What is Project Management?
Project Management is the effort expanded to yield the successful delivery of the project’s outcomes. It is usually defined as staged process whereby a project is initiated, planned, executed, controlled and reviewed. However Project Management is far more involved; it is the coordination of an integrated range of knowledge and skill sets including:
- Scope Management,
- Stakeholder Management,
- Time Management,
- Cost Management,
- Quality Management,
- Human Resource Management,
- Communication Management,
- Risk Management &
- Procurement Management
to yield the optimal outcome for its stakeholders.
Project Management as a career is a dynamic profession which enables the opportunity to work towards the completion of a solution. Salary aside (what a project manager earns?) many are drawn to Project Management due to the non-routine nature of the work and a practical sense of achievement once the project (or parts) have been achieved.
