Project Server in the entire life cycle of the project
When I use a stand-alone project, I have always thought that Project is a tool for project planning. So now I have used Project Server my awareness, I suddenly found that Microsoft's system can actually run through the life cycle of the entire project.
First of all, we know what we have to implement project management is because we are doing a project, we must determine the scope of the project, control the cost of the project, guarantee progress, and through project management tools can help project managers to complete These tools.
The life cycle of the project can be divided into four parts:
Project start:
At this stage, the administrator of the project needs to perform demand analysis, feasibility study, bidding work, etc. So this stage Project can provide good data support for our project decision makers. We have had a similar project before, we have a similar project ... to the end, by analyzing the data provided by analyzing the data provided to us, we need to create this project, you need to continue the bid ...
Project planning:
When we start a project, the first is to plan this project, in fact, this is a cutting process. At this time, Project can help us decompose the project into several parts. Then, each part is decomposed into a number of tasks, and decomposes several tasks into several sub-tasks ..., the decomposition of the first level first level, and finally implemented the details in all aspects in the project; then, we will These tasks are assigned to our project group members. In the current Project system, it provides us with convenience is not limited thereto, we can appreciate all members of the project group by publishing the project plan to the server, allowing all members of the project group to evaluate this almost. Members of our project group can tell the project manager's ignored place through the new task provided by Project Server; our project team members can modify the task needs to be used.
In short, in the project planning phase, due to Project Server, project group members can intervene in project planning, project plan is no longer a very small number of project managers, it is the team's collaborative ability to raise to extremes, and project The problems you think of in the plan are more meticulous, thereby reducing the probability of conflict between the project execution process.
Project implementation phase:
A large amount of information is often required in project group members in the project execution phase. In the past, these exchanges, we fully rely on the administrative means of the project team, fully dependent on the information exchange tools of telephone, email. Members of the project team tend to spend a lot of time when they get this information. However, the emergence of Project Server has solved most of the problems. The project team member notifies the progress of the project manager project by modifying the task. Members of the project group pass through centralized document management, problem management, risk management and other tools to communicate information; members of the project group improve the speed of returning to these documents, issues, risk information by establishing a connection between documents and tasks .
Project is closed:
The project reached the last stage, you need to submit the test results to the user, and you have to accept the acceptance, it seems no longer need of the help of Project. However, don't forget, we use Project Server not to manage such an item separately, we must obtain our experience and lessons from this project. We need to summarize the various data provided by Project Server to provide assistance to our other projects.
