The important criteria of modern management System
In Modern project management system ‘PRINCE AND
SSADM’ is a part of Information system which helps management ‘Information
technology’ and for what they actually are - authoritative and precious tools,
but not has any magical aspects. When applied solicitously, these tools can
bring important benefits for individuals, organisations, and customers as a
tentative flow. When misinterpreted, they can fritter away remarkable amounts
of time, effort, and money’.
The UK , a
developed country that is economically and technologically advanced, designed
PRINCE AND SSADM, to meet their own requirements. It cannot be expected that
these structured methodologies would equally suit the resource scarce
developing countries. But the above discussions surmise that there is potential
scope and rationale for applying PRINCE AND SSADM that would facilitate the
developing countries for better project management and system development. But
again, these methodologies should not be considered as the “solutions”, rather these frameworks
should be used thoughtfully, tailored to manage projects efficiently and to
develop effective information systems to cope with the challenge of change.
The PRINCE model for projects is
based on two main principles:
n The project is a
joint responsibility between users, the developers and the organisation for whose benefit the
end-product is being developed
n In
order for projects to succeed, a special structure is demanded to manage the
project throughout its life - from conception through build to handover. This structure is distinct from normal line
management.
Using these principles, the model defines three
levels of activity:
n Overall
project management and major decision making
n
Day-to-day management
n
Production of end-products
These three levels of activity are assigned respectively to the Project
Board, to the Project and Stage Managers, and to the Technical Teams.
A key element of
PRINCE is shown in the following Diagram:
In PRINCE, an
approach to planning based on products rather than activities and the use of
this approach for the benefits. It also emphasises that projects needs to
define the ‘shape’ or manageable phases of a project to promote sound business
control. Stages are characterised by the production of specific products.
