PROJECT MANAGEMENT
What is Project Management?
 Project management is the use of specific knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to deliver
something of value to people.
 The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building, the
relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market—these are all
examples of projects.

execution and review.
 These goals benefit companies, managers and employees by improving a project's likelihood of
success.
