3. Techno-Economic Projects
Projects are sometimes classified on the basis of their techno-economic characteristics. Three main
groups of classification can be identified here:
A. Factor Intensity-oriented classification: On the basis of this classification, projects may be
classified as capital-intensive or labor-intensive depending upon whether a large-scale investment in
plant and machinery or human resources is involved.
B. Causation-oriented classification: Here projects are classified as demand-based or raw materials
based projects – depending on the non – availability of certain goods or services and consequent
demand for such goods or services or the availability of certain raw materials, skills, or other inputs
as the dominant reason for starting the project.
C. Magnitude-oriented classification: In this, the size of investment forms the basis of
classification. Projects may thus be classified as large-scale, medium-scale, or small-scale projects
depending upon the total project investment.
6. Project Analysis, Project Management, and Project Evaluation are the three key
components of the overall project life cycle. Let's dive into each of these elements:
1. Project Analysis:
- Involves the initial assessment and planning of the project
- Includes activities such as:
- Defining the project scope, objectives, and requirements
- Conducting feasibility studies and risk assessments
- Developing the project plan, including the schedule, budget, and resource
allocation
- Identifying stakeholders and their needs
- Determining the appropriate project management methodology and tools
2. Project Management:
- Focuses on the execution and control of the project
- Includes activities such as:
- Assembling and leading the project team
- Coordinating and monitoring project activities
- Managing project scope, schedule, and budget
- Communicating with stakeholders and addressing their concerns
- Identifying and mitigating risks
- Ensuring project quality and compliance
3. Project Evaluation:
- Examines the performance and outcomes of the completed project
- Includes activities such as:
- Measuring the project's success against the defined objectives and success
criteria
- Assessing the project's overall efficiency, effectiveness, and impact
- Identifying lessons learned and areas for improvement
- Documenting the project's outcomes and sharing the results with stakeholders
- Determining the project's return on investment (ROI) or cost-benefit analysis
- Project Analysis provides the foundation for the project by defining the project
scope, objectives, and plan.
- Project Management focuses on the execution and control of the project, ensuring it
is delivered according to the plan.
- Project Evaluation assesses the project's performance and outcomes, providing
valuable insights for future projects and continuous improvement.
