R & D project management, need to do these tasks

　　R&D project management, starting from the start of the project, requires a lot of work. In order to better manage the R&D project and achieve the ultimate goal of the project, these tasks need to be done well. These tasks are: team formation, cost management, communication management, time management and risk management. To do these jobs well, it is very necessary to have a reasonable and scientific project plan and adequate resource support. Of course, if you want your work to be done in vain, the project must be a feasible project that meets market demand, otherwise, no matter how well the project management work is done, it is just useless work.

　　Feasibility study and plan of the project

　　"everything is predicated on, otherwise it will be discarded", and the formulation of the project plan is undoubtedly very important for the operation of the whole project. Sufficient research work should be done before product pre-research and project establishment, and the research content should at least include: market feasibility research, technical feasibility research, economic and cost feasibility research, and intellectual property research.

　　After discovering the target market, enterprises need to have various resource conditions to determine whether they can achieve their goals. If they find deficiencies, they should create conditions in time to make up for them. A complete project plan should include the following contents: clear goals, resources, cost, quality, time schedule, completion marks, task names, levels and their decomposition, constraints of upper-level tasks, coordination of lower-level tasks, and stage milestones.

　　After having a plan, in the process of R&D project implementation, it is necessary to do these tasks well, so as to be closer to the success of the project:

　　1. Team formation

　　"What kind of development team is there, what kind of new products are there." People, no doubt It is the most important factor in the operation of the project. The ultimate failure of many projects is due to the lack of strong leadership, the lack of support from senior managers, and the lack of teamwork and other human resource factors.

　　2. Cost management

　　Cost control is not limited to Lenovo's on-site management, reducing material consumption, and improving production efficiency. In fact, the cost of an enterprise includes three major parts: design (R&D) cost, manufacturing cost, and sales cost. While paying attention to manufacturing costs, sales costs, etc., we should also set our sights higher, and take the cost control of the R&D process as the starting point for the cost control of the entire project. This is the key to overall cost control.

　　3. Communication management The importance of

　　communication in team work is self-evident. In addition to formulating communication plans, and regularly conducting progress communication, performance reporting and information processing according to the information needs and communication requirements of various stakeholders in the project, enterprises should also attach importance to communication with customers. The end user and evaluator of a product is the customer, whether it is a business or consumers, maintaining effective communication channels is an effective way to ensure that the project is moving in the right direction. With the help of some information technology, such as using the online communication function in the project management system to carry out real-time work communication and interaction. In this way, the speed of information dissemination can be accelerated, the information interference caused by information lag is less, and the communication problems caused by misleading information can be reduced.

　　4. Time management

　　Time management is a key function in project management, also known as schedule management, which is crucial to the control of project progress. On the basis of scope management, by determining and adjusting reasonable work sequence and work cycle, time management can make the resource allocation and cost reach the best state under the condition of meeting the project time requirements. Appropriate use of project management software to obtain the work progress of project members in a timely manner can achieve more effective progress tracking management.

　　5. Risk management

　　In project management, risk is defined as "uncertainty that can affect one or more of the project's objectives". After the risk is identified, we should consider the consequences of this uncertainty. We can assume several situations of uncertainty and analyze the results they will lead to, which is the "scenario analysis" method. Businesses can then develop responses for each situation. According to the characteristics of the project risk, the project organization's ability to resist risks, the alternative risk response measures and methods, opportunities and threats, etc., adopt the purchase of insurance, formulate contingency plans, obtain various resources from outside, set up emergency unforeseen costs, formulate Alternative overall project plans or specific implementation plans, etc.

　　If you can find a suitable project management system software to assist in the management of the project execution process, you will be able to do the above five tasks better, and the work efficiency and quality of the project team will also be improved.
