Chapter 1

1.1 Cilj knjige

Glavni cilj knjige je da identifikuje podskup PMBOK koji je opste prepoznat kao dobra praksa.
  • Da identifikuje znaci da pruzi opsti pregled nasuprot iscrpljujuci, uobicajenim opisima.
  • Opste prepoznatim, znaci da je znanje i iskustvo koje je opisano primenljivo na vecinu projekata, u vecini vremena i da postoji sirok konsenzus o njihovimvrednostima i koristi.
  • Dobra praksa znaci da je opstim sporazumom o pravilnoj primeni ovih vestina, alata i tehnika moguce dosegnuti uspeh u sirokom opsegu razlicitih projekata. Dobra praksa ne znaci da je znanje koje je opisano uvek primenljivo i da se mora primeniti na sve projekte.
Tim menadzera projekta je taj koji je odgovoran u odlucivanju sta je prikladno za dati projekat.

Knjiga takodje pruza i uobicajene izraze za diskusiju, pisanje i primenu upravljanja projektima. ovakav standard je osnovni element profesije.
Ovi standardi nisu jedini. Postoje i drugi standardi ali zbog malog broja projekata na kojima su primenjeni, time se nismo bavili.
Standardi takodje ne pruzaju detalje o svakoj temi. Teme koje nisu obradjene ne znaci da nisu bitne.
Razlozi zbog kojih neka tema nije obradjena su:
  • mozda su u nekom drugom standardu,
  • mozda su toliko opsti da nema niceg posebnog u njihovoj primeni,
  • ne postoji dovoljan konsenzus oko neke teme. Nedostatak konsensuza znaci da je mozda u opticaju nekoliko dobrih standarda ali da se jos ne moze utvrditi koji je opste prihvacen; kao i ko u organizaciji treba da bude zaduzen, koja organizacija treba da ga primenjuje.

1.1.1 citaoci knjige

1.2 sta je projekat

1.2.1 karakterisite projekta

Projekat je privremena aktivnost nastala zbog stvaranja jedinstvenog proizvoda, usluge ili rezultata.

privremenost
privremeno znaci da svaki projekat ima svoj pocetak i kraj. to ne znaci da projekat traje kratko. moze da traje i nekoliko godina, ali njegova konacnost je sigurna. kraj projekta nastupa kada su dostignuti zadati ciljevi ili kada se projekat prekine jer je ocigledno da ciljevi ne mogu da se ispune. projekat takodje moze da se prekine i kada prestane potreba za njim.
projekat nije sledeci posao u nizu (ongoing efforts).

privrmenost se ne podrazumeva na proizvode, usluge ili rezultat, koji su nastali projektom. naprotiv, vecina projekata i ima za svrhu da svoje stvorene ciljeve sto duze odrzi vazecim.
projekti takodje mogu da imaju namerno ili slucajno socijalni, ekonomski i environmental uticaj, sto prevazilazi sam projekat.
neki projekti nastaju zbog kratke mogucnosti da se na trzistu iskoristi neka pogodnost.
clanoi projekta se razilaze nakon zavrsenog projekta.

jedinstvenost proizvoda, usluge ili rezultata
projekat stvara neki jedinstvenu promenljivu kao sto je proizvod, usluga ili rezultat.
projekat moze da stvori:
  • proizvod (artifact) koji se proizvodi i koji je brojiv
  • mogucnost da pruzanje usluga, kao sto je podrska poslovnim funkcijama ili distribucija
  • rezultat, je neki izlaz ili dokument. na primer, projekat istrazivanj razvija znanja koja mogu da se koriste da odrede da li je ili nije nesto od koristi da se pravi, proizvodi
jedinstvenost je vazna karakteristika koju pojekat pruza. na primer, hiljade kuca se gradi, ali svaka od njih je jedinstvena - drugi vlasnik, drugaciji dizajnm druga lokacija, drugi izvodjaci i tako dalje. prisutnost elemenata koji se ponavljaju ne menja osnovni znacaj jedinstvenosti projekta.

stalna elaboracija
stalna elaboracija je karakteristika projekata koji ide uz koncept privremenosti i jedinstvenosti. to znaci razvijanje po koracima i stalni rast.
na primer, doseg projekta se u pocetku siroko opisuje, u ranim fazama projekta, ali se detaljnije opisuje kako se tim razvija i kako se bolje shvataju ciljevi i produkti.
stalnu elaboraciju ne treba mesati sa scope creep (doseg miljenja) - Section 5.5

stalnu elaboraciju treba pazljivo koordinisati sa jasno definisanim opsegom projekta, posebno ako je projekat pod ugovorom. razlika izmedju opsega proizvoda i opega projekta je opisana u Chapter 5.

