Management of Standard Production
Project management is considered as the application of knowledge, skills and experiences gained by the study of various project oriented techniques and tools aligned with the objectives of any project (Angulo et al., 2014). In contrast with these facts, the project management concept has become important for telecommunication services.
This report is considering the four approaches of project management for managing the telecommunication services such as implementation of change, Development infrastructure, various forms of applications and implementation new services.
Telecommunication services provide networking technologies, operation support system, content application and methods and procedures for managing network functionalities (Dagli & Jenkins, 2016). First three components are generally the concern of the operators and the last operational element is considered by the specialized providers. The networking perspectives need these service areas to complete any concerned telecommunication project.
The networking technology includes the physical infrastructure such as transmission lines and switches. In addition to this, call forwarding, messaging and other network related operations are performed with respect to these networking technologies (Gautam, 2015). These equipments includes multiplexers, cross connectors, power systems etc. All of these elements are used as the network element within the telecommunication system architecture.
The operation support system is the combination of the network element management systems as well as systems providing the security of network, accounting and billing systems. This component is very important for managing the high quality of performance within the system architecture of any telecommunication system.
The methods and procedures involved within the telecommunication service providences include installation, engineering, maintenance and commonality among various service providers. This component provides distinct advantages to the network infrastructure (Jung & Cha, 2014).
Contents and applications are referred to the creation of contents such as customer relationship management, disaster recovery systems etc. In addition to this, the content packaging includes web hosting, news, voice mails etc. When the service providers need the contents they directly collaborate with these network services (Mir & Dangerfield, 2013). More specifically the service providers use the direct relationship with the end users involved within the network system architecture for using the telecommunication opportunities.
The characteristic of the telecommunication projects, these services needs to be divided into three segments of operations. These three operational areas involve cost, time and quality of produced products (Mughele & Olatokun, 2014). The main constraints to the public service providences are related to the quality and these are dependent on the time as well as cost structures. These aspects are being elaborated as follows:
This category of projects relates to the addition of new features to the existing system architecture of telecommunication networks. These new addition to features are mainly dependent on the customer demands as well as government regulations. The challenges are considered as issues that provides disruption within the development of new network infrastructure. Example of these capabilities can be given as the impact of new regulation (Oko & Nnanna, 2014). The scenario of local number probabilities which indicates the probability of retaining the customer phone numbers needs the support of service providers while the change is going on among service providers.
Examples of Projects in Telecommunication Services
The private networks are generally used by the enterprise or governmental body for managing their internal communication, such as control of traffic networks. The federation of enterprises can also use private networks such as banking sectors and other automotive industries. For example, Automotive Action Group (AAIG) links the auto manufacturers with their suppliers situated in US. Private networks are the examples of attractive and alternative public networks as an option for meeting special requirements.
The installation of temporary networks involves networks for voice, data or video that are mainly associated with specific events (such as Olympic games) (Ryali et al., 2016). These projects generally have an accurate end date and these have to be meet within this due date with accurate cost structure decided for the project. These projects have two main purposes: provide information within time (updates of weather, press conferences etc.) and the establishment of connection with the outside world (through online media access, mail etc.).
In accordance with various examples provided previously, it is identified that the telecommunication projects consists of collection of subprojects with the following characteristics. These are elaborated as follows:
The Complex interfaces are considered as the external interfaces. The interfaces with the vendors and sponsors are different and intricate depending on the situations (Smith, 2014). External and internal interfaces are considered while considering type of interfaces involved within any communication measure.
There are international components involved within the telecommunication services. International communications are generally gone through the technological generations (Such as telegraph to telephone and telex) (Wang et al., 2016). The globalization of business processes simulates the global carriers. Therefore, the international dimensions are important for managing the growth of telecommunication services.
The projects for establishing the telecommunication services are multidisciplinary and cross functional. Construction, physical design and mechanical or computer science are considered as the disciplines involved within telecommunication services. These disciplines are managed and considered while managing the success of the telecommunication projects (Dagli & Jenkins, 2016). For example the construction of building and establishment of antennas must be fire and earthquake protected from various perspectives.
The mass production from the telecommunication services not becomes possible because of the critical system architecture involved within the telecommunication services and this aspect impacts on the evolution of mass production. Due to significant errors and chances of difficulties causes no mass production.
Diverse user community is another important aspect for considering within the projects related to the telecommunication services that needs diversified user community (Gautam, 2015). The user community is considered as diverse as there are different demands from the end users for managing the diversified system architecture within telecommunication projects.
The telecommunication projects are based on the opportunity analysis and concept designing standards. The opportunity analysis and the concept design is considered is managed while operating on the effectiveness of the telecommunication services. Following aspects are considered for opportunity analysis and concept design:
Product definition and project set up is another aspect for maintaining the opportunities involved within the system architecture of any telecommunication projects (Jung & Cha 2014). The network elements and procedures are managed with respect to the product definitions and project set ups.
Design and procurement of equipment sets the successful completion of the project and this is managed with respect to the design and procurement standards involved within the system architecture of any telecommunication network.
The successful completion of the project is dependent on the service development methods and procedures involved within the system architecture of any telecommunication projects (Mir & Dangerfield, 2013). All of these examples provided within this report highlights the elements to be successful in any telecommunication project.
Business and network evaluation is considered as the elemental aspect in developing any network or telecommunication project with successful completion. This is maintained with respect to various competitive system analysis involved by the network manager.
Conclusion
This can be concluded that the project management is one of the vast concepts that are considered as one important aspect for managing the effectiveness of the telecommunication services. This report is presenting the various concepts as well as importance of the project management perspective for managing the telecommunication services within concerned industries.
