PM Role
Project Management Office
• A project management office (PMO) is a management structure that standardizes the project-
related governance processes and facilitates the sharing of resources, methodologies, tools, and
techniques.

• The responsibilities of a PMO can range from

ü Providing project management support functions to

ü Actually, being responsible for the direct management of projects.

• Supportive.
Supportive PMOs provide a consultative role to projects
The degree of control provided by the PMO is low.
• Controlling.
Controlling PMOs provide support and require compliance through various means.
• Directive.
Directive PMOs take control of the projects by directly managing the projects.

What Do Project Managers Do?
project managers are responsible for the planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and completion of
projects.
The main project manager responsibilities:

• Build the plan

• Assemble the team

• Assign tasks

• Leading the team

• Managing budget

• Managing timelines

• Engaging stakeholders

• Handover the project

• Document the process

Project Management Techniques
• Traditional, sequential methodologies, such as Waterfall and Critical Path Method (CPM):
ü Best suited to projects that produce a physical, tangible product such as a building or a
computer.

• Agile methodologies, such as Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming, and Adaptive project
framework:
üOriginally created for software developers, and the most sense for projects that may have
changing tasks or priorities.

• Approaches with a change-management focus, such as Event Chain Methodology (ECM) and
Extreme Project management:
üThe possibility of massive change during the project’s duration and build in a level of flexibility.

• A process-based approach, such as Lean project management:

üLean focuses on efficiency and cutting waste and can be applied to nearly every industry.
What is the Waterfall methodology in project management
The Waterfall methodology is an approach to project management where you break down a large
project into clear-cut linear stages, from requirement gathering to implementation.

1.The linear approach allows you to plan and set a structure for the project early on. That makes it easier to
execute and manage progress in your projects. Traditionally, the Waterfall model divides a project into 5 specific
phases or stages.

• The Requirements phase: estimating requirements and assessing the viability of a project or proposed
solution.

• The Design phase: planning the schedule, milestones, and deliverables of the project; this may also include
creating the designs or blueprints for the final deliverable(s).

• The Implementation phase: implementing the plan and making the project a reality.

• The Verification, or testing phase: testing and checking that the resulting product or feature solves the
intended problem.

• The Maintenance phase: phasing out older products, implementing a maintenance plan for the new
machinery, or anything else needed after project completion
What is the difference between Waterfall and Agile ?
The main difference between Waterfall and Agile is that the Agile methodology focuses much less on up-
front planning. There’s no goal of a perfect.

Agile outlines the high-level objectives, goals, and deliverables in a roadmap, but it’s not the detailed
battle plan from the Waterfall approach. An Agile team adapts to the changing demands of the market
and stakeholders during the project.

That often takes the shape of dividing the project into iterations or “sprints” — lasting a few weeks or
months — and adapting the course after each one

The Agile principles also dictate that you involve internal and external stakeholders throughout the
process, which is something the Waterfall method was silent on. Another crucial aspect of Agile is that
teams typically self-organize, with less top-down management input.
