Team should be involved in this process
The master project schedule should be updated and maintained on a regular basis
The schedule transforms the project from a vision to a time-based plan
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 46
Develop Schedule (2 of 4) Critical Path Method Every project schedule has critical path(s).
Critical path is the longest path (string of activities) on the project network diagram
Every single activity on the critical path must finish on time in order for the project to come in on time. A delay in any one of the critical path activities will cause the entire project to be delayed
Once youve figured out the critical path, then you can calculate the float. The float for any activity is the amount of time (slack) that it can slip before it causes
your project to be delayed The float for every activity in the critical path is zero
The float for every activity in the critical path is zero

Scheduling Tools & Techniques Schedule Compression
These tool helps shorten the total duration of a project by decreasing the time allotted for certain activities. It's done so that you can meet time constraints, and still keep the original scope of the project. You can use two methods here:
Crashing: This is where you assign more resources to an activity, thus decreasing the time it takes
to complete it. This is based on the assumption that the time you save will offset the added resource
costs. Crashing only works for activities where additional resources will shorten the duration.
Crashing does not always produce a viable alternative and may result in increased risk and/or cost.
Fast-Tracking: This involves rearranging activities to allow more parallel work. This means that things
you would normally do one after another are now done at the same time. This approach may result in rework and increased risk. Fast tracking only works if activities can be overlapped to shorten the duration.

Page 50
Estimate Costs (1 of 3) Estimate Costs is the process of developing an approximation of the
monetary resources needed to complete project activities.
Costs are estimated for all resources that will be charged to the project. This includes salary expense (i.e. labor), non-salary expense (i.e. materials, services), and capital (equipment, facilities)
The accuracy of a project estimate will increase as the project progresses through the project life cycle
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 51
Estimate Costs (2 of 3) There are a number of cost estimating techniques the Project Manager
and Project Core team can use to establish activity cost estimates. Most common ones are:
Bottom-Up Estimating The cost of individual deliverables is estimated with the greatest level of specific detail.
The detailed cost is them summarized or rolled up to create a total project estimate Historical Base Estimating This technique is used when there is a limited amount of detailed information about the
project. This technique uses historical information and expert judgment Its a high level estimate, not a detailed estimate

Determine Budget
The estimated budget (forecast) is the sum up of the estimated costs of all the individual activities or work packages
Project budgets constitute the funds authorized to execute the project
The cost baseline established the basis for measuring, monitoring, and controlling project cost
Changes to the scope of the project will most often have a direct impact on the budget and the forecast

Plan Communications (1 of 3)
Plan Communications is the process of determining project stakeholder information needs and defining a communication approach
Communication is vital for a successful project
One of the many factors that contribute to the failure of projects is poor or insufficient communication.
Careful communication planning and setting the right expectations with all the project stakeholders is extremely important
Face-to-face initial communication (i.e. kickoff meetings), if feasible, to establish the team dynamics and learning the customers and stakeholders expectations are the keys to success when managing a project

Plan Communications (2 of 3)
Communication Channels Communication is a complex part of any project. The more people
involved in a project, the greater the communication among them The formula for this relationship is N* (N-1)/2; where N being the number of people on
the project. For example, 4 People, 6 Channels

Plan Communications (3 of 3)
Communication Types A challenge the project manager faces is to determine what type of
communication channel should he/she opt for in order to carryout effective communication.
Some of the most common communication types are:
Communication Types
Formal (reports, memos)
Informal (emails)
Official (monthly reports)
Face-to-Face Verbal & non-verbal
(body language)
Lync
Video Conferencing
Discussion Forums

Identify Risks (1 of 2) Risk is an event with some degree of uncertainty. It may or may not occur
A positive risk is an opportunity; a negative risk is a threat Example of a positive risk event is the growth from the sales of a new product exceeding
expectations
Every project, regardless of scope or complexity, is going to have some inherent risks
The project manager and the project core team have to identify, classify, prioritize, mitigate, and monitor and control the project risks
Risks themselves can be from factors internal to the project, such as the adoption of a new technology, resource constraints, and internal dependencies
Additionally, risks can also be external, such as the health of the financial markets, competitive pressures, or legal liabilities
All Risks should be documented in the Risk Register
-

