Study on Architecture-Oriented Project Management

With the technology advance day by day, it is becoming the common way to accomplish the challenges of difficult engineering by project management method. Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) theory is competent, why is it difficult to push this theory when face practical works? Today, most project managerial are according to the nine major knowledge fields of PMBOK and five major processes, though it is the methodology of a theory, the practical demands for projects seemed too complicated. Because the project manager often unable to bring the skills into full play even be the problem of the project, and members of the project lack basic understanding for the project. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple but effective way, overcoming the Non-Architecture-Oriented Project Management (NAOPM) approach, to accord with the practices of the project.
Architecture is structure and process in one unity. Architecture-Oriented Project Management (AOPM) is namely the project managerial model that project managerial structure elements and project managerial processes unity. From the structure view, AOPM can be resolved out a lot of structure elements and " People " is the most important structure element. The structure elements have their own operations and interactions among them generate processes. There are three golden rules to build the AOPM model. First, select the structure elements of project management. Second, set up the operations of the structure elements. Third, combine structure and process in one unity finally.
Comparing AOPM with NAOPM logically, the former one could assign jobs in an easy way. Therefore, each member of the project could fully understand his responsibility and reduce the whole risks. Besides, AOPM is able to describe the entire project completely. Because of the ability to cope with the variable environment, it could reduce effectively the waste caused by repeat working and inobservance. For one simple and practical method to manage a project, and AOPM is approved in fact to be an extremely good one.
For any enterprise, the key factor of a project¡¦s success relies on the leaders and individuals. NAOPM failing to assign managed rules to each individual for a project is elaborated in the context. The major contribution of this research is to integrate structure and process in one unity. In the future, we suggest a software implementation of AOPM tool is developed. Afterward, we can use this AOPM software tool to guide an enterprise the planning, execution and management of a project.
