What is Project Management?.

e.g. EPC Project, Construction, Infra, BOT, Contract, PAD AC Installation, Software Projects etc.

Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria at the specified time. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals within the given constraints. This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. The primary constraints are scope, time, quality and budget. The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to meet pre-defined objectives.

What is (WBS) Work Breakdown Structure?

e.g. Departments like Enginnering, Procurement, Manufacturing, Construction, Commissioning etc.

A work-breakdown structure (WBS) in project management and systems engineering, is a deliverable-oriented breakdown of a project into smaller components. A work breakdown structure is a key project deliverable that organizes the team's work into manageable sections. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK 5) defines the work-breakdown structure "A hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables."

What is (PBS) Product Breakdown Structure?

e.g. Engineering Drawings, Procured or Manufactured items, Construction & Commissioning Service, Software module etc.

A Product Breakdown Structure (PBS) is a hierarchical structure of things that the project will make or outcomes that it will deliver. It can be thought of as the project shopping list. It decomposes a Main Project Product into its constituent parts in the form of a hierarchical structure.

What is (ABS) Activity Breakdown Structure?

What is (TBS) Team Breakdown Structure?

e.g. Disciplinewise engineers like Process, Civil, Electrical, Instruments, Mechanical, Piping, Programmers etc.

Disciplinewise Teams or People are required to do above mentioned Activities to deliver Product mentioned in PBS. Who will perform or do what work is assigned by Project Incharge or Department Manager. System automatically makes TODO List for Teams and measures delays/progress.