Page 58
Identify Risks (2 of 2) Risk Management Process The project manager and project core team proactively plan how to
identify, rank, and address risks issues on a project.
The steps the project manager and project core team should follow to perform risk assessment are:
Identification Perform a brainstorming session where all conceivable risks are itemized Planning - Once defined, plan for contingencies as part of the overall project plan;
implement controls as needed Derive Safeguards Place specific fallbacks into the overall project plan as
contingencies for risks if they arise Monitor Continuously monitor the project to determine if any defined (or un-
expected) risks manifest themselves

Direct and Manage Project Execution This is the official start of actual implementation
This is the point where we have moved from the theory of how we envisioned the project to move forward to the actual practice, where the engine is running and we are on the road
All planning activities are now mature, work assignments should have now been made and all parties should have full understanding of their role and duties as it pertains to this project.
This is where the majority of the project budget is expended and most of the project time is spent.
This is where the plan is carried out

Page 62
Acquire Project Team
Is the process of obtaining the resources (personnel, material, and equipment) needed to complete the project. This process should be started early on in the project.
As resources get allocated to do the actual work, the resource can charge time against the project.
In the event the project manager and Functional Managers are unable to complete the allocation of resources, the project manager should escalate the issue to the PAC.
In Planning, you identify the resources you need.
In Executing, you allocate the resources

Develop Project Team
People are the wildcards on projects
How you manage and integrate people into a team environment is important to your success as a project manager
Good team dynamics start with an effective project manager
Establishing an effective team involves defining a clear purpose, goals, dependencies and accountability
Enhancing the communication and interactions among the team members helps with the ultimate successful completion of the project
-

Page 64
Manage Project Team
Holding People Accountable Solicit the approval of the Functional Manager when you ask the person to
accept responsibility for a task. When you do so correctly and at the right time, you can improve the chances for success.
If you run into trouble with getting the resources to get the work done, you need to coach them like any Functional Manager will coach their team members.
If all else fails, go to the Functional Manager!

Change Request (1 of 5)
A change request is a formally proposed change to the scope of a project as a result of a proactive response to a risk, a reactive response to an issue, or a requested modification due to market changes, new ideas, opportunities.
If the requested changes would affect the current gate and would jeopardizing the ability of the project manager and the Project Core team to deliver within the tolerance of the approved project scope, cost, and schedule, then the project manager shall request an Interim Gate Review to seek approval
If the changes are approved, the project manager and the project core team then need to manage the effects of those changes on the Triple Constraint elements: scope, budget, and schedule
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 72
Change Request (2 of 5)
Quantifying the Change Request The project manager and the Project Core Team shall investigate the scope
change request and define the impact to scope, cost, and schedule of the request
The investigation shall include analysis of risks/opportunities associated with the scope change requested
Risk contingencies should be documented and managed through the change request process!

Page 73
Change Request (3 of 5)
Quantifying the Change Request (continued) Be aware of scope creep!
Scope creep also known as feature creep, focus creep, creeping functionality and kitchen-sink syndrome can sneak up, alter and destroy a project.
Scope creep is the piling up of unapproved changes that by themselves are manageable, but in aggregate are significant.
You can expect there to be a degree of scope creep in most projects, therefore it is important to use the change request process to document and manage ALL changes. Every single change that is requested will need to be reviewed and approved by the Project Manager.
Gold Plating: This term is given to the practice of exceeding the scope of a project in the belief that value is being added. Gold plating is a scope creep!

