- No doubts. An adult doesn't have to hire anyone to buy a bicycle. Work on bigger and costlier projects commonly involves two parties. Project administration is one party; it orders and finances project works. Project management is another party; it delivers the work product.
- Both parties may belong to one or two organizations. The organization that orders the project is called a project customer. The organization that delivers project results is called is a project owner.
- The project owner is responsible for project management. Often, it sets up a special project management office (PMO) that directs, monitors, and/or supports project personnel.
- A project manager is a key role in Waterfall projects. This person leads project planning until the project baselines are approved, project executing until the deliverables are validated, and project closing.
but project administration is often distributed between two organizations if two organizations are involved in one project.
- Enterprise administration is what project administrators do. They identify a business need or problem, initiate a project to create a solution, and provide the budget for the project work. The administrator can be the customer, customer's employee, representative,
- For Waterfall projects, these representatives may be called
The paying customer is the mandatory role on that side. The customer may hire a product owner, project sponsor, or other people whose area of responsibility is making sure that the customer's money are spent on the product that the customer looks for and that is delivered on time.
- If the project work is or can be predicted, the project manager plans the development, discusses the plan with the customer's representative, and executes the approved plan.
- If the project work cannot be predicted, manager's opportunities to plan are limited. Agile methodologies address that issue. Developers usually work in iterations and, as soon as new increments are developed and new data is discovered, discuss the future product and its delivery with the customer's representative. Scrum Masters or similar ceremonial roles control the development process.
- Project managers control the development of the right product at the right budget and on the right schedule. Scrum Masters don't deal with work products and deliveries; instead, Scrum Masters make sure that the development goes according to the agreed rules.
- In CNM Agile, a project manager is rarely a dedicated role; project management is distributed and projects are managed at a micro-level.
