Project Business Management - The Forgotten Knowledge Area

Profile image of Oliver F . Lehmann

2019, LinkedIn

When we look at project management as it is taught and discussed today, there is a common focus on internal projects, performed by mostly also internal teams. The concept of a project there is that an organization builds a project team, a kind of task force, to apply certain changes, promote strategies, implement tools and infrastructure, possibly disinvest from something, merge or split organizations and so on. However: many project managers look at their current jobs and find, this does not apply to them and to the major challenges that they are facing. What these project managers are doing is better described as Project Business Management.

Biologics magnetics nanoparticles, magnetosomes, attract attention because of their magnetic characteristics and potential applications. The aim of the present study was to develop and characterize novel magnetosomes, which were extracted from magnetotactic bacteria, purified to produce apyrogen magnetosome minerals, and then coated with Chitosan, Neridronate, or Polyethyleneimine. It yielded stable magnetosomes designated as M-Chi, M-Neri, and M-PEI, respectively. Nanoparticle biocompatibility was evaluated on mouse fibroblast cells (3T3), mouse glioblastoma cells (GL-261) and rat glioblastoma cells (RG-2). We also tested these nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia treatment of tumor in vitro on two tumor cell lines GL-261 and RG-2 under the application of an alternating magnetic field. Heating, efficacy and internalization properties were then evaluated. Nanoparticles coated with chitosan, polyethyleneimine and neridronate are apyrogen, biocompatible and stable in aqueous suspen...

OBJECTIVE Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is commonly performed for correction of spinal sagittal plane deformities. The PSO results in complex, multiple changes of the spinopelvic alignment. The influence of the variability of individual pelvic morphology has not been fully analyzed in previous outcome studies of sagittal imbalance. The aim of this study was to define radiological variables affecting the outcome after PSO in adult spinal deformities, with special emphasis on the variability of pelvic morphology. METHODS Clinical and radiographic outcomes were analyzed in a retrospective analysis of 104 patients who underwent a PSO at a single center. The radiographic variables studied were sagittal vertical axis (SVA), T1SPI (T-1 spinopelvic inclination), lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope (SS). To control for the individual variation of pelvic morphology, the LL/PI, PT/PI, and SS/PI ratios were calculated. Cl...

To develop and externally validate a nomogram that predicts risk of side-specific extraprostatic extension (EPE) at time of surgery, using commonly available preoperative markers. A consecutive sample of 753 men treated by radical prostatectomy (RP) at the University Health Network, Toronto, between 2009 and 2015, was used to develop the nomogram. The validation cohort consisted of 311 men treated by RP at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, between 1992 and 2014. The study outcome was presence of ipsilateral EPE. The association between predictors considered and EPE was tested using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The predictive accuracy of the nomogram was determined using the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve. The overall rate of EPE was 19.8% of all lobes in the developmental cohort and 28.9% in the validation cohort. Significant variables in the models were age, prostate-specific antigen and ipsilateral Gleason score, percentage of...

•   Key Features of a Project Management Template.

•   The Benefits of Using a Project Management Template.

What is a Project Management Template?

A good project management template will help you plan, save time and generally make your everyday tasks more efficient. There are a few ways they achieve this, such as:  

  • Utilising pre-built workflows
  • Prioritising tasks
  • Aiding team collaboration
  • Project tracking

Key Features of a Project Management Template. 

Before you can start using a project management template, you need to ensure that it’s fit for purpose. After all, you don’t want to be switching templates and transcribing data mid-project. So, avoid the late nights and caffeine sessions and start out the right way.

Depending on the project you’re managing, you’ll want to ensure that you have the following features: 

  • Objective Tracking. This provides a way to note key deliverables and goals and serves as the core of most project management templates. 
  • Task Prioritisation . Having a template set up that allows you to order and prioritise tasks can be essential for effectively managing workflow.
  • Timelines. Access to timelines helps to ensure you and your team are on track with any deliverables. Gantt chart timelines, in particular, can give a microscopic, clear visualisation of tasks and their milestones. 
  • Budget Allocation . Budgeting is an essential part of project management. Being able to clearly determine cost points can be key for reporting and budgeting. 
  • Multiple Project View : If you’re handling multiple, intertwined projects, then project tracking can help team collaboration and give you an overview of multiple projects simultaneously. The means you can track any intertwining details, which can be incredibly handy if projects rely on each other. 
  • Tool Integration . The world of IT is growing and being able to include automation or reporting tools with your project management templates can greatly boost workflow.

The Benefits of Using a Project Management Plan. 

A properly utilised and maintained project management plan has a lot of potential benefits. These include: 

Saves Time.

With a helpful project management plan, you can save time by reuse tried-and-true frameworks that suit your project best. Gaining this familiarity over time can lead to increased efficiency. 

Outlines Key Steps.

Determining (and keeping sight of) your key goals is easy with a customised project management template. This enables you to ensure your project maintains pace and easily report on the project’s success in bite-size pieces. 

Aids with Project Scope and Resources.

With an intelligent management framework in place, you can get a sense of your project’s scope - even if it changes throughout the process. This means you can effectively determine and plan resources as required, with the data to back everything up. 

Assists Task Management.

Assigning tasks, completion dates, progress and priorities can be simple with the proper project management plan. Re-assign work and keep track of which tasks are at which stage in a simple to use, easy to oversee framework. 

Presents an Easy Review Process.

Over a project’s lifetime - or post-lifecycle - you may want to report on key statistics. With all the information in one place, you can easily report on these metrics to assist future projects or give updates on in-progress ones.
