Characteristics of Work Done using :
- Projects - In the project, work to be done is systematically
planned and grouped into WBS. Each work is planned in a proper
sequence with required resources and cost associated with it. It
has a reference in project management plan
- 3 Project Constraints - Three project Constraints are Cost,
Schedule and quality. Work done using this constraints will have
very specific objective to maintain these constraints with in
designed or planned limit.
- Project Life cycle - Project life cycle give the sequence of
project journey starting from initiation and ending to closure. A
project life cycle is the series of phases that a project passes
through from its initiation to its closure.Project life cycles can
range along a continuum from predictive or plan-driven approaches
at one end to adaptive or change-driven approaches at the other. In
a predictive life cycle , the product and deliverables are defined
at the beginning of the project and any changes to scope are
carefully managed. In an adaptive life cycle, the product is
developed over multiple iterations and detailed scope is defined
for each iteration only as the iteration begins.
In all the method , common characteristics are
- It should be align with a common objective of project
- Planning should be done for resources, sequences, precedences
etc.
- Other aspects of project management such as risk management,
communication, stakeholder management, human resource management
should be maintained
- Cost, Quality and schedule are key constraint for all the
cases.
