maintaining quality against outside project pressures

------------EXCERPT------------------

Introduction

Project management is an important task as it is done to attain a specific purpose. Project management entails initiating, planning, implementing and monitoring the steps taken then control the project so as to achieve the targeted aim and finally closure because the project is fully operational. Project management provides an overlook on the programs such as network upgrades, cloud computing, data management, and hardware installations. There are problems that may interfere with the process. An example of such problem is maintaining quality against outside project measures. The problems also include technological changes thus need for improvement on technology while the project is still running (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). A good quality in project management assures that the desired outcome is achieved. Although the external influences in project management are neglected, I consider it as a problem because it alters the quality that is expected of the project.

Background

Project management started in the 1950s. The construction of Great Wall of China is an example of projects. The project was achieved because of proper management through a good organization of laborers that made the project be accomplished (Gido, Clements, & Clements, 2014). In 1957, the Critical Path method was created by DuPont Corporation. United States Navy launched Program Evaluation Review Technique that examines the events needed to complete a project. In 1997, Critical Chain Project Management was created which ensures that the project is completed using set timelines through the use of algorithms (Schwalbe, 2015). Project management has been complex because of the external pressures that interfere with the smooth running of projects.

Problem Statement

The problem to be addressed by further research is the issue of maintaining quality despite outside project pressures. In information technology project management, there is a framework of steps that are followed to achieve the desired project function (Fuller, Valacich, George, & Schneider, 2017). Interfering with the framework will lead to failure of the project in the end. Therefore, the external pressures that have a negative impact on the project should be controlled to ensure that upon the completion of the project, the expected quality of the project has been acquired. Pressure from outside includes advancement in technology within the duration of the project, and complex user requirements on the p
