It's been a while since I took a PM course.  However, as I recall quality management is part of the PM life cycle.  I am in the quality profession and strongly believe that this is how a company achieves improvement.\n\nThere are many variations on the quality management idea (you may have heard of some of them such as Six Sigma, Kaisen, etc).  The basic idea is constant improvement:\n*  Assess the project after it is complete (in proj management you may call this a Project Post Mortem).\n*  Learn from your mistakes, i.e., change the process, implement preventative measures, etc.

when an organisation is in business it must decide what it is going to do how, and why? This is the planning stage, a study of the external and internal environments (environmental scanning) will show what the core competances of the compnay are and they can set about establishing goals, the goal must be inline with what these are and how they are going to achieve it and must permeate through the whole oganisation so they are aware of what they want.\n\ngoogle search click on advanced and then search in domains ac.uk, should give you some good answers, or try bized.co.uk?\n\nhope it helps

- note down each & every piece of information about the project\n- classify this information into known categories like:\n   -- scope of the project\n   -- goals / milestones - major, minor, etc. to be achieved\n   -- required resources like manpower, tools, environment, etc.\n- evaluate the time & the cost required for the above resources\n- analyse the risks involved & classify them into Major, Minor, etc.\n- confirm whether have all the knowledge & capability to work on the project or \n- do you need to do more research on it as well\nhope this helps

Organization.\n\nBreak down larger parts of a problem (project) into smaller parts and get each of those done in time. Bring the parts back together and you have your whole project finished.

The link below describes the role of a project manager.  This is a generic description, but the role would be largely the same for a software implementation project.

Dear Hira, \n\nTeam has four stages of process:\n\n1. Forming: It is the stage when ppl from diff departments/functions are get together.\n\n2. Storming: It is the point when ppl are not yet clear how to undertake the project. So everyone blow his/her horns.\n\n3. Norming: It is the stage when things are settled, responsibilities are defined and everyone knows what is expected from him/her.\n\n4. Performing: It is the point where team starts to work like a well oiled engine. \n\nSo probably your team is at storming stage, needn't worry. You have to sit together, join your heads, define assumptions, duties and responsibilities. Soon you will find your self at stage of norming and hopefully performing.

Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery -- a new way to design and build capital facilities.  Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. \n\nApplied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste - to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process. As a result:\n\n    * The facility and its delivery process are designed together to better reveal and support customer purposes. Positive iteration within the process is supported and negative iteration reduced.\n    * Work is structured throughout the process to maximize value and to reduce waste at the project delivery level.\n    * Efforts to manage and improve performance are aimed at improving total project performance because it is more important than reducing the cost or increasing the speed of any activity.\n    * "Control" is redefined from "monitoring results" to "making things happen." The performance of the planning and control systems are measured and improved.\n\nThe reliable release of work between specialists in design, supply and assembly assures value is delivered to the customer and waste is reduced. Lean Construction is particularly useful on complex, uncertain and quick projects. It challenges the belief that there must always be a trade between time, cost, and quality

That is dependant on a lot of factors.  Including standard practice of the organization you're working with, type of project and scope of project.  Below are some links to explore.

If you're talking about the PMP certification from PMI, it lets people know that you have some PM experience, and that you are familiar with PMBOK and with PM best practices.\n\nWhether this means you're an effective project manager or not is a different question.  Just because you have your PMP doesn't mean you're any good - but it does mean you can speak "the language".

"Realisation phase" is not a standard project management term.  Are you referring to a concept, or perhaps, requirements phase ? Or even the realization of project results in the execution phase ?
