What is Project Management?
What is a project?
- A project is a unique, temporary endeavour, undertaken to achieve planned objectives (APM BoK Ed 6).
– Project management is an effective way of managing change, to turn
strategic intent into reality.
Uniqueness
– Projects are separate to business-as-usual activities, requiring people to
come together temporarily to focus on specific project objectives. As a
result, effective leadership and teamwork is central to successful projects.
Temporary
– A project has a specific start and end point and is set up to meet
specific objectives, to create a specified result, product or service.

Scope

– Understanding the needs of stakeholders.
– Planning what needs to be done, when, by whom, and to what
standards.
– Building and motivating the team.
– Coordinating the work of different people.
– Monitoring work being done.
– Managing any changes to the schedule.
– Managing Risks
