The history of project management can be dated back in 1950s when organizations started to use a systematic approach towards complex engineering projects (Winter et al., 2006). Nowadays, the use of project management is largely appraised and adopted both in private and public sector. However, with the improvement in techniques, projects still often fail due to various reasons. As Perminova et al., (2008, p.73) argue, project management is evolving into “an ongoing process rather than a planning tool

The internal control environment encompasses the policies, processes and skills that exist within a department to ensure only valid financial transactions are recorded, that such transactions are recorded accurately, and that rules and regulations are complied with. Internal controls can be thought of as proactive measures to prevent inappropriate charges and to ensure compliance.

There are many methods and techniques for a project manager (PM) can use to run a successful project. Some of these include: identifying the stakeholder’s roles and responsibilities, tracking measureable business outcomes, apply project controls and view monitoring the dynamics of a working project. These project management techniques are used in order to improve the project model in a baseline project plan. As a PM employs these techniques it can help keep track and account for items more efficiently
that can affect the project schedule we look at Meredith and Mantel (2012) description of resources. “The fixed resources might include labor-hours of various types of special professional or technical services, machine-hours of various types of machinery or instrumentation, hours of computing time, specialized locations, and similar scarce resources needed for accomplishing project tasks” (p. 387). All of the resources can cause delays in the schedule, however a few of the examples sound very familiar
years, The Little Black Book of Project Management has been introducing project managers to the incredibly effective and logical project management skill and methods to help them achieve their goal. This book has been flooded with very nee project management techniques as well as the latest standards of the Project management body of Knowledge (PMBOK) .accepted by PMI (Project Management Institute). The book contains the most effective methods of completing a project within its budget, schedule, and
is the use of the technology in the agricultural industry. The GIS technology aids agriculture in production, risk assessment, pest control, precision farming, water management, and monitoring.5 4 PRODUCTION When it comes to production in agriculture, GIS gives farmers the ability to reduce input costs, increase production, and maximize efficiency.6 An example of applying GIS to the production of agriculture is the research conducted on breadfruit on alleviating hunger. As discussed in the
Unlike any other project, London Olympic was not a usual project but had many requirements associated with sports, organization, venues and infrastructure, financing, ticketing, tourism as well as branding. In addition, the key requirements of this project were the construction of venues as well as infrastructure, development of public transportation systems and the finances. Although, it was one of its kind’s project, but at the end, London made it. The success of this project can simply be noted
of the most important aspects of project management because of the rate of financial crisis and natural disaster in the world right now and the rate of increase in expectation from the stakeholder in an organisation. But firstly, project brings about risk management so what is project? Project can be defined as a group of people working in a unique way in a period of time to achieve a specific goal. And in achieving that project management come into place, project management is according to (PMBOK
management plans when undertaking project execution? Project time management includes some processes to ensure project finalising on time. There are seven processes in project time management: plan schedule management, define activities, sequence activities, estimate activity resources, estimate activity durations, develop schedule and control schedule (PMBOK, 2013). This indicates a good time management plan is on top priority when executing a project, because project is the combination of variety
