Planning A Project ! Most Important Consideration

Hi Pals,

As a discussed earlier that PM has 5 major process groups namely initiation , planning , execution , controlling and closing . So in this post i am going to put a video from Dailymotion  which describes as how to create and start-up a project plan.

so its really very interesting and important step to learn , Lets watch this now :

 

Thanks Friends .

I am keeping a contact form kindly feedback ….

Thank you for your response. ✨

 

 

Info on PMBOK …

I shall be sharing my knowledge on PMBOK , the content is from wikipedia ,kinldy go through it .It lays the foundation and principle mechanism of Project Management .

A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) is a book which presents a set of standard terminology and guidelines for project management. The Fifth Edition (2013) is the document resulting from work overseen by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

The Guide recognizes 47 processes that fall into five basic process groups and ten knowledge areas that are typical of almost all projects.

The five process groups are:

  1. Initiating
  2. Planning
  3. Executing
  4. Monitoring and Controlling
  5. Closing
  • The ten knowledge areas are:
  1. Project Integration Management
  2. Project Scope Management
  3. Project Time Management
  4. Project Cost Management
  5. Project Quality Management
  6. Project Human Resource Management
  7. Project Communications Management
  8. Project Risk Management
  9. Project Procurement Management
  10. Project Stakeholders Management (added in 5th edition)

Each of the ten knowledge areas contains the processes that need to be accomplished within its discipline in order to achieve an effective project management program. Each of these processes also falls into one of the five basic process groups, creating a matrix structure such that every process can be related to one knowledge area and one process group.

I shall be continuing my last topic on data management (collecting )strategies on my next post .

Thanks .  Happy Blogging ….

Types of Quality Management Tools

Hi Pals ,
Well as far the various kinds of tools are concerned these can be generally classified as below:
1.Tools for Collecting Data                                                                                                   

2.Tools for Understanding Data                                                                

Tools for PM
Tools for PM
3. Tools to Understand Processes
4.Tools to Analyse Processes
The above are the categories of the types of tools and further i am going to explain the various tools which follow in the above lot.
Lets Start from Data Collecting Tools :
The first step in Quality Management is to collect the sample of data from various sources possible .Various methods are used for this scientific way like Check sheets , Question Forms , Polls , Debates , Lectures , Interviewing .
So after the data is collected it is required to be understood , so lets c what happens next , so keep blogging .
Thanks .
Have a nice time 
 
 
 
 

Ishikawa Diagram Continued …

Well the whole process of this is quite step by step ,

Step 1. Problem Identification

The step 1 deals with identification and  clear cut idea of what the problem is whose cause has to be find out.Once this is clear the process goes to second step.

Step 2. Brainstorming of the various causes 

Now as i told earlier there are causes for this and this step deals with writing down all the causes which could be the possible cause for the main problem .

Step 3.  Classification Phase

Now as we know the various causes are from the five categories like People , Environment, Machines, Methods .

so the aim to classify and put the causes into there correct category.

Step 4 . Fish Bone Diagram

As the name suggests , fish bone diagram we need to draw the diagram in  the shape of a fish structure where the head of the fish is the problem and the fins and the branches  are the causes pointing to the main center line .

Step 5.  Analysis ( Root Cause)

We now need to focus on finding out what the main cause of the problem is ?

For this we see carefully as what are the causes which are in large numbers , the cause which is appearing the maximum times is the ROOT CAUSE.

Hence . Root Cause Analysis Explained.

Take Care,

Thanks.

Quality Management Tools , 1. Cause and Effect Diagram

Cause and Effect diagram is also called as Fish Bone Diagram or Ishikawa Diagram or Root Cause Analysis Diagram . It was invented by Quality Pioneer Kaoru Ishikawa  in late 1960’s which proved to be a very crucial method for finding out the root cause of any problem.

 

The aim of the Diagram is to find out the major or most important cause behind a certain problem which is shown in the form of the head of a fish and the bones are the causes in this.

 

The idea is that the various causes for the problem are categorized into :

 

  • People
  • Material
  • Environment
  • Machines
  • Methods

 

These categories have further sub causes and futher sub-sub causes , so the main idea is to find out the root cause ( major) .

 

 

The step by step working of the Tool shall be continued in next blog..keep reading..

 

Thanks.
