Project Management
IT Project Management Analysis:
Project Management Institute's Project of the Year Award Recipient
The 2011 Project Management Institute Project of the Year Award was given to the Prairie Waters Project of Aurora, Colorado. Both the city of Aurora and engineering consultancy CH2M Hill partnered on the initially funded $854M project. By managing the triple constraints of the project, the city and CH2M Hill were able to reduce the costs of the project by $254M, delivering it two months ahead of schedule. The project managers for the city and CH2M Hill created a cross-functional team capable of using value engineering techniques and frameworks tor educe costs and time requirements at the same time. Optimizing the three constraints of costs or resources, time and quality requires orchestration of all project team members and a clear definition of accountability for performance (Brewer, Strahorn, 2012).
Analysis of Prairie Waters Project Performance
Establishing clear objectives...
They will also guide the various cross-functional teams and dependent resources to also align their time and resources accordingly (Brewer, Strahorn, 2012). For the Prairie Waters Project the complexity of three constraints was significant. Not only did the pipeline have to traverse 35 miles, it also had a complex configuration of water pumping stations and filtration centers. In addition there are the challenges of moving the water through the pipes and also managing the reservoir levels while the project continued on. The city had to cut over to the new system once completed without impacting the existing water systems and infrastructure serving the city. Managing to a complex series of costs, schedule and time constraints, and very high quality levels made this project rise above other entrants for project of the year honors with the Project Management Institute.
From a leadership perspective,…

Often information systems projects require two or more project teams to collaborate with one another to complete critical foundational elements of a new information system, and the dependences of each of these tasks needs to be shown and clearly communicated to all members of a project team. In addition, these tools and techniques must also take into account the requirements of the entire lifecycle of the product (Stewart, 203).
Multinational management challenges regarding project work refer to its complexity, scope, and risks. Specialists have observed that large it projects provide important advantages to joint ventures. This is related to the development of global teams. The indicators in these cases have been identified as technical difficulties, evolving solutions, innovation, and others. The challenges of large it projects are addressed by several types of management approaches, in accordance with the characteristics of

4. Control Phase: This phase is the one in which maintaining the project within the "scope, cost, and schedule" as well as "within acceptable quality" is addressed due to the possible variables. "Unknown or unproven technologies....make these projects difficult for the project manager to baseline the scope, schedules, and costs during the Planning Phase." (Systems Lifecycle Development, 2001) Key deliverables in this phase are the development, testing, implementation and documentation
Project Management Plan of a New Restaurant This project management plan is majorly concerned primarily with the first two steps which are defining the project; the project objective is broken down into a series of manageable steps called tasks and designing the project process; this work is performed by the project manager and is presented in the GANTT chart where the tasks are displayed in more detail (Hamilton, 2004). Besides, for
Project Management and Scope Control Every experienced project manager can attest to the constant threat posed by a phenomenon known as scope creep, wherein the prudently planned objectives of a particular project are unwittingly permitted to swell in a seemingly independent fashion. When budgets slowly begin to balloon and an unending stream of employees are added superfluously to a project's staff, the scope of a project, or "all of the work
