Content
Project Management is the discipline of organizing and managing resources in such way that the project is completed within defined scope, quality, time and cost constraints. A project is a temporary and one-time endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service, which brings about beneficial change or added value. This property of being a temporary and one-time undertaking contrasts with processes, which are permanent or semi-permanent ongoing functional work to create the same product or service over and over again. Project Management: winning support for the project, stakeholder management; setting goals; effective planning and controlling; risk management; decision making; change management; managing teams; communication strategies.
