Project management involves planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling resources to achieve project objectives within constraints of scope, time and cost. During project execution, resources are allocated and external resources may be purchased to develop the commissioned product or service. Legal aspects like contracts, risk management, and dispute resolution must be addressed. Key variables that determine a project's success are time, cost, quality, scope, and risk management.

Execution of Projects,
Legal Aspects & Role of
Significant Variables Project Management • Project management is a system of procedures, practices, technologies and know how that enables the planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling of project activities to successfully manage a project. It may be described as planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling some part of the organization for relatively short period of time to achieve the project objectives with in laid down constraints. • Project Management is the art of directing and coordinating human and material resources throughout life of a project by using modern management techniques to achieve pre- determined objectives of scope cost, time, quality to the equal satisfaction of those involved." The Scope Triangle Typical Project Lifecycle Project Execution • The purpose of execution is to produce, deliver and deploy the project’s outputs. This global stage of a project requires the allocation of internal resources and, in most cases, the purchase of external resources. The processes that underpin initiation and planning are exclusively above-the-line. • The purpose of Project Execution and Control is to develop the product or service that the project was commissioned to deliver. Typically, this is the longest phase of the project management lifecycle, where most resources are applied. Project Execution and Control utilizes all the plans, schedules, procedures and templates that were prepared and anticipated during prior phases. Project Execution and Control Legal Aspects • Risk Insurance: – When a project is initiated, there are obviously certain risks involved. Not only accessing these risks is important, but creating ways to overcome these risks while incorporating them in contract is equally important. • Project contract: – The drafting of the project contract includes the most of lawyer’s contribution. While contracting, he would have to go through the nature of obligations that would arise from the contract and also, the evolution of agreements whilst making business-related decisions. • Change control: – A contract for project when proposed must also include a procedure for change in the contract including the conditions of change and sometimes, listing of the situations only in which the changes can be made. Legal Aspects • Imposing restrictions: – In a project contract between two parties, it is common that the restrictions would be imposed on party by another. It is the duty of the lawyer to check that the restrictions are in consonance with Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act. • Interpretation of Contract: – Any law would include the interpretation part as it is the only way to understand it. The very first part of interpreting any contract is its recitals. • Reprisal of issues by Arbitration or mediation: – It is quite important to include arbitration or mediation clause in the project contract. In case of small disputes between contracting parties, one cannot always approach the Court for that, then the cases would last till eternity and it would become impossible to accomplish the project. The Variables for success Role Of Significant Variables • Time - The amount of time required to complete the project. Typically it is broken down for analytical purposes into the time required to complete the components of the project. This is then further broken down into the time required to complete each task contributing to the completion of each component. • Cost - Calculated from the time variable. Cost to develop an internal project is time multiplied by the cost of the team members involved. When hiring an independent consultant for a project, cost will typically be determined by the consultant or firm's hourly rate multiplied by an estimated time to complete. Role Of Significant Variables • Quality - The amount of time put into individual tasks determines the overall quality of the project. Some tasks may require a given amount of time to complete adequately, but given more time could be completed exceptionally. • Scope - Requirements specified for the end result. The overall definition of what the project is supposed to accomplish, and a specific description of what the end result should be or accomplish. • Risk - Potential points of failure. Most risks or potential failures can be overcome or resolved, given enough time and resources.
