Project System (PS) OVERVIEW
Projects usually play a role in an organization. A project-specific method of organization is required in order to monitor and regulate all the tasks that are involved in realizing a project. This method of organization should be positioned so that it overlaps with the departments involved.
Projects have the following properties:
* Complex, unique, to be undertaken in a defined time period
* Cost-intensive, capacity-intensive
* Goals defined in detail (sponsor and contractor in conjunction with each other)
* Of strategic importance for the organization in question
Before a project can be carried out, detailed project goals have to be defined, and
the project work to be performed has to be structured. A structured project forms
the basis for planning, monitoring, and control. A project is structured from two
aspects:
* Structuring using a work breakdown structure The project is divided into individual work breakdown structure (WBS) elements,
which are arranged hierarchically. The project structures for project
management and control are defined.
* Structuring using a network The elements are arranged into a chronological sequence.
* Two separate projects have been defined in the IDES system so that you can demonstrate how to structure and work through projects in the R/3 System:
* Information technology project
* Engineering project
