The principles of project management are the fundamental rules that should be followed for the successful management of projects. Project management is the practice of applying knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to complete a project according to specific requirements.The ability to deliver projects on schedule, on budget, and aligned with business goals is key to gaining an edge in today’s highly competitive global business environment. This is why it is important for the person in charge of the project to have a comprehensive understanding of project management, from basic concepts to extensive experience.Regardless of what kind of project you’re planning, every project goes through the same stages. Although each project will require its own set of unique processes and tasks, they all follow a similar framework. There’s always a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is called the project management life cycle.Why is project management important?Project managers will help your organization:Have a more predictable project planning and execution processAdhere to project budgets, schedules, and scope guidelinesResolve project roadblocks and escalate issues quicker and easierIdentify and terminate projects that do not have relevant business valueBecome more efficientImprove collaboration across and within teamsIdentify and plan for risksIn short, project managers are responsible for the planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and completion of projects, so they must have a complete understanding of the subject matter. However, that is just the tip of the project management basics iceberg.

Learning how to quantify risks using a simple template on top of Excel. After having discarded heat maps as a weak and unjustifiable “methodology” for risk analysis, we present quantitative risk analysis for projects. Easy, intuitive and free. It can easily be done on top of Excel with macro-based software to perform Monte Carlo simulation. Simply go to dtsimulator dot com and download a free template that allows you to perform simulation without having to purchase expensive software. List your project risks on a register. As in qualitative risk analysis, you add 2 dimensions to each risk line: frequency and severity. We teach you how to add expert’s opinion, adding distribution functions to both frequency and severity of possible risk events. You are ready to perform a Monte Carlo simulation: a mathematical method on top of Excel that generates random values along the distributions of your risks. With thousands of repetitions or scenarios, DTSimulator generates datasets from which graphs summarize the outcomes of your analysis. We will teach you how to analyze histograms, tornado charts, S curves and scatter plots to get the most out of a quantitative project risk analysis. Go to dtsimulator dot com and download macro-based risk templates to start quantifying the risks on your project.
