Project Management

Description

A Project is a set of agreed activities with a definite start, middle and end. Together these activities produce business products or services in line with an approved business case which is sponsored by senior managers within the organisation. Project Management provides structure and control of the project environment so that the agreed activities will produce the right products or services to meet the customer’s expectations. Projects are temporary structures which must be properly managed and controlled in order to meet their stated objectives. They are usually delivered in an environment where both funding and resources are constrained and subject to competition.
