The next few pictures are my take on the more common view of what happens when project management is not used to ensure an effective delivery.
Scope As Described By The Customer!
Project management is about working with the customer to define their needs correctly i.e. scoping. Project management ensures that the project team understand what they are delivering and the customer understands what they are receiving at the end of the project.
What The Team Delivered!
Project management is about ensuring that the team delivers what is required. It manages everything from beginning to end in a controlled manner. Project management is all about working with a team to deliver what is required to time, budget, quality and scope.
What The Customer Actually Wanted!
Project management delivers what the customer wanted as defined within the scope of the project. Effective project management will make sure that there is no difference between what the customer things they are getting and what they actually get. It also makes sure that the team control their budgets and time… meaning a profitable exercise for all.
