هل يشترط بمدير المشروع أن يكون مهندساً؟


مقدمة



تأتي هذه المقالة بعد العديد من الآراء والحالات التي تم مشاهدتها في منطقتنا من خلال تواصلنا وعملنا مع العديد من المنظمات في القطاعين العام والخاص، بحيث كان هناك شبه اجماع على ضرورة أن يكون مدير المشروع من حملة شهادة الهندسة. كما وأننا نجد هذه الحالة على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي حيث تقوم العديد من المنظمات بوضع عروض للعمل وتطلب مدراء مشاريع يحملون شهادة في الهندسة. 
مدى وجود ادارة المشاريع في مناهج دراسة الهندسة
ان مناهج دراسة الهندسة في الجامعات أقله في منطقتنا، لا تتعدى أنها تحتوي على مادة أو مادتين تتعلّق بادارة المشاريع. وان جميع هذه المواد تُعنى بالتخطيط أو بادارة الجدول الزمني للمشروع سواء من خلال استخدام برامج وتطبيقات معينة أو من خلال الشرح النظري لها. فهل من الممكن أن تكون هذه المادتين كافيتين لأي مهندس في ادارة مشروع معيّن؟

How Your Project Management Knowledge Can Increase Your Business Value


Many organizations that are involved in managing  projects fails to capture  the ongoing knowledge  gained from implementing the different project management processes during the project life cycle. They use daily different document templates, workflows, reports and dashboards to manage  their projects that are not formally documented to enable  other projects to make use and benefit from this wasted knowledge.

You can turn this project management knowledge  into an asset that your company can share across all of their projects, current and future.  It is an asset that will reduce your company chances to fail in delivering successful projects.  Your company can document this knowledge in a standard operating procedures manual  to attain  the international certification of ISO
10006:2009 which provides the Guidelines for Quality Management in Projects. A certification
that will differentiate your company from the competition.

FAST TRACK YOUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT
PROCEDURES IN THREE-STEPS USING REVERSE ENGINEERING

Regardless  what project management procedures manual you want to have, we all understand the importance of fulfilling the needs  of what senior stakeholders want to know about projects being executed. They would usually want dashboards that will summarize projects key performance information  to enable  them to take the right decisions and actions. The level of details  of those dashboards do vary and depend  on the role of the stakeholder and how projects could affect they are responsible for. Dashboards  could be at enterprise, business  unit or portfolio, program, project, contract  and even project management process level. Dashboards  enable  stakeholders to analyze performance trends  and identify exceptions that could need their immediate attention.

Project Managers' Sizes!

At first, a PM to me meant a respectful person, full of experience and knowledge, 
who knows what s/he does and knows that his/her job is to deliver successful projects as much 
as to help people and guide them.


To my surprise “as usual”, I found out that there are different types of PMs in the world… In other words, different sizes of PMs!
Let me introduce to you two project managers’ sizes and my stories with them. Mini PM referred to as Miss Mini and Mighty PM referred to as Mr. Mighty…

Solve Project Puzzles The Sherlock Holmes Way

Making deductions
I was reading Sherlock Holmes the other day – I thought it would be interesting to go back to the original books that I read as a child since the fictional detective seems to be on the television and big screen frequently at the moment. I love detective stories and Sherlock Holmes does seem to be able to unpick some big problems.
His approach to solving cases, whether it’s a murder, a piece of lost jewellery or something a bit more out of the ordinary, is very similar to the approach we take on projects when it comes to diagnosing and resolving issues.
So here is my guide to solving project puzzles, the Sherlock Holmes way.

1. Gather The Facts

The detective always starts off with facts. He meets his client and finds out exactly what has happened. More often than not he will go to the scene of the crime to investigate in person – in other words, going back to the root cause of the issue and assessing the situation based on what he has uncovered personally instead of listening to a third party report the problem to him.

4 Ways To Refresh Your PM Career In One Hour


Stress is a fact of the project management world. The responsibility to deliver projects, week after week, gradually wears you down. On a Friday morning, you finally deliver a major project.
Before you can even start to unwind, someone asks you to join another project. Suddenly, the sweet experience of a well delivered project fades to a vague memory.
To break out of this punishing cycle, you need tools to refresh your career. These tools give you new perspectives on your work. These concepts will improve your professional network, help you understand your accomplishments and identify new opportunities. For best results, put all of these into practice over a period of weeks (some of them can be used daily!)

1. Go For A Long Walk To A New Area (30-60 minutes)

New environments have a big impact. So many people think they have to get on a plane and visit a new country in order to experience something new. International travel is fantastic but don’t limit yourself to that. After all, you may have limited money and vacation days.
