Introduction to Project Management

What is Project Management?

Project management is one of the most important disciplines in the working world and briefly covers planning, organising and controlling projects. The term projects in this sense may not apply to individual projects completed on a day to day basis, rather it encompasses specific goals and success criteria, meaning that project management transcends industries and job roles. Project Managers have full oversight of the day to day running of tasks, with each stage of a project planned, implemented, and signed off by the Project Manager.

Project management ensures that companies and businesses (no matter how big or small) run smoothly and efficiently. Businesses know that any employee with knowledge of project management theories will bring a direct and immediate return of investment, this is through the improvement to productivity and efficiency that will be provided by a working knowledge of project management.

In regards to project management an individual project is a process that produces a specific deliverable, whether this be a product or a service, and project management theories allow us to explore various ways of achieving deliverables in the most effective means possible. Generally speaking the primary challenge of project management is achieving all of the project goals within the constraints of an organisation. Project Managers often have to deal with a number of constraints and various project management theories agree that scope, time, quality, and budget are the main constraints facing any project.
