What is project management?
Project management involves planning, organising and supervising all the stages involved in completing a project, from start to finish. Its aim is to ensure that projects are delivered on time, with the defined resources, within budget and to the expected quality.
The nature of a project can vary from the launch of a new product to the overhaul of an information system or the staging of an event. The project manager must coordinate the teams, manage the risks and anticipate the unexpected to ensure the success of the project.
Project management often relies on the use of specific methodologies, such as Agile or Prince2, which provide structured frameworks for the organisation and execution of tasks.
