Project management interfaces have enabled many organizations in accomplishing various projects in an effective and efficient manner. The same has addressed both internal and external constraints in relationship to external factors of the interim. Furthermore, the management of projects has enabled organizations in preventing any internal project compulsions and makes it adapt to the scope of changes which are interrelated to project goals. This is why the group is supposed to understand various interfaces or approaches which should be combined to facilitate efficient planning removal of constraints and monitoring of the projects. Therefore, the following is a list of different interfaces an organization must adopt in standard project management.
1. Traditional Interface
This approach takes assumptions that the whole project scope and its goals will tend to remain constant throughout the project, i.e., from the start till the end. In this case, the managers are entitled to plan and identify all resources which are then combined to achieve completion of the project. Many organizations have surpassed this approach as it is rigid to changes compared to hybrid project interface approach.
2. Critical chain interfaces
This method assumes behavioral constraints which in return hampers project processes, though the project itself is believed to have many complexities. Both mathematical and behavioral sciences are also used in predictions which can eventually be of great significance in analyzing and removing any constraints. Moreover, use of data has been found to eliminate restrictions in this technique. For instance, when the project manager predicts the organizations' productivity in due time, team members will be able to track the productivity such that at the end constraints will be quickly eliminated. Therefore, this approach has been found to have benefits in sending deliverables which are of high quality on time.
3. Extreme project interfaces approach
In handling dynamic project situations, such as customers' changes in needs, then this particular interface is going to fit such situation very well. Though obtaining full clarity of requirements is sometimes deemed difficult, the project is purely determined by the market forces and changes. Another good example is Cell phone industries where rapid changes are always experienced on a regular basis. The project team, therefore, connects currently available data and necessary changes which modify the whole plans (Lock, 2007).
4. Event chain project strategy
In conclusion, Project management is the greatest tool that is used to estimate and monitor the effort of the project progress while on the other hand analyzing the unexpected or expected risks. It is also the best way of preserving the historical records of past projects which can still aid project students in referring from these registered projects. This is why tools for project management, especially hybrid project management approach, are available in desktop and have proved to be compatible to project management interfaces as well.
