hi...

Projects are generally part of the internal processes of a company.It controls all tasks

in project execution.Before u carry out the project,

goals of project must be precisely described and the project activities to be carried out must be structured.

A project structure shoud be clear to carry out any successful project planning, monitoring,

and control.

We use wbs,network and activities,these are basic terms.

Wbs - work breakdown structure is a structure.Depending on the phase of your project,v can continue to break down the tasks and activities in project, step-by-step, until you reach the level of detail necessary to carry it out.

Network - A network can represent the sequence of activities in a project or the sequence of a single activity within a project.

Activities- is a process.In activies there is internal and external activities.

Hi,

SAP Project Systems supports comprehensive functions for planning, controlling & organizing all activities carried out during the course of a project. It helps you manage your project structures, dates, costs, and resources throughout the entire project lifecycle. Project Systems is management approach which enables users to compare and analyze various projects effectively with a clear and comprehensive integrated methodology in order to ensure an expeditious management decision making.

Project – activities executed by different departments for a common objective/purpose and in which the total budget satisfies a standard amount for each objective/purpose.

At the highest level of SAP PS, projects are defined and then structured into an organizational form that maps to the specific project.

1. Work Breakdown Structure- The project is first broken down into work breakdown structures (WBS)

which map to specific project deliverables.

2. Networks - Each WBS can then be broken down into networks of activities. A network can be thought

of as a list of tasks organized into a process flow with specific timing.

3. Activities - Activities are the key tasks to be completed. These activities map to internal activities,

external activities, cost activities and materials components.

4. Work Centers - Internal activities are assigned to work centers (resources) to be completed.
