Development trend of project management

Attach importance to the applied research of industrial project management.

From 65438 to 0984, the Lubuge Hydropower Station was built by international bidding for the first time in China, which achieved good economic benefits. Since then, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Electric Power and the Ministry of Chemical Industry have successively introduced the contractor project manager system. But now, project management has gone out of the engineering construction industry. IT, medicine, finance, machinery, service and other industries have all become the development fields of project management. The application and diversified development of project management in all walks of life will inevitably create new demands for project management in the industry. The commonly used project management method system needs to be enriched and improved according to the characteristics of industry projects. Project management research in more detailed application fields such as engineering project management, national defense project management, IT project management, R&D project management, and even software project management and product development project management will become more and more popular.

An organization that emphasizes the maturity of project management in the organization

I hope to make a perfect plan when planning the project management strategy. However, the strategic planning of project management needs to be based on experiments in order to be fully implemented. In order to cooperate with the implementation of strategic planning of project management, Dr. Harold Kerzner, a famous project management master, specially developed the Project Management Maturity Model (PMMM). Project Management Maturity Model (PMMM) can help enterprises to judge the current situation of their own project management. It includes five levels, namely, common terminology, common process, single method, benchmark comparison and continuous improvement, and each level-Science and Technology Forum, No.8 (Part II) in 2009-aims at different project management maturity.

Construction of enterprise project management system

Project management is a highly technical job. In order to meet the needs of socialized mass production, project management must be standardized. No project management system can be suitable for all enterprises, and the development of enterprise project management requires enterprises to establish a project management system that conforms to their own characteristics. In the application and development of project management in the future, the establishment of enterprise project management system will be a common topic for enterprise project management workers and project management researchers. We should comprehensively summarize and absorb the construction framework of project management systems of well-known foreign enterprises such as Lucent, IMB, Boeing and ABB, and establish a project management system that conforms to the characteristics of Chinese enterprises.

Professionalization and specialization of project management

Development With the popularization of project management application and the development of enterprise project management, the professionalization and specialization of project management will become inevitable. Just as there are more and more professional managers now, there will be more and more professional project managers and professional project managers in the future. The professional development of project management makes people have more choices and development space for their career development in enterprises. Employees can start from being in charge of a small project and gradually grow into being in charge of a medium-sized project, even affecting the future development of the enterprise. More employees are no longer pursuing a limited number of department managers, but among project managers with broad prospects, large growth space and unlimited scale. Extensive project management qualification certification will be more conducive to the professionalization and specialization of project management.

Pay attention to the development of talents

In order to gain a competitive advantage in the new market, enterprises will pay attention to talent development again. Priority should be given to the skills of project members and the selection of project managers in project management.

Emphasize agile project management

In order to cope with the changing market environment, enterprises continue to emphasize "agile project management". Therefore, the ability of change management and project risk management becomes more important. In order to improve the "agility" of enterprises, project managers have to use iterative project management/incremental project management more.

Agile project management is a project management technology used in uncertain, ambiguous or rapidly changing project environment. APM is an important risk management technology, which originated from software development projects. Agile project management is the opposite of waterfall project management. Waterfall project management needs to clarify all the project requirements before the project starts, while the project suitable for agile management is to constantly improve the project requirements in the process of change. Therefore, agile project management is suitable for R&D projects, such as software development, but not for construction projects. Because the owners at the back often made clear the project requirements before the project started. In agile project management, project members usually plan only one stage at a time, and the planning of the next stage depends on the progress and achievements of the current stage. Deliverables are delivered in stages.

Pay more attention to value.

Despite the poor economic situation, enterprises will pay more attention to value realization when measuring the success of projects and plans (except cost and time). The research on senior project management leaders shows that the most important skill in managing complex projects and plans in today's society is to let the project team know the project vision; Formulating the project organizational structure and personnel arrangement can not only help project members achieve their personal goals, but also meet the project goals. Looking at the project from a strategic perspective can help enterprises always pay attention to the intrinsic value of the project.
