پھیرا پاویں جے ہک چاواں دا
مل پے جائے میریاں ہاواں دا
لوکاں پردے اچے کر لئے نیں
ہن دا نہیں لگدا کاواں دا
ہووے پتر ادب تھیں جے نیواں
ٹھر جاندا کالجہ ماواں دا
جیہڑی پاوے تے لٹکاوے وی
مزا اوندا فیر اداواں دا
فر سونڈی حملہ کر دیندی
پھل کھڑدا جدوں کپاہواں دا
کر ذکر اس سوہنے اللہ دا
جیہڑا مالک ساریاں تھاواں دا
Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Albani is known as the famous scholar of the twentieth century AD. He served in Hadith for almost 60 years. He has also some particularities in the hadith’s research in which he apposed a lot of scholars. The most important of them is that he has said that some Ahadith of Sahih Bukhari and Sahi Muslim are weak. Similarly, in contrast to the previous muhaddiseen, some weak traditions have said correct and some reliable narrators as weak. Apart from this, there are two particularities of him that are very important in the research world. One is that he has explored many of unknown Ahadith and secondly he has divided the books of Hadith into two parts; weak and accurate. Some detail of these particularities is presented in this article.
The existing framework of Project Management advises project managers to exercise nine knowledge areas.
These are management of the project's Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, HR, Communication, Procurement, Risk and
Integration. It suggests entertaining these nine knowledge areas in five processes that are initiating, planning,
executing, controlling and closing the project. The knowledge on HR Management (HRM) declares fourteen
functions that this study identified applicable to Project Management. The literature stresses that managing
all these knowledge areas determines project's outcome. The literature further indicates that nine knowledge
areas are not equal in priority and HRM is not given the needful precedence. The study perceived that it is not
pragmatic for a project manager to perform the nine knowledge areas and all the applicable functions of HRM
efficiently.
From January 2005 to January 2008, this study discovered that in the IT industry of Islamabad — Rawalpindi,
Pakistan, project managers were assigned neither all the nine knowledge areas nor all the applicable functions
of HRM. The study observed that projects suffered where HRM was underestimated. Can the quality in practice
of HRM make or break projects? If yes, what minimum functions of HRM should be assigned to a project
manager to benefit projects? Further, how can the project manager's role for precise number of knowledge
areas be defined? The study assumed that precise and well-defined role of a project manager in terms of the
nine knowledge areas and HRM can make the existing framework for Project Management more adoptable.
For this purpose integrating the literature and the real practices in the selected IT industry this study
identified and selected five FIRM functions as independent variables (IVs) keeping project result as dependent
variable (DV). The IVs include selecting right person, assigning workload, setting timelines, communication
and monitoring performance.
This study hypothesized that the result of specific IT/Telecom project is correlated with and regressed by the
quality in the practice of the mentioned HRM functions. Utilizing a valid and reliable instrument the study
collected data for a stratified sample of 70 heterogeneous IT/Telecom projects from the selected 24
IT/Telecom organizations. Employing frequency & descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlations, regression
and PLS regression the analyses were conducted. All the selected IVs were found correlated with project result.
Individually no 1V regressed project result but collectively they all regressed the DV.
The study substantiated its hypotheses based on results of regression and PLS regression. It inferred that good
quality, practice of all the selected HR functions paves success for 1T/Telecom project while their substandard
practice will lead project to suffering. The conclusion of the study is applicable on the IT projects of large scope
and team size with well-defined type provided all the other knowledge areas for project management are
exercised with necessary equilibrium. Based on results this study declares that a project manager should
perform at least these five functions of HRM.
The study designed templates to help project managers performing these HR functions. The mentioned results
and findings from the IT industry about the knowledge areas enabled this study reshaping the existing
framework for Project Management. It contributes that project manager better be set responsible only for the
management of scope, time, cost, HR and communication for projects while quality, risk and procurement for
projects better be managed at organization level. Project manager should consider HRM, Communication and
technology the driving tools for managing other knowledge areas.
