Introduction

In today’s dynamic and demanding markets, organizations that wants to lead and achieve growth that far exceeds what their competition is planning for as well as what they have been used to in the past, cannot afford to be just a good organization, but rather a Great
Organization.
What this means? Organizations who want to become Great Organizations need to shift their strategy from “Running the Business” to “Growing the Business”.
This would require those organizations to initiate, strategically align, prioritize, plan and successfully deliver hundreds of projects to achieve their desired vision.
Those will include strategy, operational, new-product, new-services and capital investment projects. Projects that will require individuals from the different functional divisions to be set accountable for delivering their scope as well as manage resources, labor and non-labor, collaborate with other team members, and communicate with external and internal stakeholders.
Having a project management methodology will strongly help organizations to achieve its strategic objectives.
This program aims to serve as guidelines for the candidates interested in developing & improving a project management methodology for their corporate based on the PMBOK Guide.
The PMBOK Guide is the de facto global standard for project management which focuses on the development of the project management processes based on the best practice of the project management practitioners all over the world and which could help a corporate achieving its strategic objectives and reaching the capability maturity model.
The project management process groups as per the PMBOK go as follows:
* Project Planning Process Group aims to develop an integrated plan for the project / phase coping with the project’s objectives.
* Project Executing Process Group aims to implement successfully the project’s management plan where the planning, execution and monitoring & controlling of the project should be worked out simultaneously to achieve the project’s objectives.
* Project Monitoring & Controlling Process Group should be done throughout the whole project life cycle to make sure that the project’s performance at any certain data date will lead to achieving the project’s objectives and to see if any corrective actions might be needed in this concern.
* Project Closing Process Group aims to finalize all activities across all project process groups to formally close the project or phase. Closing Process Group when completed verifies that the defined processes are completed within all the process groups to close the project or project phase, as appropriate, and formally establishes that the project or project phase is complete.