Change Request (4 of 5)
Defining Response Options For a scope/change request, the Project Manager and the Project Core
Team shall determine the most appropriate project response: Accept the request Reject the Defer the request
Implementing Response Plans For accepted requests, the Project Core Team shall brainstorm multiple
methods to deliver the required attributes driven by the change request
Project manager is to ensure that the project scope, budget, and schedule are updated to reflect the approved changes
If the project schedule is updated to reflect approved change control, a new baseline schedule may be required

Verify Scope
The primary purpose of this process is to formalize acceptance of the completed project deliverables
The deliverables are examined and verified to the acceptance criteria as outlined scope baseline
If the deliverables are satisfactory, the output is Accepted Deliverables.
If the deliverables are unacceptable, the project manager and project core team should identify root cause and determine corrective actions and/or how to repair the component defects
Often, these corrective actions will result in changes to a projects scope,
cost, or schedule. It is imperative that all of the findings are detailed and communicated to the stakeholders so changes can be reviewed, approved, and implemented in the project scope plan
-

Page 77
Control Schedule
Control Schedule is the process of monitoring the status of the project to update project progress and managing changes to the schedule baseline
The Project Manager is the owner of the master schedule
Meet with Project Team members individually as required to see how their tasks are progressing
Review the master schedule at each Core Team meeting.
Track progress of executing the schedule (identify delays, accelerations, changes, and preparation for upcoming events)
This process is carried out throughout the project after the schedule has been developed and continues until all schedule activities have been completed.
-
2014 Flowserve Corporation CONFIDENTIAL
Page 78
Control Cost Control Cost is the process of monitoring the project budget and managing
changes to the cost baseline
The project manager needs to monitor and control the budget and to make sure that you compare the actual cost with the baseline cost in order to make sure your project stays within funding limitations
Once you find that there is a variance from the baseline you must determine what caused the variance and therefore decide what the most appropriate response is.
Dont just wait for variances to occur, but influence and control the factors that contribute to the variance.
This process is all about cost variances. A positive variance is good, a
negative variance is bad.

Report Performance (1 of 10) Reporting on project performance is a vital communications need of project
stakeholders to keep them abreast of progress and the resources used in accomplishing the project objectives
Managing a successful project involves a clear understanding of the health of a projects scope, cost, and schedule
When reporting performance metrics, be sure to include the kinds of information and level of detail required by the project stakeholders.
The frequency of reporting this information is decided according to project stakeholders
The more common measures of project performance are: Progress reporting describing the accomplishments of the project team for a given time
period. Status reporting describing where the project is at a given point in time. Project forecasting predicting the future of the project based upon past information and the
projects history.

Report Performance (2 of 10) Schedule Progress Two popular methods for tracking progress of tasks or activities in a
project schedule: by percent complete and by work remaining
Tracking Tasks by Percent Complete: If a task is given two weeks to complete and one week has already passed, then the task
is assumed to be 50% complete Progress is assumed to be spread evenly throughout the time allotted and without
interruption. Unfortunately, most projects do not work this way
Tracking Tasks by Work Remaining: The resource assigned to the task must assess how much real work is remaining and if
that work can be completed by the schedule date What a project manager really wants to know is:
"How many total days of real work does the task require?" "How many days of real work are remaining?", and "Can the remaining work be done by the scheduled finish date? Asking these question regularly allows the project manager to get a better sense of true percentage

Report Performance (3 of 10) RAIL (Rolling Action Item List): How can the project manager ensure that his/her team does not find itself
behind schedule or delayed from reaching success? By using a Rolling Action Item List (RAIL) as a tool to drive results
How to Create a RAIL (most common format Excel)?
Action item #: This is simply a tracking number for each action item
Action Description: This should be as short as reasonably possible. It needs to be action oriented and descriptive enough so that you dont
forget what you were talking about during past meetings Owner:
This needs to be designated to a specific individual, not a team This doesn't mean that the person designated with the responsibility is the one doing all or any of the work. However, the
owner is responsible for making sure it gets done within the time frame mentioned Date Assigned/Due Date:
Ask the action owner when they can commit to getting the action done. This is part of the buy-in process (i.e. accountability)
Note: The due date should never change once it is agreed upon. Any updates to the original due date should be reflected in the status/notes section
Status/Notes: This is where you can provide interim updates on the status and any issues that may impact rescheduling of the
action. This is a great way to communicate updates to the team Open/Closed:
This is to indicate whether the action item is open or closed Note: Do not delete closed action items, hide them

