Projects are all around us. Virtually every organization runs projects, either formally or informally. We are engaged in projects at home and at work. Across settings, planning principles and execution methodologies can offer ways in which projects can be run more effectively and efficiently. Project management provides organizations (and individuals) with the language and the frameworks for scoping projects, sequencing activities, utilizing resources, and minimizing risks.
Project Management is the process of initiating, planning, executing and managing resources with the aim to complete a given project within a specified timeframe and budget. A successful project manager should have the ability to envision the project from start to finish, as well as the skill to execute it.
