Top 10 Terms Project Managers Use, IT Project Management & IOS Risk Managment




WBS is a hierarchy all and it breaks down the work. It can be delivered both orientation and it really defines the scope of the project. Work breakdown structure keeps breaking different components down to show all the work again that produces deliverable. In it’s essence is the telescope the project.

Milestone, different points on the schedule. This is a significant point in time or event on your schedule, sometimes you will see them marked as a black diamond. Once you hit a milestone on time that’s a great calls for celebration that something important being done.

Baseline, it is where a project can become a fail project or successful project. Because in the beginning at the project. It’s important to once the plan is approved by the change control board it’s to baseline it. So you are in essence approving the project plan, which also includes the project schedule. What happened is, during the project changes are always going to occur. The time, scope, budget and quality. So as long as you take this changes to a CCB to get approved. Then they giving you approval to rebaseline the project that approval to make changes. So if you are schedule in long dated and maybe it’s delayed for some time,if you get the appropriate approval and rebaseline and it is important between a faied or successful project.

Triple constraint, there are four component up , it’s balancing the time ,the cost, scope and quality of your project. So with a triple constraint if these things occur specifically around changes. If you have changes in time, it will impact at least on other the component. So with always managing these things see keep the project on track. This thing you look at and take to the CCB (change control board)

Project life cycle, a single-phase cycle said they are initiating processes that occur and fit the planning processes. Once your project begins to executing, executing processes monitoring and controlling processes begin to occur throughout the project. And when the project is completed you hit your closing processes. So that is a project life cycle have initiating, planning,monitoring and controlling, executing, and closing project.

Gantt chart, it is a tool that a graphical display the schedule information. So you can look at your WBS, it includes date in duration for task on to be completed our deliverables to be produced.

CCB,certain stand for the change control board. This is a group of representatives from stakeholders group. They are the people who designated in your project plan, the people who with the authority to make approval or denials for thing. So the review changes and evaluate them. They can approve them or they will delay them or reject them on your project. It takes the pressure off a project managers, you won’t take upon himself to make these decisions,and it not for the project manager to make it's for the project manager to had the processed in place to keep the processes in place for the changes to be filled to CCB to really facilitate that process and again it’s CCB responsibility for making those decisions .

Who is the stakeholder, include people and organization it could be your customers, client, vendor partners. It could be different organizations that their actively involved. They interact maybe positively or negatively affected by execution of the project. They have the vested interest

Change managemt, is about a project management plan includes the processes on who does what , when and where related to changes in the project and it is to control the scope purses managing changes typically associated with managing change for project. So a project is initiated or executed and it’s going to infiltrate different organizations or groups for the corporation and that change is going to have some trigger emotional behaviors that the company so they are many organizations that focus on managing the change. They come in the help company to do the communications the planning for people so that it doesn’t cause mass chaos when that project is implement.


Risk mitigation, VS risk management, RM is the plan. RM is important because it’s different then risk identification, it’s important to identify risk.  In people on the project sometimes are really good about identifying risk, specofocally at the beginning in the project. But it is important to identify those all along the way. But more importantly is not just identifying the risk, when coming up with the mitigation strategy, so RM is about building a risk response planning technique associated with treats to the project. So if the risk identified occurred,you need to know what happens next to avoid project to be failed or take too much time, more resources, specific equipment or something that not easy to access to have, when you are not prepared It is a idea to reduce the probability that risk occurring or reducing impact if it does occur.





IT project is a project has a specific beginning and end date and its typically done to produce a business objective and produce a unique product or service.
For each project there are business deliverables (they are products and services) being generated as well as project management deliverables. So in IT project, the product is being an IT produce.

It has many different areas depending upon the type that IT project you are managing. There are firmware involved it happened be dealing with the hardware project, there is maybe weber website component. It maybe content database, infrastructure and underlying, network, a security aspect, a storage site to store this information and a disaster recovery area.

We find there are 5 key issues that are commonly encountered with these type of project to be considered.

It is typically multiple vendors or partners who maybe supplying the infrastructure like servers or hardware components, or providing the database, any of these conponents could be a different company vendor or partner. And when for that every different one, they generally becomes different expectations. Each vendor comes with their own expectation and assumptions are constrained that must be captured incorporated in overall project charter or project plan

Changing versions and releases, change is so rapidly between those components like hardware improvements or enhancements coming along even the firmware and software. So in the middle of IT project can last sometime then typically somebody and sths are changing version and releases that have to be incorporated, so constantly monitor.

Complex dependencies, those component, specifically underlying infrastructure must be laid and sometimes it will delays and risk to receiving infrastructure by a specific timeline that can impact some other deliverable

disaster recovery, once DR plan has been made an actual execution of that has to be done to test, it so there are Complex dependencies have to be monitored and tracked along the way and then integrated testing each of these components are built out in their needs can be difficult at times. Making sure all people are available your resources who are providing these areas the researchers are available. At the time you began doing your integrity testing


Support, if you have issues with any areas it may be represented are provided be others making sure you have support to escalated fix,or reduce risk in time.