Report Performance (5 of 10) Project Forecasting Project forecasting is used to predict a projects status, progress and
health. Forecasting answers questions such as: How long will it take to finish this project based upon the current information and trends? How much more money will be needed to finish this project based upon the current spend trend? What additional resource commitments will be needed?
Project Variance The difference between all estimated and all actual dollars. It is calculated by
subtracting the Forecast Total from the Total Current Budget. A positive variance means that the actual cost of the product is less than the budgeted cost. A negative variance means that the actual cost of the product is greater than the budgeted cost.
Whether positive or negative variance, the Project Manager needs to understand what is causing variance and take proactive steps to keep it under control.
The Project Manager must be able to explain the cause of variance to stakeholders and determine if corrective actions need to be taken to maintain the projects budget.

Report Performance (6 of 10) Time Reporting (Salary Expense) In order to properly track the progress of work, time reporting is needed
to gather hours spent on assigned tasks
Resources that are assigned work on a project must enter in a timesheet (manually or directly into Planview) the time they spent on their tasks.
It is important that resources accurately record their time
Another component of accuracy, is to ensure that resources are reporting against the right task
Resources are encouraged to capture their time on a weekly basis!
Accuracy of timesheet information allows the project manager to better understand whats happening on the activity and adjust the schedule and resource workload accordingly

Closing Process Group
The Closing Process Group consists of two processes that are intended to end or close a project.
The primary purpose that these Closing processes are performed is to authorize the project (or phase) to end.
The processes with dotted lines will be discussed in PM 201 and/or PM301.

Close Project or Phase (1 of 4) Close Project or Phase is the process of finalizing all activities to formally
complete the project or phase
At project or phase closure, the following may occur: Obtain acceptance by the customer or sponsor (i.e. Record of Decision), Conduct post-project or phase-end review, (i.e. Gate Phase Review) Record impacts of tailoring to any process, Archive all relevant project documents Close out procurements Document lessons learned
Investigating use of FLS Engineering Central as depository for R&D project lessons learned
Celebrate project success
Gate review Record of Decision constitute the official close of the phase

Lessons Learned The purpose of lessons learned is to bring together any insights gained
during a project that can be usefully applied on future projects
Capturing those Lessons Learned It is essential to capture lessons learned on your projects prior to releasing
resources and closing the project/phase
Lessons Learned should identify which elements of the project were successfully managed and which ones presented challenges
Lessons can be captured by asking these questions: What went right? What went wrong? What could have been better?

Close Project or Phase (3 of 4)
Arrange regular brainstorming (not BLAMEstorming) sessions with the project team. Don't leave it until the end of the project when memories have faded.
Review lessons learned at each phase gate. You can then compile the information at the end of the project and develop a more comprehensive lessons learned.
During your discussions: Be positive Do not place blame! Focus on successes as well as challenges Indicate which strategies contributed to success Indicate which improvement strategies would have the greatest impact

Document and Share It is important to document and share findings. The best way to do this is
by creating a lessons learned report
Lessons learned must be stored in a central repository with general access (i.e. SharePoint)
Lessons learned are equally as important on cancelled projects as they are on completed projects

Project Management Survey The purpose of the survey was to identify the project management
knowledge areas that will need to be covered in this training.
The survey was sent to 576 employees who work on R&D projects, of which, 79 (~14%) participants took the survey
Survey end period closed on Friday March 29th For those who took the survey, thank you!
Develop project charter , identify stakeholders (Initiation), and close project or phase (Closing) appears to be the project management communitys strengths.
Our biggest opportunity for improvement in how to manage and deliver projects on time, on budget, and within scope is to provide training on the knowledge areas that were rated higher for Somewhat Important than Very Important. All the knowledge areas are very important to project management.
