Abstract

Facilities managers may need to act as project managers (PMs) for a range of projects from small internal moves to major building works. This chapter discusses the fundamentals of project management, and the roles and responsibilities of a PM. A project brief typically contains a terms of reference (TOR) document; the minimum TOR can be created by using the mnemonic BOSCAM. A quality plan is typically used in large projects or projects over 6 months duration. FADE project methodology, an example of one approach to project management, is a problem-solving system in which each phase has an output. Projects in controlled environments (PRINCE) is based on the formal life cycle of a project. The planning stage of a project is the most important aspect of all the managerial tasks that a project manager must do. Project support and project handover are also explained in the chapter.
