clear vision of what your career will be in the near future.
A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and
therefore defined scope and resources.
A project is unique in that is not a routine operation, but specific set of
operations designed to accomplish a singular goal

1. Waterfall Method
A linear project management approach where stakeholder and customer
requirements are gathered at the beginning of the project, and then a sequential
project plan is created to accommodate those requirements. This method is so
named because each phase of the project cascades into the next, following steady
down like a waterfall.
It is a thorough, structured methodology and one that’s been around for a long
time, because it works. Construction industry is one of the industries that regularly
use this method.
Requirements customer requirements are gathered

WATERFALL METHODOLGY
1. Project Executives
Workplace management that directly manages short and long term projects
Communicating with upper management
Monitoring project performance both internally and externally.
2. Project Stakeholders
3. Project Sponsor
A person or group who provides resources and support for the project,
program or portfolio and is accountable for enabling success
A project sponsor is one level above a project manager
4. Project Team
Staff resources who together have all the needed skills/expertise to complete
the project
The Project Manager is at the center, reports to the project sponsor and reports to the
stake holders. He also reports to the project team to update the team regarding matters
pertaining to the project sponsor and stake holders.
The Project sponsor as mentioned, is one level higher than the project manager. But
their tasks are complimentary to each other. The success of the project largely depends
on them.
If your involved people or team for the project is complete, most likely the project will be a
success. Correct?

The project scope sets the stage for developing a project plan. It clearly states the
project’s objectives and deliverables. Scope definition provides an administrative plan
that is used to develop your operational plan, i.e. the plan for how you are going to
run the project. Scope definition should be as brief as possible, but complete. Poorly
defined scope leads to project failure. The development of the scope must involve
the project manager, sponsors, performing organizations and beneficiaries.
In summary, close liaison with your customer is necessary to develop a project
definition that meets all requirements of the customer. Clear scope definition ensures
you will know when a change in scope occurs. A clear project scope definition is the
most important requirement for development of your Work Breakdown Structure
(WBS).
