Episode 023 -  Project Management 101 for successful wildlife projects

Picture

Show Notes

Projects are different from other ongoing operations in an organization, because unlike operations, projects have a definite beginning and an end - they have a limited duration.

The project manager leads the project through every phase. As leaders, they are well organized, change agents. Communication is paramount to this position as daily challenges are presented throughout the short-duration of a project. 


“Project management”, then, is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.  It has always been practiced informally, but began to emerge as a distinct profession in the mid-20th century.

Project management processes fall into five groups:
  • Initiation: Here is where you set out the project scope, the goals, the organization of the project, its business case, its constraints, who the stakeholders are, what the team roles are, what the risks are, the project controls, the reporting framework, etc.
  • Planning: This is where you build the roadmap to take you from Point A to Point B, which means creating a schedule of the tasks, deadlines and resources needed to complete everything on time.
  • Execution: The project begins and the project plan is put into action.
  • Monitoring & Controlling: To make sure the project is proceeding as planned, you need to set up mechanisms for monitoring progress. If the project isn’t proceeding as planned, work to control and resolve issues before they become problems.
  • Closing: Projects are temporary endeavors, so they eventually come to an end and need to be formally closed. But it’s not as simple as producing deliverables, there’s paperwork to sign off on, resources to reallocate and other loose ends to tie up.
Project management knowledge draws on ten areas:
  • Integration
  • Scope
  • Time
  • Cost
  • Quality
  • Procurement
  • Human resources
  • Communications
  • Risk management
  • Stakeholder management
All management is concerned with these, of course. But project management brings a unique focus shaped by the goals, resources and schedule of each project.
