Plan Project | show how it will be completed within budget and on time |
Initiate Project | select project team and explain responsibilities and expectations |
Control Project | learn what aspects occur as planned and what obstacles have been encountered - revise as needed |
Close Project | with appropriate programming and budgeting reports |
Dimensions of Program Management | communicating with teams and stakeholders, organizing information on actions and expenditures, focus team on delivery of product, enable team to do their jobs |
Gantt Chart | scheduling technique that organizes and allocates time among various tasks - each task on 1 row, time period in columns - horizontal bars represent time allotted for each task |
Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) | shows how different tasks are related - depicts tasks and duration of tasks using forked lines - used to reallocate resources among tasks to keep project on time and in budget |
Critical Path Method (CPM) | similar to PERT - shows what tasks must be completed before another task may happen - used to model activities as a network and show which activities are critical to project |
Decision Matrix | uses a table with alternatives in the rows and impact factors in the columns - factors are weighted and different outcomes are compared |
Goals Achievement Matrix (GAM) | chart which shows anticipated attainment of project's goal and distribution of that attainment among community groups - column for each objective and row for each group |
Cost Effectiveness Analysis | focuses on a single objective and a project's effectiveness with respect to that objective - used when two or more projects achieve same objective |
Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) | compares what a community gains from the project to what the community must forego to achieve it - benefits=4000, costs=3000, B/C ratio=1.33 - anything over 1 = good |
Cost Revenue Analysis (CRA) | systematic comparison of two money flows - amount on sector of community is paying into treasury through taxes, cost of services govt providing to that sector |
CRA is not CBA (Ex. education) | CRA=costs assigned to land uses causing costs to be incurred without measuring benefits(houses that have children in school), CBA=deals with benefits of education (by children being taught and by others received indirectly from more productive population) |
