Project management is the application of methods, tools, techniques and competencies to a project. Project management includes the integration of the various phases of the project life cycle, as described in 3.10.
Project management is performed through processes. The processes selected for performing a project should be aligned in a systemic view. Each phase of the project life cycle should have specific deliverables. These deliverables should be regularly reviewed during the project to meet the requirements of the sponsor, customers and other stakeholders.
Strategic goals may guide the identification and development of opportunities. Opportunities selection includes consideration of various factors, such as how benefits can be realized and risks can be managed.The project goal is to provide measurable benefits that contribute to realizing the selected opportunities.The project objective contributes to the project goal by creating the required deliverables. Project goals are achieved when the benefits are realized. Goals might not be achieved until a period of time after the objectives are achieved.
Opportunities may be evaluated to support informed decision-making by responsible management, in order to identify feasible projects that could transform some or all of these opportunities into realized benefits.
These opportunities may address, for example, a new market demand, a current organizational need or a new legal requirement. The opportunities are often evaluated through a set of activities that provide formal authorization to start a new project. The organization should identify a project sponsor to be responsible for project goals and benefits.
The goals and benefits may result in a justification for the investment in the project, e.g. in the form of a business case, and that may contribute to a prioritization of all opportunities. The purpose of the justification is usually to obtain organizational commitment and approval for investment in the selected projects.
The evaluation process may include multiple criteria, including financial investment appraisal techniques and qualitative criteria, such as strategic alignment, social impact and environmental impact. Criteria may differ from one project to another.AS ISO 21500 pdf free download.