1.2.2 projekat vs. operativnom radu

organizaicja postoji da bi distigla zadatiskup ciljeva. uopsteno, posao moze da se kategorizuje kao projekat ili kao operacija, takodjei da se preklapaju ova dva pojma.
ono sto je zajednicko je:
izvode ih ljudi
imaju ogranicene resurse
planiranje, izvodjenje i kontrola

operacije su u toku i ponavalju se. projekti su privremeni i jedinstveni.

ciljevi projekta i operacija su sustinski drugaciji.
cilj projekta je da dosegne svoje ciljeve i da se prekine.
ciljevi operacija su da odrzavaju posao.
projekti su drugaciji jer sadrze posebno odredjene ciljevem dok operacije usvajaju novi skup ciljeva i nastavljaju sa radom.

1.2.3 projekti i stratesko planiranje

projekti u stvari znace da aktivnost organizacije ne moze da dosegne odredjene ciljeve svojim redovnim aktivnostima. projekti su tako opremljeni da dostignu icljeve organizacije i njene strateske planove, bez obzira da li su clanovi tima ujedno i clanovi organizacije ili je angazovana treca strana.

projekti su obicno odobreni kao rezultat jednog ili vise strateskih razmatranja:
  • zahtevi trzista - rafinerija mora da sagradi novi objekat da ne bi ostaja bez prodaje na tom delu
  • zahtevi oragnizacije - kompanija za obucavanje zahteva novi kurs kako bi povecala svoje prihode
  • zahtevi musterija - elektro firma mora da sagrdi novi objekat za industrijski park
  • tehnoloska prednost - softverska kuca je napravila novu igricu, i sada se pojavila potreba da se napravi novi hardver
  • pravni zahtevi - upostavljena nova regulacija o otrovnim materijama

1.3 sta je Project Management

Project Management je aplikacija znanja, vestina, alata i tehnika za aktivnost projekta koji sluzi za postizanje zahteva projekta.
PM je doteran kroz palikaciju i integraciju procesa u okviru PM kao sto su:
inicijacija,
  • planiranje,
  • izvrsavanje,
  • nadgledanje i kontrola
  • zatvaranje.
project manager je osoba koja je odgovorna za doterivanje ciljeva projekta
upravljanje projektom sadrzi:
  • prepoznavanje zahteva
  • uspostavljanje jasnih i moguce ostvarvih ciljeva
  • balansiranje izmedju zahteva za kvalitetom, opsegom, vremenom i troskovima
  • adaptacija prema specificnostima, planovima i pristupu ka razlicitim stavkama i ocekivanjima razlicitih ulagaca.

The Scorpions - Still Loving You

Time, it needs time
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

I'll fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can break down the walls someday
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you

Try, baby, try
To trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love
Just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall so strong
That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again

If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride and I know
What you've been through
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving, I need your love
I'm still loving you

Duran Duran - Save A Prayer

You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun,
So you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into your well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
(Like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after,
Save it till the morning after

Pretty looking road,
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise,
Melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after

Brian McFadden - Real To Me

Showbiz dinners and the free champagne,
Men in suits who think they know it all,
No one knows me, but they know my name
That's not Real to Me

Hotel Lobby to the aeroplane,
Another country but they start to look the same
Watch the world behind a window pane
That's not real to me

[Chorus]
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I raise my family and live in peace,
Now that's what real to me, real to me

Dying flowers in a dressing room,
A dangerous time to let your head make up it own mind,
Got me thinking that the spirits flown,
That's not real to me

[Chorus]
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I raise my family and live in peace,
Now that's what real to me, real to me

Picnics in the garden, and the children they can play
The first day of that summer,
And I laze here all the day,
Then we'll invite the family round and drink some English tea
Then I raise up my finger,
And watch football on T.V.

Now that's what real to me

[Chorus]
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I raise my family and live in peace,
Now that's what's real to me, that's what's real to me
Real to me

Wake up you might be dreamin'
Wake up you might be dreamin' now

R.E.M. - Leaving New York Lyrics

It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything...
Comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake
I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden the frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the life fading out
Now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take...
The loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in way
And on our lost till in my eyes, shadow of necklace across your thigh
I might have lived my life in a dream, but i swear, this is real
Memory fuses in shatters out glass, but carry your future, forget the past
But it's you, it's what i feel.

You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)
You might have hidden the frown (change)
You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out

You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
You find it in your heart, change...
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
I told you ,I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
I told you, I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)

You might have laughed if I told you (forever, forever,I told You, forever)
You might have hidden the frown (change)
You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the life fading out (change)
Leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out (change)
Leaving new york never wasy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the life fading out (change)

Eagles - Hotel California

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave!

Aventura - Obsesion

Somethin flava
Aventura (suena un teléfono)

Hello shh
sólo escucha...

Son las cinco en la mañana
y yo no he dormido nada
pensando en tu belleza
yo loco voy a parar
que mi insomnio es mi castigo
tu amor será mi alivio
y hasta que no seas mía
no viviré en paz
Hoy conocí tu novio
pequeño y no buen mozo
Y sé que él no te quiere
por su forma de hablar
Además tú no lo amas
porque él no da la talla
No sabe complacerte
como lo haría yo
Pero tendré paciencia
Porque no es competencia
Por eso no hay motivos
para yo irrespetarlo...

