Abstract

The term “project management” has been applied widely in various industries for several decades. Project Management Institute (PMI) in United States claims that the five processes are specially emphasized in project management. They are also necessarily applied with the nine great knowledge aspects of project management, integration, scope, time schedule, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk, and procurement. Project Management Association (IPMA) under European system indicates that method application is a key aspect to achieve efficiently the planning schedule, cost, quality, and scope. According to discussions from British and American systems mentioned above, what is the core aspect in project management? On which aspect shall we expect the project executives to focus in order to achieve the target more efficiently? For this purpose, this research is focusing on proving the three core aspects of planning schedule, quality, and cost, basing on Kano II dimension quality mode. Also, the research result will be provided to operators in project management and the related researchers.

Highlights

  • The associations of Project Management have been divided into two systems: European system and American system

  • Despite how IPMA or Project Management Institute (PMI) defines the main core of Project Management, cost, time schedule, and quality have been listed on top during this research in practical, which are the main breakthrough points of the research

  • From the motivations mentioned above, the purpose of this research has been summed up as following: 1) to discuss the main aspects that project managers in general concern the most; 2) to verify the research’s emphasis of time schedule, quality, and cost being the key aspects in Project Management is true, basing on Kano II dimension quality mode; 3) to explain the PMI’s confirmation to the key aspects in Project Management

Summary

Motivation

“Project management” is a term which has been raised up rapidly in these few decades and has been developed widely in every country and various industries. International Project Management Association, IPMA, under European system, is started around 1965, which pursues project managing method applying to efficiently achieve the planning schedule, cost, quality and scope. Liang the five essential processes in Project Management and nine great knowledge aspects: integration, scope, time schedule, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk, and procurement. Though PMI has marked the five processes and nine knowledge aspects in Project Management, in practice we can discover that time schedule, quality, and cost are the three main concerns for executors [1,2]. Despite how IPMA or PMI defines the main core of Project Management, cost, time schedule, and quality have been listed on top during this research in practical, which are the main breakthrough points of the research
