Project Management
Project management is the discipline of defining and achieving targets, over the course of a project, through the efficient allocation of resources.
Careful consideration needs to be given to clarity surrounding project objectives and importantly, the roles and responsibilities of all participants.
Successful project management ensures those assigned:
- Recognise potential problems
- Deal with such risks and any deviances from the original plan
- Work to timescales and meet deadlines
- Use time and money efficiently
- Produce to the quality criteria
- Deliver the expected business benefits
Approach
We distinguish five components to the development of a project:
- Project initiation
- Project planning
- Project execution
- Project monitoring
- Project completion