Noooooo, no es amor
lo que tú sientes
Se llama obsesión
Una ilusión
en tu pensamiento
Que te hace hacer cosas
así funciona el corazón

Bien vestido y en mi Lexus
pasé por tu colegio
Me informan que te fuiste
Como un loco te fui alcanzar
Te busqué y no te encontraba
Y eso me preocupaba
Para calmar mi ansia
yo te quería llamar
Pero no tenía tu número
Y tu amiga ya me lo negó
ser bonito mucho me ayudó
Eso me trajo la solución
Yo sé que le gustaba
Y le di una mirada
con par de palabritas
tu número me dio
Del celular llamaba
y tú no contestabas
Luego te puse un “beeper”
y no había conexión
Mi única esperanza
es que oigas mis palabras
“No puedo tengo novio”
“No me enganches por favor...”

Nooooo, no es amor… (escúchame por favor)
Lo que tú sientes... (qué es)
Se llama obsesión...
Una ilusión (estoy perdiendo el control)
En tu pensamiento
Que te hace hacer cosas
así funciona el corazón... (mi amor por dios no me enganches)(digo más)

Hice cita pa'l psiquiatra
A ver si me ayudaba
Pues ya no tengo amigos
por sólo hablar de ti
Lo que quiero es hablarte
Para intentar besarte
Será posible que por una obsesión que uno pueda morir
Y quizás pienses que soy tonto
“bribón” y también loco
Pero es que en el amor soy muy original
No enamoro como otros
Conquisto a mi modo
Amar es mi talento
te voy a enamorar
Disculpa si te ofendo
Pero es que soy honesto
Con lujo de detalles
Escucha mi versión
pura crema y chocolate
Juntarte y devorarte
Llevarte a otro mundo
En tu mente, corazón
Ven vive una aventura
Hagamos mil locuras
Voy hacerte caricias que no se han inventado... (Let me find out)

No es amor, no es amor
Ssssssh, ah... Es una obsesión
No es amor, no es amor
Ssssssh, ah... Es una obsesión (Bis hasta el final)

Aventura - Obsesion (english remix)

yo yo this is the remix...

It is 5 in the morning, I'm feelin kinda lonely
On top of that I'm horny, and I need u here with me.
Did I mention I can't sleep? You're always in my dreams
Y si no estas conmigo it won't be feelin right
Today I met ur man just smiled and walked away
To know how soon his girl just might become my wife
And he's no competition, let me give u a reason
You know you don't love him cuz he is not the one
You know he's kinda wack and that is so, so sad
To see how such a beauty is wasting all her time

No, I know it ain't love. Lo que tu sientes se llama obsesión.
Una ilusión, that plays with your mind and makes you take action
And you're obsessed that's how it goes.


Plus in jiggy in my Lexus pase por tu colegio
Me informan que te fuiste, going crazy I ran for you
Te busque y no te encontraba y eso me preocupaba
Para calmar mi ansia yo te quería llamar
But I didn't have ur digits, and ur girl just kept on dissing
And I know she must've liked me, me miraba con pasion
Baby, baby, I need your love stop ur frontin and give it up something is
going wrong
Gonna be ur Romeo.


No, yo sé que no es amor, what u're feelin for me(what is it... what is it?)
se llama obsesión (rip my heart)
Una ilusión en tu pensamiento que te hace hacer cosas así funciona el corazón.


Judy no por favor, go tell ur man that he gotta go

Cardigans - My Favorite Game

I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, thats for sure
You rip me off, you spread me all around
In the dust of a deartide?
And this is no case of lust you see
Its not a matter of you versus me
Its fine the way you want to be on your own
But in the end its always me alone

I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
I know you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a legal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again

I'm losing my baby, losing my favoutite game
I'm losing my favourite game (losing my favourite)
You're losing your mind again (I try)
I try but you're still the same (I try)
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and saint

Roy Orbison - I Drove All Night

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was drying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go
I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Is that all right?
I drove all night

Duran Duran - Wild Boys

The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us,
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
You're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Let The Sunshine In

We starve; look; at one another, short of breath
walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Somewhere
inside something there is a rush of
greatness
Who knows what stands in front of
Our lives
I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything; Everything...

Manchester England, England
Manchester England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea...
And I'm a genius genius,
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me, that's me... that's me...
..The rest is silence...the rest is silence..

We starve; look; at one another, short of breath
walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Singing; our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, Dearie

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in...

Leonard Cohen - Dear Heather - There For You

Words and music by Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson.

When it all went down
And the pain came through
I get it now
I was there for you

Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you

I make my plans
Like I always do
But when I look back
I was there for you

I walk the streets
Like I used to do
And I freeze with fear
But I'm there for you

I see my life
In full review
It was never me
It was always you

You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
I can't repair

Making objects
Out of thoughts
Making more
By thinking not

Eating food
And drinking wine
A body that
I thought was mine

Dressed as Arab
Dressed as Jew
O mask of iron
I was there for you

Moods of glory
Moods so foul
The world comes through
A bloody towel

And death is old
But it's always new
I freeze with fear
And I'm there for you

I see it clear
I always knew
It was never me
I was there for you

I was there for you
My darling one
And by your law
It all was done
