What is Project Management

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.
