Introduction to Project Management
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing, managing, leading, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. A project is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end usually time-constrained and often constrained by funding or deliverables undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.
Regardless of your industry or mission, project management is the value driver that helps your organization gets the most out of its performance.
When tailored, or “fit”, to an organization’s culture, project management brings value by improving: * The execution of strategy, through repeatable, reliable performance and standardization; * The integration within the organization, through elimination of “silos” and better communication and collaboration; * The learning that a projectized organization undergoes as it explores new products, processes and markets.
