We will discuss:
1. Projects need management irrespective of size of company or size of project
2. Projects need to be managed - there are goals, people, infrastructure and environment – nothing of these are available in abundance!
3. Project managers need to manage
a. The delivery dates
b. The costs
c. The constraints
d. Uncertainties in teams, resources and ….
e. The customers ever changing demands
f. The myths most of us carry when we manage a project eg–
i. My project is unique
ii. Customers demands are different
iii. My team is peculiar
iv. I require different processes,
v. If I use processes , I am sure to miss out the deliveries
Most of the times the de-mystifying myths become project management!!!

The typical problems a project manager faces are one or many of these -
Unknown Functionality
Wrong Estimates
Delayed deliveries to customer
H/w / S/w Delayed Deliveries from supplier
Late working hours
Last minute rush
Rude surprises
Failed Demos
Missing pieces of Jigsaw
Return of a bug
Unsatisfied Team members
High employee turnover
Disgruntled Customers
