Definitions and Perspectives

Project management has grown rapidly as a recognized management discipline within the last 20 years. Because of its rapid growth, many misunderstandings exist about project management which cause problems in selecting the right training.

Until very recently, almost all of the focus of project management has been in medium to large-scale projects, and primarily in technical and construction fields. Furthermore, virtually all training focused on the project manager. Recent developments are broadening the scope of project management to include program management, portfolio management, smaller-scale project management and multi-project management. Additionally, newer training is including other stakeholders, including team members, functional managers, project sponsors, etc.

Definitions:

Definitions offered are brief and for quick reference only

Program Management - Managing multiple-related projects.
Portfolio - The collection of projects and programs an enterprise, organization, or department undertakes to achieve organization objectives
Portfolio Management - Selecting and prioritizing projects and programs to best achieve organizational objectives.
Multi-Project Management - Prioritizing and management multiple projects (that may be distinct from program management)
Project Sponsor - the individual who formally authorizes the project and provides funding.

Standards

There are two highly-recognized standards organizations in the US. These are the Project Management Institute (PMI®) and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI®). PMI is an independent professional organization focusing on project management practices. SEI is part of Carnegie-Mellon University and focuses on project management maturity models.

While other standards exist, these are the two most widely-recognized and followed in the US. Your training seminars should be aligned with these two standards.
