For 21st century telcos, business as usual is a thing of the past. New technologies appear, and the regulatory environment is constantly evolving. Good Project Management tools and techniques can make the difference between success or failure with crucial budgetary, scope and schedule requirements and getting into the market with a winning product. The three project dimensions: investment, scope, and time become more and more critical as competition heats up, andcompanies compete for shares of the rapidly changing market. Sometimes the most challenging goal is customer satisfaction delivering what the customer wants and needs, on time and on budget, and at the same time motivating the project team for even better performance in tomorrows projects. Classical Project Management techniques are widely understood. In the telecom industry, though, and especially when developing something completely new, things may need to be done a bit differently, and there are advantages to be gained from going beyondstandard processes. This book illustrates, via sample projects, the application of the aspects of Project Management as advocated by the Project ManagementInstitute, the international organization that certifies Project Managers, tothe special needs of the telecom industry. Telecom projects require the involvement of all traditional functional areas, including sales, marketing, engineering, operations, purchasing, engineering economics. The chapters work through three telecom projects, from different corporate perspectives. One project involves the development of a new wireless technology which will allow the telco to offer services to remote cities using fourth generation cellular technology, a second evolves an existing landline network circuit switching to IP, delivering internet services, and the third designs and installs a corporate customer network showcasing services offered by the telco.
