WHAT IS PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
• Project management is “the application of
knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to
project activities to meet the project
requirements.”
– Project managers must not only strive to meet
specific scope, time, cost, and quality
requirements of projects, they must also facilitate
the entire process to meet the needs and
expectations of the people involved in or affected
by project activities.
WHAT IS PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
Importance of project management
1. Short project life cycle
– Good project management helps to speed up the project life cycle into the
market and give a competitive advantage.
2. Quality management and improvement

– Good project management helps to set quality benchmarks and
measurements to ensure project achieves the desired quality through
effective management of time, cost and scope.
3. Corporate downsizing
– Project management is replacing middle managers as a way of ensuring that
things get done. Companies outsource segments of project work, and
project managers have to manage not only their own people but also their
counterparts in different organizations.
4. Increased customer focus

– Project management helps to develop customized products and services
that cater to specific needs.
