Project Management

Project management is a process that includes planning, putting the project plan into action, and measuring progress and performance. It involves identifying the project requirements, establishing project objectives, balancing constraints, and taking the needs and expectations of the key stakeholders into consideration. Planning is one of the most important functions you’ll perform during the course of a project. It sets the standard for the rest of the project’s life and is used to track future project performance

Project management brings together a set of tools and techniques—performed by people—to describe, organize, and monitor the work of project activities. Project managers are the people responsible for managing the project processes and applying the tools and techniques used to carry out the project activities. All projects are composed of processes, even if they employ a haphazard approach. There are many advantages to organizing projects and teams around the project management processes endorsed by PMI.

Project management involves applying knowledge, skills, and techniques during the course of the project to accomplish the project requirements. It is the responsibility of the project manager to ensure that project management techniques are applied and followed.
