Is project different to other work? But what is project means? The first exercise we define what is project means. If we talk about project we usually think that it was given by a boss or a teacher that has a deadline. You are given a wide span of time to have a plan. It is a task or assignment given that requires a large amount of time, effort and planning to complete that specific task or project. Those projects were given by group or individual. An employee or maybe a student generally requires a lot of amount of effort to think the possible scope and possible output of the detailed project. Constructing a project it also requires to begin to do something with their own fact finding and analysis, one or the other references from internet research, or even public library or maybe a survey research. Project also is a cycle or sequence of activities that must be completed in the set of deadlines, within a budget and also with the specifications, requirements, condition, measurement and pattern. While work is the duties or activities that are part of a job or occupation even in the households we can call it daily routine schedule work. If we elaborate it work can define as the a obligation that somebody is require to do for moral, legal or religious reasons or even a task or services allocated to somebody especially in the course of work. One model or simple example is the homework. Every human being has obligation in this spherical world that we need to pursue. It is just a making or creating such big project or small project and giving effort in our work or we always say a job.
For me there are some factors that project is different to the work. I can say that statement because project define as a task or work given a specific requirements like a large amount of time, effort and planning to complete that specific task or work. We need to reach the normal or expected end of duties or activities having all the necessary qualities or abilities for a particular role. We all know that a project with limit imposed on which some form of limit or restriction is imposed. Like the school project it has the range covered by any activity, subject or topic that needs to finish at specific time or we called it the deadline of the projects. Aiming the requirements for that project has schedule and limited cost so that we can produce or yield quality products. At school, educational institute and university, a project is a research assignment given to a student which generally requires a larger amount of effort and more independent work than is involved in a normal essay assignment. It requires students to undertake their own fact-finding and analysis, either from library/internet research or from gathering data empirically. The written report that comes from the project is usually in the form of a paper, which will contain sections on the project's inception, methods of inquiry, analysis, findings and conclusions. Like in our System Analysis and Design we are require to make a documentation study in one company about their existing Information System or Manual System. In line with that we need to make a Gantt chart for our scheduling in consulting to our professor. The Gant Chart composes with many deliverables with the help of FAST model. Every deliverables has time schedule and every deadline we need to go to our professor to have update of our output. In that example the project has a deadline but there was maintenance and updating of deliverables so the task are not discontinue. I conclude that in some projects has the end of process or deadline for the checking purposes but after passing there was a probability to have update or need to maintain the projects. Every certain projects has its end, may have updates, maintenance and testing to be consider so that it will determine and to make sure that the scope of the project will happen or be available the services that the project bring the quality into existing or we called it effect to “madlang people”. In addition we also consider the weaknesses and identify all the requirements so that we determine that the project had achieved. Another example is all about the routine task like in our house we have or our mother always doing the household task, as we all know household task are done almost every day which I conclude that it would not be appropriate to call it a project, for it is ongoing or continuous if we based it from a lifetime process. We can called it project if and only if the task have specific timeframe to be follow it has an ending and it has time schedule. In the process of housekeeping general cleaning activities are completed, such as disposing of rubbish, storing of belongings in regular places, cleaning dirty surfaces, dusting and vacuuming. It is also the care and control of property, ensuring its maintenance and proper use and appearance. In a hotel, "housekeeping" is also a term for the cleaning personnel. Work also refer to human labor, also in physics, in theology, in film or media, in law and etc.. The Wikipedia stated that “Work or Work Package in project management is the amount of effort applied to produce a deliverable or to accomplish a task or a group of related tasks defined at the same level in the WBS. Work packages, are unique within the same project, and they have a scheduled start date and end date. Work packages should not confuse with duration. A project is composed of several objectives, a project could be divided to several tasks which they termed as project decomposition or breakdown and the proponents must works on each of the refined tasks in order to reach their goals and the goal of the project. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business operations, which are repetitive, continuous, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to present their products and services.
The nest question “Is Project Management Relevant to me?”. In the pass exercise we have defined Management that involves carefully dealing with all those activities, which are necessary as far as the successful completion of a product is concerned, is referred to as project management. Not an ongoing process, a project is a temporary job with defined time duration, within which it has to be finished. To make sure that it is finished before the deadline, and in accordance with specifications, project management is essential. Thus a project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and technique to project activities to meet project requirements. The significance above definition about project and management something can create a good meaning if we combine the two words. A project management can define also as the framework of everything that we are doing in our daily life activity.
As a student project management has a big relevant in our daily routine in coming to the school and always given a big projects in our professor. Using the tools of project management can help us to discipline and eliminate some of the chances of the projects doing wrong, the subject of concern and surprises. However it will help to impart the standard processes and procedures to agree with them and help to avoid such things that can lead us to the failure. This are the following factors:
1. Projects finishing late, exceeding budget or not meeting customer expectations.
2. Inconsistency between the processes and procedures used by projects managers, leading to some being favored more than others.
3. Successful projects, despite a lack of planning, achieved through high stress levels, goodwill and significant amounts of overtime.
4. Project management seen as not adding value and as a waste of time and money.
5. Unforeseen internal and/or external events impacting the project.
It is all about creating a natural world and conditions in which have the definition of the goal and the objective of one project team that can help and lead them to achievement. To sum it up, project management plays a very vital part into our lives. Without proper understanding and knowledge about project management we won’t be able to become as successful project leaders we all wanted. After all, a real and successful project management is, above all, a practice where art, science, and craft meet for the benefit of sufficing other people’s needs as well as ours. With this, I am really looking forward to learn more new lessons in Project Management. But I hope it wouldn’t be hard for us. I know I’ll learn a lot and will be surely applied not only in my economic life, but also in my personal life. We must work on our own and bring out the leadership skills that are just keep inside us. Our powers are not in our strengths but in how we use our strengths.
